Its not the same engine. GDI (aka oil burner) vs Port injection.

Thanks for the review, great video!

What will you be pivoting to for your next job?

The great gig in the sky

The economy is rolling over and we're very close if not already in a recession. Lots of people are losing their full time employment and replacing it with multiple part time gig jobs. I can't imagine this slow down will get better any time soon.

I enjoy dinner/grocery delivery but it’s become very expensive. Curbside offers convenience without the cost. The effects of high rents really curb an individual’s disposable income. I think people are just trying to be smarter about how they spend their money.

I have accepted that i care nothing about acceptance rate since being on the apps starting in 2016.

Gig companies spend time thinking about ways to reduce their rates. Roadie, for example, likes to "bundle" deliveries. I won't run Best Buy deliveries 'cause they bundle orders. They'll list 10 items going maybe 80 miles and start the fee at $50. If you own a hybrid then maybe that's profitable. Your time is probably worth more than the $12/hr you're getting but there are some thirsty people out there.

The platform is screwing both sides. When you order a ten dollar sandwich and end up paying 30 bucks without the tip, its like buddyyy. This is why i personally dont use these services. The ubers and grub eats have gotten way too greedy.

I signed up for Walmart Spark over 2 years ago yet they still say my area is full. I run into people all the time that say they just started working for Spark & recently signed up 💀

If you don't do it, someone else will. You look for dollars they will take pennies.

It’s really bad out here

good info

enjoyed the video--I'm retiring from my salary job in 11 months when I turn 70. Was thinking about doing gig work when I retire just enough to earn about $200 per week here in the Atlanta metro area.

i agree with you, I have done the food apps for almost 4 years, the orders have become so bad, its not worth it anymore, gas prices, bad tippers and lower pay from the apps, its just about done, IF you want to turn a profit, silly drivers, how dare they want to profit lol

Talking with these newly arrived illegals, I've found out there are ppl out there that are renting gig accounts out to these people that don't have the legal documents to which include no licenses, etc.

Every ride every delivery we are all training our replacement. Ai. This was the plan from the beginning.

Mario makes two good points. The first is the gig economy from a provider side has outgrown the demand. You cant have a whole nation of jobs seekers and third world immigrants doing the same, almost slave model platforms. Also, the 2nd being its very possible more people who order can get immune to tipping or small amts. I mean really they hide behind their doors already

Scary to think how fast the deliveries could be taken over with autonomous driving since it'll happen with products faster than humans -I mean Uber eats before Uber.

Happy 4th of July!

I tried helping pedro...I sent email to tony xu

New subscriber here. It used to be a lot better. A lot easier to earn monies, but it’s certainly gone downhill in our market for food deliveries. Always multiapp. 👍

Discovering your TH-cam channel feels like finding a hidden gem. Your content deserves to reach a much wider audience because you offer some of the best advice and information out there. Thank you for all that you do; your channel is invaluable.

Nah transparency alows us to steal their customers and do private rides

Facts I’m so tired of these sheep channel that dont tell it like it is all dd content should be telling it like it is

since illegal imigrants have gotten on the platform ..DD now has all deliverys being takin..so yes its a good time to find work elsewhere

Thank you for the video. It was exceptionally well done, and your sincerity and genuineness really shone through. You saved me a lot of trouble, and I truly appreciate it.

Gen 2 had direct injection. My '23 engine CVT combo much better than my '17 which got 4 mpg less and burned oil. Gave it to my daughter with the warning to check the dipstick weekly. Did she? Nah. The Gen 3 has burned no oil at all. Biggest fear is KiaBoyz. They can't steal this but they're stupid and may break my windows anyway. Maybe a red steering wheel lock and the new logo will deter them. It's a KN, right?

Just picked up my second Kia Soul, a 2024 LX. Thanks for the great review. Where did you get the deep floor mats?

I've been thinking about getting one and I found an older 2010 Ignite Orange one with the 2 0 ingine andvI heard they're super reliable as well. I'm going to test drive it tomarro.

That's almost a dollar a minute..

Great video village very helpful

I have heard the speakers/sound system are weak....what are your opinions on this? Many people mention that they turn them up all the way and that solves the issue.

I don't do any of this (gig work), but still find it very interesting and have been watching along. This seems like it would be cool content for a Udemy course. You are already doing TH-cam vids, perhaps just a 4 - 5 hour course on how to get started, what to look for, then of course, how to calculate revenue, taxes, etc.

Brother, I stopped using Upside because of this. I just go to whatever is cheapest in the neighborhood that isn’t a trashy station.

Really enjoy your video...direct, candid and to the point. The Soul seems to be a great vehicle. You probably have no issues because you do one very important task....you take care of it. Thanks again.....

Great review. I am looking at the Soul in the same trim. I really like it. One thing: There have been some online complaints about the non-LED headlights being too dim. What has been your experience? Thanks

Uber sucks as a company. They rely on drivers who don't understand math and the true cost of running a vehicle to operate. Once drivers smarten up they are toast.

This is why I give Uber and Lyft drivers cash tips.

Maybe there needs to be more government regulations or maybe unions should get involved

I always suspected as much! That's why, when I use Uber or Lyft, I'll show the driver that I'm leaving him/her a tip.

Sorry for the spelling😂😂 not sure how I did that! Fat fingers 😂

I believe it. I go days without getting one tip.

I had a woman tell me she had a gun and that I had to take her when I asked her to exit my vehicle. Called Lyft support and they said nothing we can do.

It's a crime. Someone should be charged, but we dumb Americans allow companies to be separate legal entities from the people that run them.

I've been seeing these stories, and I tip very well. I have a good job, and I've done limousine service, in my past, we're married to the car, and there's profit, but not much, a good tip is really appreciated, I thank my good fortune I'm not still driving, so from now on, 00.01 tip on the app, and I'll just provide the driver cash! That ends this Uber theft from drivers!!! Shame on Uber!

A billionaire gives a $5.00 tip while his business gets tax rebaits from you and me.
