    Idk I’ve been renting two weeks now. I brought in all time high numbers the last two weeks here in Orlando. Could also be that the car makes me want to drive longer. I pay $500 with charging. I’ve made $1422 first week 1467 the second week.

    I saw your acceptance rate is at 52%. You need to increase that to 85% or better. I drive a toyota yaris and i get a lot of rides that pay 15 to 20 per ride. Weekly i can earn between 1000 to 1500.I even rented a car from hertz and i get comfort rides now. Increase your acceptance rate, and you will see more money from each ride.

      I actually provided that in my other videos and I’ve mentioned many times that this is a dual motor long range tesla that comes with 350 mile range but right now it only charges to 320 miles maximum. I made $135 in seven hours 36 minutes I had to charge two times per day. Each day was $40. Tesla rental was 75 per day including insurance. So that particular day I just broke even after buying lunch but next day I did really good soda average for two days I’ve having a tesla was $150 profit for each day after all expenses.

    • @rydevip3678
      @rydevip3678  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for explaining me your situation. I think your situation is perfect for Tesla and it’s four times cheaper than renting it if you stay away from superchargers than the battery will last you a lot longer, but if you supercharge every single day, it will not even last you one year according to some of my research. Good luck and stay safe out there.

  • @calripplebear1293
    @calripplebear1293 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tesla costs nearly $100 more to rent for 1 week with Uber, have around 1 hr downtime if you charge at a superstation and costs when compared to gas powered cars equivalent to around 29 miles per galon (equivalency). The only model of Tesla Uber has is model 3, which gets at most about 271 miles on a single charge. A full uber shift of 12 hours will likely run out those miles before the end, which makes your shift really more like 13 hours (if you include the down/wait time). Given working 12 hrs shifts with 6 hrs rest and the extra $100 per week, Tesla is a VERY POOR option for Uber drivers. Don't be suckered into having to take an electric vehicle from rental companies. They suck and are horrible all around. Since a week is 7 days, you need a vehicle you can ride to the ground and don't have down time. Down time costs you money.
