i have a 2013 Prius, and even tho it's good on miles, i've come to the conclusion that it is NOT worth ridesharing in, cuz you're gonna only be eligible for the lowest tier ride options, which means damn near every ride is trash money wise. The only time it's worth it is if there's surges, but how often do those happen. With that being said, i've finalized a deal to trade in my Prius for a Tesla Model 3, it's arriving this weekend for me.
But on the model 3 you only get comfort rides, which barely pay anything more than normal rides?
So you’re buying a car that’s twice as expensive, for you to be able to make 10% more on rides?
@@ZavHustles I get way more options than comfort dude
@@ZavHustles i like how you're assuming i got a Tesla JUST for rideshare, i got it for that AND all the other benefits like low maintenance, enjoyability, savings on charging instead of taking it to a gas station. Like bro, i'm going from a boring ass Prius to a Tesla, that ALONE is worth it. Plus, i got my Tesla at a great low price. so it wasn't all that expensive
We always say that make sure whatever vehicle you use, it ca provide as many platforms as possible but never buy just for rideshare. In your situation, the Prius doesn't have many so I agree with your choice here, I support it. The benefits of low operational cost is very good and its fun to drive and offers other opportunities so "let's get this money"!!
Love your weekly updates! Excited about the Tesla & Uber Week 4 Recap and getting answers to those burning questions. We sent you an email, please take a look.
Great video sir!
Thank you kindly! We are all in this together!!
Enjoy your content fantastic job
Thank you, we are just trying to help!
Thank you, sir!
Thank YOU Sir!!
Glad to see you are testing the market before you by. When you look at the down payment monthly payment and insurance i think its worth seeing how much you can pull in during your slow time in your area. Wonder if you can buy the car from them. Im sure they will want to sell it at a certain amount of miles. Would be nice to pick up a model Y that you know a renter didnt drive into the ground. You would know exactly how it was taken care of.
DING DING DING!!! SOMEONE FINALLY GETS MY WHY LOL!!! I have so many comments complaining about why am I renting instead of buying but disregard when I explain it to them HAHAHA.
Fort Lauderdale here also, Enjoy the video's. Keep up the grind!
Grind is what we do!! Appreciate ya!!
if you can make the payments and still have your walking around money during it's slowest month you will have no issues when it picks back up in a month or two. Love this series cause I started doing rideshare in November mainly thanks to Red and you guys I wanted to try it out and I love doing it and have wanted to rent out a tesla through drive whip in the future.
It is slower than usual for sure and i seem to be doing ok so yes, I should do better if and when it picks back up. That's the other point that IF I can cover my costs NOW then my purchase will be easier on me in the future but some people don't see it that way HAHA.
Gig Wars for life!!!!
I feel you, Vinny, me and Willy used to do push-ups every day when we used to be surfing buddies. It works.
Back to basics, back to "Army training sir!" (Bill Murray voice).
The push up idea is f cking gold!!!! As a full time Uber/Lyft driver I have unfortunately gained weight ( who would of thought it huh lol ) and absolutely hate it!!! So I’m definitely gonna start doing this. Thanks for that…. You my friend have just started a whole entire wave😂
Thank u
Vinny that's a deep dive into the box. Lol. Keep that XT6 at home and put the miles on that rental. The Tesla is preferred. IMO. When I go to the airport I get pings right away.
I agree plus the "app" factor about wanting more EV's on the road for their benefit, gov't subsidies etc. The rabbithole can go deeper!!!
I use the distance to pick up as a Guage for saturation.
EXACTLY!!!! I've been saying this for months hahaha. The further they want me to go pick up, the less drivers in the area. The more trip radars that pop up, the MORE drivers in the area. LFG!!!
I just don’t get it…. Your numbers for the week 48 hours for $1254 = $26.13 an hour for drive time. Then take away cost of renting and charging. Has to be $12-$15 dollars an hour you’re making. To each their own.
💯 facts the Pivot is down
Tell em Melvin!!!! They can't hear you in the back!!!!
Thank you I'm looking to purchase model 3 Tesla 2029 used from hertz
Make sure you have it checked for all issues! I think its a great idea, good luck and let me know!!! #teslagang
Yes...a lot of negativity from drivers lately, but understandable...as you commented. How much do you think you are averaging per ACTIVE hour driving each week? $40-$50?
I love this new show. Thank you for all your time & comments. Invaluable.
I still have to work the actual Hourly numbers, I will get those done for you.
Miami fort laudrdale is pretty good place. Was getting lots of lux black rides
Our market isn't bad and being right place, right time is paramount!
get them sets in!
Careful Vinnie! You keep working out and you'll have to by a new wardrobe!
Bro, i have to find a way to get motivated, I need that summer body before the Rally HAHAHA.
HAHAHAHA
I think in your area the Tesla works fine for you. However, in the Delaware market, I've read some articles about the batteries freezing for the last few days. We have 8 inches of snow and it's about 15°. I don't think the electric vehicle is ideal.
A Tesla Model Y long range 4 wheel drive is an excellent car for colder climbs. If you can fit a home charger, charge while,you sleep. Set the onboard timer to pre heat the car for your selected departure time in the morning. Fit Cross Climate tires from Michelin and enjoy the stability and security of 4x4 drive which is one of the safest cars ever tested. The heated steering wheel & seats are toasty warm right from the minute you get into the car. Check out National, State and local EV tax credits too.
That I can't answer but @TheDrivenDad drives in Colorado bd I don't think he has had many issues with cold weather, I could be wrong. We are going to get the Rideshare Garage Tesla Edition going by weeks end and will discuss all those issues as well. Hang in there @lamontjackson6922 I know you have been having a rough time up there!!!
@@VinnyKuzzthat battert is gonna depreciate dont do like i did finance that just for gig work car will be done in 3 uears and i had long range
May I ask you what strategy we should use as riders to not be declined on a ride in Ft Lauderdale? We will be there in 3 weeks for a ride from an airport hotel to the cruise terminal. (it's a Saturday morning on a cruise ship day). Our hotel is suggesting we use their 3rd party transfer....and they added that we should not call a cab because of long waits. We prefer uber or lyft anyway. I realize a lot of people will be going from the ship to the airport that morning between 8 and 10am. Seems to me it would be a great turnaround to pick up at an airport hotel and go back to the terminal. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Please understand, there is no correct answer to your question.
Such a tough spot as the apps have cut the rates for drivers so drivers are very hesitant to take shorter trips especially considering the wait time at the entrance to Port Everglades. Depending on the size of your traveling group, IF you want to use Uber or Lyft then select a higher platform, XL or above, and that might get the driver who accepts to complete the trip. I don't think they purposely accept trips just to cancel them as its a waste of time to do that alone.
This is just my opinion, means nothing but most times its on the apps with the UFP regardless of what the rider is paying (not the riders fault) that has drivers frustrated. Have a great cruise!!
Ey bro!! I'm a new follower, i have a question... if you rent your car with uber, how you active your car in lyft?
So I rent my Tesla from a company called DriveWhip which allows me to drive for all the gig apps, not just Uber.
www.drivewhip.com/rideshare/
They offer different types of vehicles so check and see if they are in your area. Tell them VinnyKuzz sent ya!!
Uber and Lyft is a grind and decent money is there . Just have to grind to get it at least in my area
Grind is what it is, Grind is the magic bullet!
Bro face look a 100 years old im in austin tourist town with these immigrants and pay cuts it dont make sense bro literally working for mcdonalds and chic filet money i dod uber lyft all tuem for 7 uears anyone still in that game is a sucker
Let me talk to you about Prius.
I earned $2751 last week on a Prius.
I’m making more than Tesla drivers.
My monthly payment on my car is $ 356 so it’s win win situation for me.
That's Awesome!!! I'm not slamming the Prius, im just saying it's not for me.
@@VinnyKuzz yeah I knew that.
in my market 30 an active hour all day/night long doing x/share. Dont need black, comfort, xl or electric
That's how it should be, you know you're market and know how to go get it. Good stuff!
Do you use two different phones to run both apps if now how do you choose which app to use?
I do run 2 phones and I'll always take the best ride available, shut the other app off while doing it to save drive time and NOT SEE if something better comes along LOL.
how do you pay for charging and can you use the tesla app ?
I pay direct through the Tesla app because Im renting with Drivewhip now. When I had the Hertz rental, I had to pay thru Hertz and im sure Hertz is adding a fee to it.
Is drivewhip in North Carolina?
I know I may have spelled name wrong. Please correct as I want to check into this.
I'm not sure, check their website drivewhip.com. They rent all kinds of cars too, not just tesla.
I wish I could experience premier at least once lol
In Austin, you can!!!!!! The Rally is real!!!
Question: Would you say that close to half your take goes to the rental?
I think he is... I spend on average $30-$50 a day on gas times 5 days = $250 a week in gas and take home at minimum $1000 a week after... compared to his $500 a week for a Tesla... $1250 he takes minus $500 for the Tessy = $750 a week if he only does it in 5 days! Most people who rent a Tesla generally work 7 days... I believe tax mileage write-offs in his Cadillac XT6 are far better than the $500 tax write-off per week in the Tessy... and he would not have to limit his potential of ride types in the caddie as he has with the Tesla... plus I'd rather sit for up to an hour catching up on news, videos, entertainment and constantly getting Unicorn rides in my Suburban than chase $20 an hour rides in a Tesla... I make way more and drive less... and because of my Suburban... i make $3 a minute per private ride in cash... Dont think you can do that in a Tessy unless its a model S... "just my 2 sense."
about 40 to 50% yes for now. As I figure out the best times for these types of rides Im taking, working whatever strategy I think will work it should get better. Also with the lower platforms like comfort, I need to take more trips which is the exact opposite of what I do when I drive my SUV.
I can say though, Im making the same money as with my SUV but I've saved about $300 on fuel so that's a plus. Once I purchase then I'll save even more but it's a process that I am going thru to figure it out.
How long did it take for drivewhip to respond back to your application it been almost two weeks since I heard something back
Its was about a week when I first signed up so not sure why you haven't heard from them, I dont have any connection other than the rental. I'd keep shooting them emails LOL.
I’m in the same boat it’s been like four weeks for me and they haven’t reached out. I also emailed them several times. I guess they don’t have any cars available? I am in south Florida area
What’s the name of the company that you used so you can drive both platforms at the same time?
I use DriveWhip. www.drivewhip.com/rideshare/
Make sure to let them know VinnyKuzz sent ya LOL!!
Does model 3 Tesla good for lyft black
No, has to be the Y or better
Tesla ok but XT6 is everything
Exactly!!!!
Agreed but im not wasting miles on my XT6 at this time, its an experiment to see how it goes. My pivot is down so we have to try this while I can. I will not drive my XT6 on lower platforms at all LOL.
Im confused as to why uber is giving you comfort, but the comfort rixes im getting which os not as many. All are becoming $1 per mile or less, for COMFORT!!. Is uber fukin with me or what??
When u say model y or better so no model 3 Tesla then ,so model y or model s ,does it have to be black
In order to drive Lyftt Blk, you will need the Model Y,S or X. The model 3 qualifies for Uber premier if that's in you area. Yes, the exterior must be Black.
You’re losing $1,000 every month you rent that Tesla instead of buying one. I get interest rates are high, but you’d be paying an extra $100 a month on interest, as opposed to the extra $1,000 you’re spending for the rental.
When you rent a Tesla, you don’t have to pay for the wear and tear. Most of these Teslas once they had 100,000 the battery is toast then you’re looking at 20 grand for a new battery that’s why you have to be a lunatic to buy these pieces of shit cars that got ranked most unreliable vehicle by consumers report their junk
I guess we keep missing the reason WHY i'm renting at this moment but its ok, later down the road it will become more clear LOL.
All cars are made for short term performance these days, none are made to stand and take the abuse of what we do haha.
@@VinnyKuzz That’s not true get yourself a Toyota Camry or Corolla that they will go 500,000 miles which just brakes and oil changes if you get yourself a Tesla you might think you’re making money but once you hit $100,000 and have to put a $25,000 battery in there that’s where it will all go. Gas powered car transmission goes up couple thousand dollars engine rebuild a couple thousand dollars electric vehicle will bankrupt you. They’ve already been studies find the TH-cam videos.
He is not loosing $1000 a month!!!
At least he is paying for the rent $500 a week.. $2000 a month!!!
He is loosing around $2000 a month!!!!
9 hours 200 wtf im makin 6k every 2 weeks driving city bus cdl yo get out thst shit And u renting no benefits no overtime yikes
Nice, what state are you in? I didn't know city bus drivers made that much
@@LightCodes333 Austin Texas they pay a moving fee to relocate states as well
