I'm in Boston, I just turned to uber black, now my insurance is a commercial, so it cost me $1,110 per month . My 1st week was $1900 ÷ in 6 days, just black.
This is a very good and informative video, thank you. I do Lyft black and Uber premier aside gigs (I have a FT job) with Tesla Model Y in Austin, TX. The wait times can be horrendous, but I don’t mind waiting. I also only do Thursday and Friday from 5ish to 11ish PM, and Saturdays from around 10-10pm, depending on whether UT has a home game or there are events in downtown. My earnings vary depending on how busy I am, but my weekly earnings are in the 800-1000 range.
@@sktim4109 I see , not bad for the market , you should focus on events for long rides . I get other stuff done while I wait for rides so I don’t mind . Keep up the good work !
@@ESCAPETHEMATRIX private clients are ok.. but I’m not gonna leave the city if it’s busy to go to Jersey or Brooklyn to pick up a private client for a trip.
I'd do all Uber rides on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I'd do Uber Black only. Doesn't Uber have a function that lets the passenger pick you as their preferred driver?
Do you drive in Manhattan to get black rides? Or you stay in certain spots to get black rides? What time? I get a lot more black rides on Lyft. I almost never get black rides on Uber.
Lyft gives free upgrades to lyft pink , but a lot of lyft black didnt actually order a lyft black , yes I go to Manhattan for uber black rides , you have to go where there are office buildings , events , etc .
I noticed Lyft sends a lot of black riders for regular Lyft prices. Actually, I get a lot of Lyft black rides in low income areas. I don’t care as long as I get the black rates.
I just checked , and the total cost of charging that week was $73.22 , but I got incentives for that week from con Edison of $21.84. So the net cost for me to charge that week was $51.38 ! Hope that helps , keep in mind I only charge at home
It’s not a big deal making money in New York City like an Uber Uber Uber or Lyft Driver. Come to jeresey and try to make the same money. The Uber tlc driver can pick up passengers in jersey also. This is so unfair!!! If I have a tlc I could make 1300$/week easy!
Do you need commercial Insurance for Uber black? I'm thinking about buying a 2017 Toyota Prius under 130k mileage which will only qualify me for UberX. Or, buy a used Tesla model S or Model X that has under 100k mileage, which will qualify for practically all of them including Uber black. The only tier it didn't qualify for is Uber Black SUV. I drive in the bay area. My budget is 12k cash for the Prius or 20k cash for the used Tesla model S. How reliable is Tesla because I wouldn't want the Tesla to give issues constantly and I wouldn't want to drop the car at Tesla dealership and have to wait weeks for it to be fixed. I drive Uber full time and cannot afford not to drive for two weeks because the car is broken. Toyota Prius is reliable and retains value a lot. My issue with Prius is that I will only be doing Uber X which is extremely competitive and price and demand is down to the toilet right now. I had to do 12 hours just to make 300or 350 before expenses. Based on your experience with Tesla, what would be your recommendation if you're in my shoes right now? Thank you!

Wow your insurance cost is pretty high ! Did you shop around ?
Awesome first week ! How many hours did you work ?
How many hours?? 1900 is okay but I do that with comfort. Considering doing black....
Dude what I’m in Boston as well my insurance is 586 monthly driving a 2022 suburban
@blokpam7387
Can you give a little bit of info about your insurance, please? It's awful when you have to pay so much. Thanks.
@@blokpam7387 who is your agent? I’m in Boston and looking for insurance.

Black platform alone isn’t good if you do this fulltime. Do all calls and make as much as you can
For sure , but I do think black is a great way to build up private clientele

Nope, unfortunately, it does not
They do. I’ve gotten that request a couple of times.
@@reddysetghost interesting, what market are you in ? It maybe different
I think honestly if you’re going to black , get an SUV, LLC or S Corp.
@@jmack91 thinking about getting an escalade
Where you at bro? No new videos or livestreams. Hope everything is okay.
I’ll be back mid June , my car is in the shop
Do you think its worth to upgrade to tesla model y for uber black right now im doing uberx with hybrid toyota avalon
@@justinalex7613 no , you will make just about the same
Can you drive Uber black XL with a Tesla model x?
No , teslas are only uber black max not uber black SUV

@nickshin9336 makes sense , but don't expect the same quality of rider , nor the same big tips of real black rides.
That’s true. Almost all black riders in hoods do not tip. I’m ok with that.
Which car is efficiency to buy for uber black??
@@arfinrana1986 what do you mean by efficiency? What’s are you looking to get out of the car ?
@@ESCAPETHEMATRIX i mean which uber black car burn less fuel and less costly to maintaining!!
@arfinrana1986 if you can charge at home a Tesla is about $200-300 a month charging cost at home , also 25k miles so far and no maintenance as of yet
How much did you spend charging for that week you drove your Tesla
I just checked , and the total cost of charging that week was $73.22 , but I got incentives for that week from con Edison of $21.84.
So the net cost for me to charge that week was $51.38 ! Hope that helps , keep in mind I only charge at home
How in the world did you get to drive UBER black for just one week? Don’t you need commercial insurance on the vehicle?
I have commercial insurance

@@oldsoul4699 just uber black , my tesla model y does not qualify for uber black suv
Excellent breakdown
Thanks ! I appreciate you watching
Why have commercial insurance??
It’s required in NYC
@@ESCAPETHEMATRIX only in nyc??

Come to jeresey and try to make the same money.
The Uber tlc driver can pick up passengers in jersey also.
This is so unfair!!!
If I have a tlc I could make 1300$/week easy!
Life is not fair my friend
