Reply to this comment if you want a 24 hour challenge!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

24 hours of GREEN rides in an electric car, because you get more money.

[@tonyalvarez6845]

You can’t drive for more than 12 hours on Uber. It’s part of the terms and conditions add to start you have to wait six hours to start again and get rest so it’s not possible to 24 hours.

scam

[@DeenyAlislam-rh6bj]

Lyft and Uber has become one of the worst jobs ever , Uber is ripping off the drivers taking 65% to 70% from drivers income, riders telling me he got charged $110 for 15 miles ride, I got out of that $110 $35 that’s it, all rides in San Francisco $5 $4 what a joke has this company has become.

[@Simon_Cow]

Your lucky here in New Jersey a 15 mile trip pays $15 dollars cause it's a dollar a mile which is less than half that $35 you make in San Francisco for a 15 mile trip.

[@kraft837]

Yes, that’s true. UberX is not what I thought it was Uber takes 65 to 70% of the fee and then leaves you with 40 bucks driving 120 miles round-trip. There is no way I can afford to do that. I declined everyone it would take me $35 in gas money to drive to the airport so a five dollar tip I don’t think so. That doesn’t even include all the tolls I’d be losing money doing that, they should let us keep the whole tip and fare

[@rjbbtv959]

If that not works for you.. dont do it no body forced u to do so..

[@kraft837]

@@DeenyAlislam-rh6bj yes!!! very true. They keep 70% of the profit and we’re the ones driving our cars, using our gas then we have to put gas back in our cars 15 miles that’s 30 miles round-trip because we have to come back to our zone that we live close to I was in shock when I got an offer for the airport, that’s 140 miles round-trip for $45. OMG no way. It would cost me six dollars in tolls $30 in gas money for a measly $15 NO THANKS

[@geraldfontain4652]

Uber is terrible

[@imeldaolivarez5316]

You maximize your earnings by taking everything and setting destinations, so that you’re never empty. I have a tesla model 3 and charge, eat and use the restroom all in 30 min. I made $80k doing uber in 2022. You wake up early, stay consistent and set goals.

[@timetowakeup6302]

You made $80K after all your expenses were paid for?

[@ozzie3056]

After expenses he made 30k😅

[@Trina78]

Why do think driving lyft or Uber has expenses like no other job doesn’t

[@Comicbookyoutubersrock]

@@Trina78Because it absolutely does. You drive for Amazon or a Pizza restaurant you think they force you to pay for gas, maintenance, insurance, wear and tear? Hell no! Driving for Uber/Lyft you have pay for all of that. And the cost of insurance is nuts because you have to do additional rideshare insurance. If Uber/Lyft covered some or all of your expenses, yes this would be a solid job. But instead of calling drivers employees, they avoid all that by calling us freelance contract workers. So we get no benefits or anything. I believe only in California is health insurance provided, but that's only if you drive a certain amount of miles, and it's ALOT of miles! To think you have to make quotas just to get healthy insurance, crazy.

[@ChrisJones-st5tj]

yeah dude dont know what he talking about i make mad money on uber with tesla

[@daver3681]

I drive Uber and Lyft in a Bolt EV and you do not want longer rides. You want a short $8 to $10 ride. The key is cherry picking and taking the ones close by, only a few miles away and short mileage distance after pickup. You can then make $30+ an hour, especially with good tips if doing it right. Multiple rides in an hour is key! Les mileage, in town, non-highway mileage is the best. EVs are very efficient in town and you will burn far less kWh. Also you pack your lunch and don't eat out! Thermos of coffee, etc. I only work morning and evening commute hours, Friday/ Saturday late afternoon to evening. Midday during week and weekends is slow!

[@timetowakeup6302]

What market are you in?

[@Jcutler666]

i rented bolt ev to drive for Uber and I agree that you only should accept the short trips because charging the ev with such small tank is whole another thing to worry about with the time and price it takes to charge

[@alfymo]

This is true, but it also depends on your market. I’m in Texas, and everything is spread out so this isn’t so easy.

[@pedrohizzle2835]

whats the best year bolt to buy?

[@Royaltyizme17]

I know I made 82 In two hours and 48 minutes

[@gusmarrero]

I make between 30-50 an hour when I work. Usually 8pm-12am. I don’t cherry pick Injust go from ride to ride. Unless is ridiculous. I think you make more that way. Because the algorithm is taking you . If you stop it by not accepting rides then you’re slowing your progress.

[@wantsanewvehicle]

lol forget that. I drive school bus. It's 60 miles a day and I 'work' 5.5 hours. ~1 - 1.5 hour of that is spent driving by myself either to the school in the afternoon (which I then sit for 10 minutes waiting for the kids) or driving from the school in the morning, or driving back to the garage from the last drop off in the afternoon- and then some of the time is spent for checking the bus over before/after driving it. I know who I am picking up at every stop, every day.. a bunch of cute kiddos and most of them are awesome :D Also..no wear and tear on my car other than the ~2 miles each way to/from work = 8 miles total. I make $230/day..and have my summers off to enjoy (I get unemployment during this time, which is a lot less than my regular pay but it's all good- I have plenty saved up from during the school year).

[@MrKongatthegates]

So driving schoolbus is better than Uber. Good to remember.

[@thall100k]

I would like to see not a 24 hour challenge because it’s unrealistic. But an 8 hour challenge where you accept every ride and see how much you would make then. To compare if it is better to wait for long rides or take every ride.

[@dogan7851]

👌

[@kevonb13]

You will never ever get a accurate number. Example 1. You drive 5miles. And a passenger tip you $10. You drive 30miles and a passenger doesnt tip you. See.

[@sergestrada2]

I like short rides cause with Lyft I get a offer to do 22 rides for $400 or 11 rides for $200. Every week is different

[@GothamsHero_]

Pro tip 1: confirm pax 2: pause for seatbelts 3: start trip 4: go go go. Asking homeboy where’s he’s going is opening you up for attitude because you can see where they are going. 💨

[@AlanTrades]

What is pax

[@Comicbookyoutubersrock]

It's not weird that the first ride cancelled, because you accepted it while still in your apartment and took forever likely to get to the location haha.

[@mwoaf]

I love these videos. great to see them again

[@motivationandtravelchannel4575]

Very good review! Good and HONEST! Lots if these Uber drivers on KZbin LIE.

[@kevonb13]

Nobody can ever give a accurate number. Its different for everyday and everybody. Some days you can literally make $1,000 in one day. Or make $100 in one day. Thats just it.

[@fongsungjaupseio5542]

The honesty is great. Here in Louisville, KY. On regular weeks without big events, you'll probably make 18-24 an hour. The cost of living and gas here is significantly lower than where you work but you do make less due to less surges. I've done this full time before and barely got by but I did get by during those times. Certainly higher paying no skill jobs for sure out there.

[@Catherine22518]

I never eat out. I make my thermos of coffee and meal prep and take my snacks/meals with me from home.

[@drfrankm]

Excellent video bro. I have been a Uber/Lyft driver for 4 years. When I started driving I did very well. 100k a year. But right now in 2023, it really sucks. I don't recommend anyone to drive for these guys. I still drive but only part time. The flexibility is the only reason I still drive, I take care of a 97 year old mother-in-law so I need flexible work schedule in case I have to take her to doctor or hospital. Thanks for your informative video. Great job

[@HowMuchBitcoin]

Thanks man!

[@Comicbookyoutubersrock]

Crazy to think you could make $100K a year at one point. That must be near impossible now with how much they take now.

[@drfrankm]

@@Comicbookyoutubersrock that's right

[@guillermovalencia4387]

The drivers need to unite and demand a fare share of the money. Just my opinion

[@MrMasatepe54]

You don’t make $100k when Uber takes more than half. Your net is way less. Much less. This is why this is a scam.

[@DeenyAlislam-rh6bj]

It’s a garbage job , it’s no good no more, used to be but now Uber is ripping off the drivers .

[@bribri8679]

Cry baby!

[@alexdepina3294]

I recommend on your way to work or wherever you’re heading set the location to give you a ride or two on the way. Best way to mitigate costs and make about 20$ on the way and 20$ on the way back home in some areas. Will cover your gas.

[@saminmahmud6049]

If you don't pick up the ride, then Uber will screw you up with your exception rate. You don't get any rides when the exception rate goes very low. That's how they designed the algorithm!

[@irandoosti]

Thank you so much for your informative video.

Uber in DFW has stopped offering bonuses at all or if they do it’s around .50 a ride lol.

I didn't drive Lux or Black.. just regular UBER. Just depends on the market. I didn't drive at night and just focused on the morning commute to the airport.. that is where I got my biggest fairs and many of them were business people so they tip because they're often there on the company credit card. @@dami_dre

[@PoopscoopGG]

Does Uber really take 50% of your pay ?

[@utubenewb1265]

1) My Prius gets 42mpg even with idling with the heat on, and it's a old one. In summer a new Prius averaged almost 48mpg as a taxi. 2) If you can't find food for less than $20 then pack food from home for $5. Even if it took 30mins to save $15, that's $30/hr. Can you get a $40k Tesla to do 300,000miles of rideshare like a $25k Prius? Or a even 200,000miles of rideshare on a used $12k Prius?

[@PeterTeehan]

in my region we do not have up front pricing. Our only way of making an educated guess is my distance to the PAX. In my case, I only accept trips that are less than 2 miles away from my location. Anything beyond that is wasting fuel. I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado and it snows a lot. I have a 2020 Jeep Compass Trail hawk edition. Gas currently is averaging 2.60 a gallon. I decline long trips because outside of Denver or COS, you will most likely deadhead home and thus dead miles earned.

[@erdal_lefrontalier]

Your channel is very good. I'm working in the Switzerland, uber is very interested. I recommande of working into this country.

[@darkhorse2reign]

I own and drive the same vehicle and been at this since 2016 (previous vehicles were hybrids). Um, you're going about this WAY WAY wrong. 1) Drive only when it's very busy. 2) Drive in DENSELY populated high income areas. 3) I reject at least 75% of all Uber and Lyft offers which brings me to the 4th and final suggestion. 4) Use Lyft and Uber because they compete for passengers and drivers. USE that completion to profit from their promotions. 5) I keep thinking of more problems with your methods so here's another. Driving on Uber X is wasting your vehicle. Gotta use Comfort, Electric Comfort, Premier and Premier Hourly. Lyft has XL and Lux. Those categories pay FAR better than Uber X and Lyft standard. 6) I make consistently $1500/week no matter what. From what I see you would have a lot of difficulty making a grand. And if you do you'll wear yourself out completely.

Quick note: Food is a write off for taxes purposes while working. So calculating food is t the way to go. Keep track and deduct

[@timothydodd7412]

Also mileage

[@lucasthiele2169]

Food is not

[@utubenewb1265]

You can try and "write off" anything you want. But when you get audited you will pay back taxes, penalties and interest. Because normal meals while working are not tax deductible. The standard mileage deduction for the day described would drastically reduce his taxes.

[@jayvegas3765]

Don’t do this. I used my Tesla and now my car has a lot of miles on it for nothing.

[@legendofzoloxolo1425]

UBER is horrible in Los Angeles I’ve been doing UBER 6 years & now it’s not possible to survive

[@drfrankm]

[@commuterbranchline8132]

$3:75 for a coffee? I’d have brought a thermos flask from home! How can drivers make a living if rideshare companies offer less than $1 per mile? The food is your choice, you could brown bag. However these rates cannot cover Gas, maintenance, vehicle depreciation, tires or cleaning!

[@michaelcharach]

What if you get a speeding ticket, flat tire, or in a fender bender you are out like a day to a weeks wage. Seems pointless.

[@utubenewb1265]

The amount earned will definitely cover his car expenses but leave a rather low profit. The only thing that makes a day like this financially viable is that he could write off 67¢/mile and his total car costs are probably about 40¢/mile. So his after tax take home should be $90-100 for entirely flexible hours. But that's not great.

[@vcarter0723]

I'd like to see a longer one like 24hr, but I think it would be better to do either uber eats or postmates (food) rather than driving people.

[@xavierjackson8039]

No because there is a lot time wasted between you getting out of the car to pick up the food or delivering it. Also you may wait 15 minutes or longer for the food after getting it. I've made $330 in day driving people because it's more fast paste than delivery. I've never made $300 with delivery

[@TLCNewsNetwork]

I do uber suburbs long trips only, $25 per ride and up, and still not making much, uber is taking between 40 to 50% of your income. Plus the trips are way less now then last year alone. Uber is not what it used to be.

But even then I have to drive 53 miles just to >get< to a place where I can earn money, that would be Salem, Oregon... so just getting there and back costs me 2.4 gallons, or $10.87. How can I refuse trips and still keep my ratings up? In order to maintain Pro-Diamond Level, I have to have my acceptance rating above 85%, and currently I'm at 95% and I have no idea how it's that low... how do you refuse a ride and keep that acceptance rate above 85%???

[@Bartetmedia]

It's a scam, here in Miami they take about 55% of the total amount of what the pax pays and they have the balls to claim that they only take 17% Lol!. I make less now than 8 years ago. The reasons why I still do it is because I do almost all my mechanical work myself, and most importantly the freedom to wake up and go to work when I want to. I'm still paying for my last two repairs of $1,500 still after a year. Not to mention all the other repairs in the last 5 years when things started to fail.

[@licnakarta100]

Nice video. Why did you calculate $42 for gas when you drove Tesla and spent $16 to charge it? The only reason I watched this video was to see how much you can make with Tesla. It's about $3 more per hour considering $16 charge not $42 gas.Even more if you don't calculate food that you would have to eat anyway even if you stayed home and watched TV all day. In this economy $22 net driving for uber as a newbie is not so bad even if you kill Tesla after 7 years driving it considering how much it saves you on fuel and maintenance unless someone breaks your windows or destroys your battery which is crazy expensive to repair. If you drive 2019 Tesla 3 (worth about $30K) 5 days a week (1000 miles/wk) that would save you on gas almost $400 a month which would be Teslas monthly payment Thats almost $5000 a year minus tires replacements as the main cost. Also premier and lux (lyft) rides with Tesla bring more money. Not sure it you had any.. Am I wrong here?

[@kellysater3562]

How do you see what the rides pay? I’ve done 50+ rides for Uber and I never see any details about the trip (destination) until the rider is in my car. And I know nothing of the payment details until the ride is complete and they are out of the car for 2-3 minutes. Then the app tells me how much I get. I’ve been locked into trips to Chicago Ohare (145 miles) like this. And that’s 145 miles back home with ZERO pay.

[@MrKongatthegates]

Depends on your market. I would cancel a ride for over 2 hours with no trip back, no way in hell.

How much is minimum wage?

[@viyau10]

I’ve been desilutioned with Uber. The only thing I see good is you get paid the same day. I find long rides pay okay if you’re only taking into account hourly rate. But the miles they want you to drive makes the long trips not worth it. Once Uber took out the ,55 cent gas incentive it has gone downhill. I’ve begun to decline a lot more rides. 2-5$ rides are not worth it. Uber share is a definite no. Means the rider is broke or cheap and won’t tip.
