So this stacked order of 3 deliveries came through it was 32 miles for $6 and change! I was like no one is going to take that while I was laughing and saying that to myself it said order accepted by another driver!!! Ppl need to STOP taking that and $2 orders!!

    I watched the entire video waiting for Kyle to provide his knowledge or offer tips. All I got was no surge, no trip and to press the decline button and wait for better fare offers. This could have been summed up in the first 5 minutes.
    How about telling us what to specifically look for in a decent ride request, like making sure to add up the total miles and making a comparison to how much you're getting paid from these upfront fares to figure out total $$/mile? And/Or also how long the trip is going to take and where it's going to take you - to the busy city or the slow suburbs? Deadhead miles back to busy areas.
    So many times drivers will receive high dollar fares and squeel like little school girls and press the accept button without doing the math. Once the driver realizes he/she's getting paid $0.85/mile, theyre not so excited about driving anymore. I got one yesterday... Drive 34 miles for $24. THIS is a ridiculous fare offer, but drivers will accept this. Or drive 200 miles for $119.00. That's 3 hours one way and a deadhead back home. I did the math on this one... after paying for gasoline, the cash left over would be around 47 bucks for 6 hours of driving. Not including tires, brakes or other maintenance.
    This video is just about Kyle and his personal experience driving his Tesla for Uber and Lyft. I also kept hearing him speak in the past tense, so I question if he's still driving on the apps or not.
    Good luck out there. Stay safe, be well, make money and get home!!

      Depends on so many factors is that highway miles? Are you in a 4 cylinder. 85cents a mile isn’t that bad. Truckers aren’t even making that. Maybe that ride is taking me where I’m trying to be. Better to take it and get paid then dead riding to another spot. So many factors come into play and I don’t think any rideshare driver should give tips. I learned a long time ago you gotta just go out into your market and figure it out. My first few weeks I was making 9 dollars a hr it seemed. I almost quit until somebody told me you gotta learn the market and come out and drive at the right times. I made 70k last year doing Lyft averaging about 45-50 hours a week

    The tier system is a safety concern 😟 uber is hiding contract information from an independent contractor and using an acceptance and cancelation process. This is making the contractor take blind contracts and subjecting them to dangerous crime areas.

I was literally working around the clock as a bachelor squeezing in time for workouts, meals and limited sleep. Made great money, bought properties, stock portfolio, etc. I then became a retail convenience store and restaurant owner with multiple locations and worked even harder. I had my first baby boy and sold it all to be with him full time during the day and so I rideshare drive at night and early mornings. I must say, driving is a lot less per hour but it pays bills for the moment so I don't have to take money out of savings. 12 hours shifts aren't strenuous if it's busy. It is the boredom at slow times which is tiring. As an XL driver the most I have made is $430 in 12 hours but that was on a holiday weekend Saturday evening (therefore it would not happen everyday of the week). Therefore, I am at a loss on how to get to $2500-$3000 per week as an XL driver.

    Great interview Sergio! Adapt and survive is the only way with these apps. I had a pretty profitable strategy when I was doing rideshare in LA. Once all the bonuses dried up I changed to DF only trips. Fortunately I lived less than 2 miles from Universal Studios. So with my XL vehicle I would just grab trips back n forth from Universal Studios to Disneyland area. Surges were plentiful and I could knock out about 8-10 total trips between 7pm - midnight and gross on average $475. And because I was transporting mostly tourists I could stretch those miles out in either direction to make the most money possible while not affecting the ETA by more than a few minutes. Good times!

      Pick up rides that is profitable. Thats the only way these blood sucking companies will increase the fare. So many of drivers out there doesn’t know what they are doing. After gas, maintenance, insurance and your time. You actually lost money if the fare is less then a dollar per mile. First don’t look at the time that take you completed the ride. To decide which ride to take: first look at the mile needed to completed the ride. If u see $11 for 13 miles don’t take it. Most of the rides comes in is 13 miles for $9, 27 miles for $20. Yes it will waste time sitting and not making $$, but its better to lost $$ right? Out of 50 rides that come in, probably only 3-5 rides that is profitable.

      IT'S NOT about driving less, it is about declining trips. If everyone decline trips the algo would have to adjust. Right now we are pinned against each other like in every single space where a broker puts something out and allows bids. You accepting a ride is merely you putting your bid on that ride for the lowest rate possible. Meanwhile if you pass it up, I pass it up Norma passes it up, perhaps algo/rider will get desperate and let's say switch to comfort, or up the bid until someone gets it. We've all had the rides where rider pays 15, and you are getting 30 bucks and its not the surge, its the fact the ride is in a low driver area, and all of the drivers are rejecting it until someone comes along and gets lucky with the offer and accepts it. Then to make up for that 15 dollar loss, they will nickel and dime during the other times of day. Just got to know, but because rides dry up people are desperate and accept everything they can just to make a buck, meanwhile costs are eating it all away...

    I live in Las Vegas. 5 year driver, (minus 1.5 damdemic hiatus)! Clark county (Vegas, etc) is twice the size of Los Angeles County! However the population of LA is over 10 million! The pop. of Vegas, about 2.3 million! 18.2 miles from center of LA to LAX! 6-7 miles from downtown Vegas to LAS! Yes, $2500-3000 is possible…doable! IN LA! $4, $5 and many under $10 rides are the norm in Las Vegas, because we are concentrated into a smaller area. $20, even $15 rides are fewer and farther between! They’re there, but they’re rare!

      It's all smoke and mirrors. Chasing bonuses isn't necessarily a good idea because they'll send you bad ride requests with high miles and low fares. I've found it best to turn off the app during every ride, then turn back on after dropping off the pax. Then decline, decline, decline until a solid ride request comes through. Low miles with higher dollar amount and compare with how long and where the trip will take me. Will it take me to someplace where there is more rides or will I sit empty for long periods of time without ANY ride requests. Or, will I have a long deadhead back to a busy area.

Example you buy a brand new Camry hybrid for $40-$50,000 and it gets into an accident you’re gonna be out of pocket unless your rear ended and then it’s their fault.
    Expensive car such as the one he drives unless it’s under warranty if something goes wrong he’s looking at two to $5000 out of pocket for a repair
    He’s a smart guy. Listen to what he says, however, just remember you will get it it’s just a matter of when, and how badly. A dash cam and a good lawyer are 14:47 crucial
    Also, a beautiful car such as the one he has is it gonna get destroyed unless you protect the seats and all areas where people can drag their feet keys are in the Hood a bag with huge metal letters that will scratch the heck out of your car on the way in and on the way out

    Is Lux still an option on Lyft? I heard a lot has changed since November 2023. I live in Orlando and worked 71 hours one week and only made $1500 gross. I was driving only on the Uber app with my 2023 Lexus ES350 which qualifies for comfort, but you don’t get many comfort requests working from 8 pm - 8 am.

    Take into fact the cost of your Tesla that you're going run it into the ground.

      The upfront premium one pays to buy an EV buys thousands of dollars ìn gasoline and when the battery dies the replacement is more then putting a new engine is a gas car.. its a farce

    If someone say they make 3k a week I call it bs. You don’t have that much time with traffic.

    How can he say he has no maintenance costs??? Doesn't his car need tires? Car washes? Recharging fees? Teslas aren't free to operate.

    Was he doing Lyft also ? As a newbie there. He maybe doesn’t know. With that car. He can do Lyft lux and black in la. I don’t think Uber has those options for him there
