I have a 2021 Toyota Corolla hybrid. I get between 65 to 75 mpg. I learned quickly how to understand and drive my hybrid and loving it. I spend between $25 to $30 to fill it up every 7 days. I drive it everyday. The key to a hybrid is how hard you drive. You need to learn how to use the EV engine more often.
I have a Ford Fusion hybrid, not the plug in one. Just using what I learned watching a few videos on hypermiling, I’m getting 48-50mpg when it’s rated at 42/40.
You can get a brand new Chevy bolt 2023 for $26,000 and that’s 6K less than the 2022 model and that’s a 100% full electric you should really check that out
@@Tuxtrio_Tv It’s a rebuild brand new car brand new model that’s why they’re selling it for cheap hopefully get people to like them again the battery was the problem before and they have a new battery I still think it’s worth it
Great points! I drive a Tesla for Door Dash and Uber Eats full time and pay next to nothing to charge. It is very expensive up front, but after that, there is no maintenance besides tires, as long as you take care of the car itself. Again, it is very expensive, but I have one because it’s efficient for work and because I just love Tesla in general. It’s my car for both work and leisure.
The most reliable used hybrid car to purchase right now is the Toyota Prius. General Motors stopped producing the Chevy Volt in 2019. The Volt had an 8 year run (model years 2011-2019) and around 160,000 total cars were made. By contrast, Toyota has been making the Prius for over 20 years and sold 1.9 million units in the US so far. A used Prius will cost more than a used Chevy Volt but the Prius is more reliable and parts for repairs will always be readily available.
I have a 2003 Chevy s10 4cylinder 5speed. Not the most practical dash vehicle but I do get about 28mpg in the city and the truck bed is perfect for those insane Costco orders! RUN IT UP!
Bro, you can buy a Prius that needs a hybrid battery for less than $2.5K, get it towed to a hybrid battery specialist like Greentec and get them to swing a new battery for $2k, $500 on some new tires and you are good for years. That’s exact what I did a few years ago. My 2nd gen Prius is hella reliable.
@@615JOHNLEE cool, I wonder how good is the battery for the 2008 Camry Hybrid. It has 180K and drives smooth but is say it needs "maintenance" I haven't drove it in the summer cus it doesn't have AC. Just been using a 2012 Camry for rideshare/delivery. Just started doing this on the side. Had bought these cars to resell but the gig apps got my attention.
As someone who has driven both a Tesla & a Prius for work (and literally dozens of other vehicles), the Prius is nearly the perfect vehicle for what we do. You would think a delivery driver designed it. It's small outside & roomy inside - I had more legroom in a Prius than I've had in SUVs. It has a tight turn radius, so you can whip it right around in a small space & it'll fit in spots that other cars won't. In a crowded, downtown/campus type of area, with lots of stop & go traffic - I peaked at 63mpg (2022 model). It didn't stay that high, but I was still hovering around 59mpg for most of the weekend. The Prius is also known for being fairly bulletproof, with battery replacement generally being the biggest repair expense over the life of the car. That's easy to plan/prepare for though. Personally, I wouldn't buy a hybrid that wasn't a Toyota - they've been making them for over 20 years. Hybrids from other companies are riddled with problems from what I've seen/heard. All that being said, I actually spent a dollar more to supercharge the Tesla than I spent in fuel for the Prius with roughly 550 miles of use on each ($43 vs $42). The Tesla is the best car I've ever driven overall & for a personal vehicle, the Tesla wins hands down. But for work? Prius all the way.
I'd suggest looking at hybrids you don't need to charge. I own a Ford Fusion Hybrid and average 46 mpg. Filled up tonight for $43 and have over 600 mile range. Food for thought. :)
How long you've had it and what year? Another guy recommend me one. I have a 2008 Camry Hybrid 37mpg but there's something wrong with the AC. I'm just driving a regular 2012 Camry 30 mpg. I've been thinking of buying a Highlander Hybrid to have multiple options with it.
No shot you get 46 mpg. I have a 2019 Ford Fusion hyrbid and at most on highways I get 43 mpg and about 40-41 mpg city. What kind of fusion do you have?!
@@CoobCanGame 2019. Sorry , was a typo. I meant to put 45. Not sure how exact their trips math is, but that is the average I've seen in the last 3 started, with all being about 3k driven. I think it's 45.5. I've been using the eco-boost mode almost exclusively, unless I'm merging onto the interstate or something. I noticed an increase in mpg when I started using that. Even if it is closer to 43 I'm happy. My Edge was getting 18 mpg. :)

Your dog is so sweet!! I drive a 2021 Prius Prime plug in, only get 32 miles on electric then it moves over to gas. I do get about 150 mpg with the mix. Good car, I've been eyeballing a smart car EV just to dash in though.
It's all great till u have to buy a battery for it u see the price of the volt battery and tesla battery. I got an ioniq hybrid I love it 45 to 50 mpg average... and the battery isn't an arm and a leg like those two.
Consider avoiding the hassle of having to charge an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid and get a regular hybrid that does not require charging. I have a 2020 Ford Escape Sport Hybrid AWD (all black with black wheels) that does not require charging and uses regenerative braking and the regular engine to charge the batteries. It has a pair of electric motors in addition to the engine. Price: MSRP $31,170. I bought it new from Ford (even though it was a year old already) in April 2021 for $28,845. MPG: 43 City / 37 Highway / 40 Overall. I have 39.6 MPG after about 31,000 miles. Fuel price for one tank (14.3 gallon tank, regular gas, at $3.70 per gallon): $52.91 - 566+ mile range (I have exceeded 600 miles several times) Cost per 1,000 miles (at 39.6 MPG): $93.43 Total after 200,000 miles: $47,531 Ok, so that is a higher cost than the Chevy Volt in your example, but hybrid batteries are much cheaper to replace than plug-in hybrid batteries since they are typically smaller. And this vehicle comes with an 8 year / 100,000 mile warranty for the batteries. And again, you don't need to charge it - ever. And you can go to the gas station every 566+ miles. Think about that. And in my case, since I not only do DoorDash, UberEats, and GrubHub, it is great to have a small SUV for the space where you can put the back seat down. I also do Instacart, Amazon Flex, Walmart Spark, Curri, and even Lyft in this vehicle. I also am a contracted driver for a local pizza place that serves 26" x 18" pizzas so that space is necessary. Maybe you want to add some of these gigs in the future and a hybrid SUV will let you do that better. Also, this one is AWD which really helps in the Chicago snow. One other commenter mentioned the Ford Maverick which is the small pickup based on the Ford Escape. However, you cannot get the Maverick Hybrid with AWD currently. And obviously you don't have as much enclosed space with Maverick unless you add a cap for the bed. The 2020 Ford Escape Sport Hybrid is super maneuverable and quite fast, especially in Sport mode. I used to have a new factory-ordered 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T so believe me when I say I know a little bit about cars and I love this one, for work anyway. I feel this vehicle may be the best balance of MPG, convenience, cost, cargo space, "drivability", and sportiness.
I door dash in a 2023 Acura TLX. I bought it several months before I started to Dash but I don’t do it everyday and luckily i get free maintenance up to 24k miles and I have an extended warranty on it. Still, I might consider getting something like a used Honda Fit or something small to DoorDash in.
You have to consider the extra videos You can make having a Tesla🤠👌🏻, but if You consider a hybrid You should consider a Toyota Corolla hybrid o Camry hybrid or Prius, are almost the sale cost of maintenance as the chevy but it won't be having to be repeared as frequently Love you videos my man, sorry the poor English, greetings from Chile (South América)
I got a Honda Insight to dash in. They’re made a lot like the Prius in terms of how they operate. Your figures for the Volt would be very very similar to the insight or Prius. The insight is a hidden gem of Honda but unfortunately they stopped making them. They’re replacing it with the civic hybrid which honestly will prob get more mpg. I mean I get an avg of about 43 and I have a lead foot. It’s really a false promise that telsa and fully electric cars will save you money. Also, accord hybrid mpg isn’t too bad either. You can get the insight or accord hybrids with probably about the same bells and whistles as your Mercedes. I’ve always owned Hondas. They’re so reliable and very low maintenance. Literally all I have to do is change the oil. I was dashing in my v6 accord but I got the hybrid. The accord was similar to your Mercedes in terms of the gas that I spent while dashing. Hybrids get better mpg in the city which is exactly what you need. The only Honda I’ve ever had to spend a lot of money on to maintain was one that had over 250k miles. Less than 200k and you just have to change oil, tires, & brake pads.
I bought a used Ford C-Max hybrid when I started delivering. It plugs in(but I never charge it that way). I get about 45mpg. It’s a super comfortable car too! Even my husband loves it. We compared videos from dealers with the volt and the cmax. Even dealers liked the cmax more(from what we found). We paid $6.5k in Feb! It’s a 2013. Seriously the best car I’ve ever owned
I have a 2010 Ford Focus that I bought 5 years ago for $4000. It gets 34 mpg which is $103 per 1000 miles. Total after 200k miles is $24,600. Also the maintenance on a Ford Focus is inexpensive.
I do a ton of city driving (and rural driving tbh, lol), in my 2018 Honda Civic sedan, and I average about 29 mpg. The manual says I should be getting around 32 city/42 hwy, but I think my lead foot knocks it down a few notches 😬
If you're gonna do Uber rideshare or EU, the best cars are either hybrids or full electrics, pure gas cars are the worst for this type of business, I'm being tempted to buy a used 2023 prius next year and full send it to do UE, maintenance and insurance is low for the prius so it fits the business criteria which is, high mpg, cheap maintenance and cheap insurance, if the vehicle meets those 3, then it's the right one for the business.
The depreciatio hit is huge on a Tesla becaue the price of a new car is so high. To balance out total costs of ownership to be lowest as possible, Hybrid is the besst way to go. Chevy Bold is so cheap with the 7 K Federal tax credit. So, you would pay only 27 K - 7 K = 20 K for the vehicle
I probaly buy a Bolt for delivery and Highlander Hybrid for Rideshare (events, concerts private clients, airport rides) Or maybe I can find the issue on the 2008 Camry Hybrid and get the AC working. For now the 2012 Camry works for me.
If it succeeds in moving into production, the Aptera, a solar/electric hybrid, would be perfect from Doordashing. 1000 miles on a single charge, 40 miles per day for FREE just from solar.
What about the Toyota Camry Hybrid? It gets 50 miles to the gallon. I'm hoping to have enough saved up after tax season to put a nice down payment on one.
My 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ is my daily and I average 18-20mpg lmao. I’m happy I finally got to order a 2023 Ford Maverick XLT, I can’t wait for 42+ mpg lol.
Hit me up. I wanna be interviewed on your channel about the dark side of DoorDash and how their employees and dashers get screwed. I got the deets!!!!!
If you're going with a hybrid I would highly look at the Prius. It doesn't look as nice as a volt, but the dependability far exceeds it. Feel free to research it. Toyota has been making hybrids for over 20 years. They sort of perfected that niche.
@@GigWisor I have two Camrys 2008 Hybrid and 2012 gas. I mainly use the Hybrid for deliveries and the newer one for rideshare. I'm interested in the Highlander Hybrid because I also do grocery shopping and would like to do UberXL and recruit private clients for airport rides and other services. It gives around 37 MPG so it makes sense to me. I'm about to look into the medical courier apps and also offer private service. So the more room and options the better.
You have still left so much out. Depreciation has to be figured into the equation. Monthly payment and taxes. Taxes on a fully electric car are double in most states to cover the loss of road use tax.
I bought a 05 prius for 2400 owner thought she was a goner cuz she had the red triangle but she it needed was a pump I’ve put 20k miles since I bought it November 2021
$23k for a Corolla Hybrid that gets 52mpg. 550+ miles per tank, which I spend less on than the normal corolla. Probably around $26-30 per tank with gas hovering around $4. Check out the cheap maintenance on Toyotas. No brakes until 120,000+ miles. Its probably the best bet for dashing. You won't regret it.
@@Farfizzle the cost keeps going down on refurbished batteries. I've seen $1500 for previous generations of Prius and i expect the same as the car ages. I'm doing great no signs of trouble on my battery. Gas mileage is the same or better even as the car ages.
I bought sonata blue hybrid 2021 i was driving civic 2011 i was getting 23 mpg now i m getting 50 mpg avg costing 6 cents per mile and tesla gives 6 cents per miles with a restriction of miles and charge time so i decide to go with hybrid i had prius also which gave me 72 mpg but i decide to trade that one cause seat was uncomfortable for me i m a big n tall man with bad back so sonata blue 2021 is perfect car for specially with self driving option i dont have to pay attention on freeway it drives by it self & features are fantastic in a price range and seats are comfortable no restrictions for a charge after 230 miles i got 650 miles in one full tank and i can fill up again any time in 55 seconds low cost conpare to tesla with 10 years of warranty if u get slightly used u still get 5 years of bumper to bumper cant beat that i m in houston market i have to put 200 miles a day so any EV is useless for me hybrid is the best option for this job period
I have a 2010 Prius that had 138k when I bought it used,3 years ago. It was getting around 51 mpg then. Fast forward to today…it just went over 216k miles, and I started DD’ing in October 2021. I average 30-45 mpg now. It takes me 25-30 dollars MAX to fill. It runs on the built up power for the first 30 miles every time I start it up. I have a few friends that DoorDash, and they all drive Prius hybrids too!
I just checked and the cheapest brand new tesla is a model 3 at 47k. when buying tesla online click the actual price, not the one with potential savings. the potential savings is basically actual price minus gas price saved for like 5 years
I financed a 2013 Ford Focus manual but am realizing a Prius would of been better even if it had higher mileage. But then again that’s my Lyft car if I doordash I use my motorcycle that gets 70 mpg THAT is the best vehicle to use get a motorcycle! Lol
"Tesla"? Are you kidding me!? There are so many more EVs available. I drive a Nissan Leaf. You can get a used S Plus model for around $30K. I spend about $300 per month charging my car. If you can charge at home it will be about $20 per month depending on your service provider. Seriously...the $ i save on gasoline covers all of my car's expenses: payments, insurance, carshield and tires. (Brakes are still practically new since i use the e-pedal instead of the regular brakes)

I will stick with my 2022 Toyota Mirai. Drives on Hydrogen and Toyota included a $15,000 fuel card. That's 60,000 miles. No maintenance, just rotate the wheels
The highest milage tesla has over a million miles, but they had to change the battery at 250k miles... so I assume that this is the life of a battery... electric cars do not pay road tax yet, so that is a cost that will be coming down the pipe. Also, if you plug it up at a charging station expect to pay a a LOT higher price (41 per KW cent here verses the "now recently higher" 15.5 cent a KW at home. Hybrids are nice, but you cut 100k off the life of the car do to technology compared to non hybrids (yes there are 500k ones out there, but most people I know have issues after 190 k to 200k miles)... So if you don't have California gas prices, maybe there is no need... though city driving is harder in non hybrids verses hybrids Don't overlook the higher off the ground cars that have decent gas mileage, getting in and out of small suv is a lot enjoyable verses car. Plus, I'm moving towards spark, so more room for big orders and large objects... It's a personal choice... Happy driving out there...
compare what you'd be saving in gas with the hybrid then with your mercedes, and then divide that number by the cost of the hybrid, that is your roi on the new car
Or you could drive a cheap car that gets good MPG. Honestly, picking out one of the worst sedans to do food delivery in as your gas example and then declaring that gas is bad because of it is absurd. Why would someone with a brain not get an old Corolla or Versa or Civic if they're buying a car specifically for food delivery?
You're an impressively smart dude. A bit of a bootlicker. And I think you will thrive even harder once you realize and correct that, so no offense. Very respectable man that you are. You are a great example of what humans can be and do when psychological trauma isnt hindering them.
A new Tesla is much more than $38000 It would be probably hard to find a new one for less than $50000 Used ones are less but they hold their value well I have both a 2013 Chevy Volt Premier and get about 42 miles in the electrric range and with full gas about 350 miles It is a nice car I do my Gig work in a Chevy Blot 2017 Premier I have gotten over 300 miles doing DD and can charge at home at night No real Maintenace just the tires You can find used Bolts in the 20's K much cheaper than the Tesla but not as nice I have been very pleased with both Vehicles I would look at You Tue Videos for each car and check out the face book groups for Tesla Bolt and Volt or any other EV you are interested in
I have a 2022 model 3 before the tax and other fees the cost of the car was $64,990 now I did get enhanced autopilot not fsd. I bought brand new from tesla now if you buy a used one also buy from tesla it will a bit cheaper dealerships around here are selling tesla from 2019 to 2022 for 15 to 20 grand o er the cost of a new one you just don't have to wait for the delivery I waited 6 months for mine but was well worth the wait

I door dash in a 2023 Acura TLX. I bought it several months before I started to Dash but I don’t do it everyday and luckily i get free maintenance up to 24k miles and I have an extended warranty on it. Still, I might consider getting something like a used Honda Fit or something small to DoorDash in.
You have to consider the extra videos You can make having a Tesla🤠👌🏻, but if You consider a hybrid You should consider a Toyota Corolla hybrid o Camry hybrid or Prius, are almost the sale cost of maintenance as the chevy but it won't be having to be repeared as frequently
Love you videos my man, sorry the poor English, greetings from Chile (South América)
I got a Honda Insight to dash in. They’re made a lot like the Prius in terms of how they operate. Your figures for the Volt would be very very similar to the insight or Prius. The insight is a hidden gem of Honda but unfortunately they stopped making them. They’re replacing it with the civic hybrid which honestly will prob get more mpg. I mean I get an avg of about 43 and I have a lead foot. It’s really a false promise that telsa and fully electric cars will save you money. Also, accord hybrid mpg isn’t too bad either. You can get the insight or accord hybrids with probably about the same bells and whistles as your Mercedes. I’ve always owned Hondas. They’re so reliable and very low maintenance. Literally all I have to do is change the oil. I was dashing in my v6 accord but I got the hybrid. The accord was similar to your Mercedes in terms of the gas that I spent while dashing. Hybrids get better mpg in the city which is exactly what you need. The only Honda I’ve ever had to spend a lot of money on to maintain was one that had over 250k miles. Less than 200k and you just have to change oil, tires, & brake pads.
What do u think of the honda crz the hatchback
@@edxander7169 I’ve never owned one but the gas mileage is supposed to be good. Can’t go wrong with a Honda
I bought a used Ford C-Max hybrid when I started delivering. It plugs in(but I never charge it that way). I get about 45mpg. It’s a super comfortable car too! Even my husband loves it. We compared videos from dealers with the volt and the cmax. Even dealers liked the cmax more(from what we found). We paid $6.5k in Feb! It’s a 2013. Seriously the best car I’ve ever owned
I have the same car. Love, love, love it.
I have a 2010 Ford Focus that I bought 5 years ago for $4000. It gets 34 mpg which is $103 per 1000 miles. Total after 200k miles is $24,600. Also the maintenance on a Ford Focus is inexpensive.
I do a ton of city driving (and rural driving tbh, lol), in my 2018 Honda Civic sedan, and I average about 29 mpg. The manual says I should be getting around 32 city/42 hwy, but I think my lead foot knocks it down a few notches 😬
If you're gonna do Uber rideshare or EU, the best cars are either hybrids or full electrics, pure gas cars are the worst for this type of business, I'm being tempted to buy a used 2023 prius next year and full send it to do UE, maintenance and insurance is low for the prius so it fits the business criteria which is, high mpg, cheap maintenance and cheap insurance, if the vehicle meets those 3, then it's the right one for the business.
The answer is a Prius
The depreciatio hit is huge on a Tesla becaue the price of a new car is so high. To balance out total costs of ownership to be lowest as possible, Hybrid is the besst way to go. Chevy Bold is so cheap with the 7 K Federal tax credit. So, you would pay only 27 K - 7 K = 20 K for the vehicle
I probaly buy a Bolt for delivery and Highlander Hybrid for Rideshare (events, concerts private clients, airport rides)
Or maybe I can find the issue on the 2008 Camry Hybrid and get the AC working. For now the 2012 Camry works for me.
If it succeeds in moving into production, the Aptera, a solar/electric hybrid, would be perfect from Doordashing. 1000 miles on a single charge, 40 miles per day for FREE just from solar.
I drive a tesla model 3 long range and it's the best decision I made cost me about 60 to 70 a month for charging which I do at home. No oil changes.
5:25 was so necessary cuz at
2:41 he was making me feel bad lookin sad asf
😂
What about the Toyota Camry Hybrid? It gets 50 miles to the gallon. I'm hoping to have enough saved up after tax season to put a nice down payment on one.
That is the car I am buying. 53 mph plus it's a mid size car. You can't beat Toyota.
I Have a Toyota Corolla Hybrid. A bit on the smaller side but it gets 55mpg no problem
My 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ is my daily and I average 18-20mpg lmao. I’m happy I finally got to order a 2023 Ford Maverick XLT, I can’t wait for 42+ mpg lol.
How much? All electric?
Hit me up. I wanna be interviewed on your channel about the dark side of DoorDash and how their employees and dashers get screwed. I got the deets!!!!!
A Civic Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Prius and Bolt are perfect for Delivery.
I have a 2016 volt. Amazing vehicle
I’m currently Dashing in a Kia Soul. I’m going to get a hybrid when my car goes.
If you're going with a hybrid I would highly look at the Prius. It doesn't look as nice as a volt, but the dependability far exceeds it. Feel free to research it. Toyota has been making hybrids for over 20 years. They sort of perfected that niche.
Prius, Civic, Camry and Highlander
A Highlander? That's a big vehicle for food delivery. Or did you want it for other users too? I agree with the other choices you listed.
@@GigWisor I have two Camrys 2008 Hybrid and 2012 gas. I mainly use the Hybrid for deliveries and the newer one for rideshare.
I'm interested in the Highlander Hybrid because I also do grocery shopping and would like to do UberXL and recruit private clients for airport rides and other services. It gives around 37 MPG so it makes sense to me.
I'm about to look into the medical courier apps and also offer private service.
So the more room and options the better.
@@777_Logistics got it! Makes sense.
Just purchased a 2008 honda fit for 2,500$. I personally think a paid off or a fully depreciated car would be best.
You have still left so much out. Depreciation has to be figured into the equation. Monthly payment and taxes. Taxes on a fully electric car are double in most states to cover the loss of road use tax.
i have a kia rio 2019 check them out. i get on highway 50mpg and in city about 40-35mpg
I bought a 05 prius for 2400 owner thought she was a goner cuz she had the red triangle but she it needed was a pump I’ve put 20k miles since I bought it November 2021
$23k for a Corolla Hybrid that gets 52mpg. 550+ miles per tank, which I spend less on than the normal corolla. Probably around $26-30 per tank with gas hovering around $4. Check out the cheap maintenance on Toyotas. No brakes until 120,000+ miles. Its probably the best bet for dashing. You won't regret it.
How much for a new battery once it dies? How long does battery last? I read they only last 150K miles and cost $8K for new battery. 🔋
@@Farfizzle the cost keeps going down on refurbished batteries. I've seen $1500 for previous generations of Prius and i expect the same as the car ages. I'm doing great no signs of trouble on my battery. Gas mileage is the same or better even as the car ages.
I had no idea, thanks Joel! 😊
I bought sonata blue hybrid 2021 i was driving civic 2011 i was getting 23 mpg now i m getting 50 mpg avg costing 6 cents per mile and tesla gives 6 cents per miles with a restriction of miles and charge time so i decide to go with hybrid i had prius also which gave me 72 mpg but i decide to trade that one cause seat was uncomfortable for me i m a big n tall man with bad back so sonata blue 2021 is perfect car for specially with self driving option i dont have to pay attention on freeway it drives by it self & features are fantastic in a price range and seats are comfortable no restrictions for a charge after 230 miles i got 650 miles in one full tank and i can fill up again any time in 55 seconds low cost conpare to tesla with 10 years of warranty if u get slightly used u still get 5 years of bumper to bumper cant beat that i m in houston market i have to put 200 miles a day so any EV is useless for me hybrid is the best option for this job period
I have a 2010 Prius that had 138k when I bought it used,3 years ago. It was getting around 51 mpg then. Fast forward to today…it just went over 216k miles, and I started DD’ing in October 2021. I average 30-45 mpg now. It takes me 25-30 dollars MAX to fill. It runs on the built up power for the first 30 miles every time I start it up. I have a few friends that DoorDash, and they all drive Prius hybrids too!
I’m averaging 41-43 mpg with the insight. Sometimes more if I do more city driving
@@Goodvibesonly40 mine now has 228243 and it’s getting 41 to a gallon on the current gas fill.
I just checked and the cheapest brand new tesla is a model 3 at 47k. when buying tesla online click the actual price, not the one with potential savings. the potential savings is basically actual price minus gas price saved for like 5 years
Everyone that's lonely now has a "service dog". It's getting ridiculous.
The most "cost effective" one. Pay for a toyota corolla for less than 12k in cash. This is your answer. Otherwise you are wasting your money.
Gas or hybrid?
I financed a 2013 Ford Focus manual but am realizing a Prius would of been better even if it had higher mileage. But then again that’s my Lyft car if I doordash I use my motorcycle that gets 70 mpg THAT is the best vehicle to use get a motorcycle! Lol
Go Honda Toyota you can't beat those I drive a Honda Fit
Hands down the Toyota Prius is the best car to dash in from a reliablity standpoint and from dollars and cents . Tesla would be the least economical
I think a new Bolt or Bolt EUV is best especially next year when they qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit.
Ole corolla / honda simple dont do it w a new car de value ur car more
Nissan Leaf is the tipper option for an electric car now. Just $20,300 after getting the Federal tax credit for electric cars.
Honestly, I wouldn’t buy a Chevy Volt to save my life…much less touch a Chevy Volt with a ten foot pole!!! 😂😂😂 I’m just saying
"Tesla"? Are you kidding me!? There are so many more EVs available. I drive a Nissan Leaf. You can get a used S Plus model for around $30K. I spend about $300 per month charging my car. If you can charge at home it will be about $20 per month depending on your service provider.
Seriously...the $ i save on gasoline covers all of my car's expenses: payments, insurance, carshield and tires. (Brakes are still practically new since i use the e-pedal instead of the regular brakes)
Volts are notoriously problem stricken. I would stray away and get a prius instead.

Prius 04-09 can’t beat the reliability and gas efficiency American cars suck in comparison please not a Chevy lol
i was going to buy a 08 or 09 prius but started reading about very expensive brake actuator problems....is it a common problem?
I will stick with my 2022 Toyota Mirai. Drives on Hydrogen and Toyota included a $15,000 fuel card. That's 60,000 miles. No maintenance, just rotate the wheels
Sounds nice but I think the only Hydrogen fuel stations are in CA, Certainly none in Indiana.
Corolla hybrid , FordFusion Hybrid have more options man
The highest milage tesla has over a million miles, but they had to change the battery at 250k miles... so I assume that this is the life of a battery... electric cars do not pay road tax yet, so that is a cost that will be coming down the pipe. Also, if you plug it up at a charging station expect to pay a a LOT higher price (41 per KW cent here verses the "now recently higher" 15.5 cent a KW at home.
Hybrids are nice, but you cut 100k off the life of the car do to technology compared to non hybrids (yes there are 500k ones out there, but most people I know have issues after 190 k to 200k miles)... So if you don't have California gas prices, maybe there is no need... though city driving is harder in non hybrids verses hybrids
Don't overlook the higher off the ground cars that have decent gas mileage, getting in and out of small suv is a lot enjoyable verses car. Plus, I'm moving towards spark, so more room for big orders and large objects...
It's a personal choice... Happy driving out there...
I drive a Ford Fusion Hybrid one tank of gas gets me 500 miles i average 44.9 mpg it cost me about $50 a tank
I get 56 mpg on my Corolla hybrid
Thats stellar. What tires? i get 52.2-52.3 but used to get 53.1 with different tires.
@@joelb79 i use the tires that it came with
@@MrZAPATA92186 Yokohama avid?
@@joelb79 yes sir
Basically any 4 cylinder toyota or honda any other brand do your research it can be hit or miss on reliability
I love dashing in my $4500 used smart car it's orange it's starting to have electrical problems
Tesla is not the electric car to get. I'm going to be getting the new Chevy Blazer when it comes out.
How much?
compare what you'd be saving in gas with the hybrid then with your mercedes, and then divide that number by the cost of the hybrid, that is your roi on the new car
Why do u have service dog..?
Dog hairs = better tasting food
@@777_Logistics , great.
My prius full tank hybrid gets me at least $500
Or you could drive a cheap car that gets good MPG. Honestly, picking out one of the worst sedans to do food delivery in as your gas example and then declaring that gas is bad because of it is absurd. Why would someone with a brain not get an old Corolla or Versa or Civic if they're buying a car specifically for food delivery?
You're an impressively smart dude. A bit of a bootlicker. And I think you will thrive even harder once you realize and correct that, so no offense. Very respectable man that you are. You are a great example of what humans can be and do when psychological trauma isnt hindering them.
Why are you saying new cars when the ones you showed had over 70,000 and 40,000?
A new Tesla is much more than $38000 It would be probably hard to find a new one for less than $50000 Used ones are less but they hold their value well I have both a 2013 Chevy Volt Premier and get about 42 miles in the electrric range and with full gas about 350 miles It is a nice car I do my Gig work in a Chevy Blot 2017 Premier I have gotten over 300 miles doing DD and can charge at home at night No real Maintenace just the tires You can find used Bolts in the 20's K much cheaper than the Tesla but not as nice I have been very pleased with both Vehicles I would look at You Tue Videos for each car and check out the face book groups for Tesla Bolt and Volt or any other EV you are interested in
I have a 2022 model 3 before the tax and other fees the cost of the car was $64,990 now I did get enhanced autopilot not fsd. I bought brand new from tesla now if you buy a used one also buy from tesla it will a bit cheaper dealerships around here are selling tesla from 2019 to 2022 for 15 to 20 grand o er the cost of a new one you just don't have to wait for the delivery I waited 6 months for mine but was well worth the wait
2018 Prius C is what I'm driving, it's the best
I prefer gas vehicles cause I can still achieve over 30mpg at least, in the city. No hate on the hybrids and electric cars.
@@mrhatchyK24 I heard these hybrid's are getting 50+mpg
@@BouncinBrandon yea if not a lil more.
Hybrids are not for me. I'm fine with 35+ mpg in the city. I can get 40+ with gas but i dont see the point. even with doing deliveries 35 is plenty.
@@BouncinBrandon i get 60+ in mine combined Highway and city
@@mrhatchyK24 Once you've experienced deliveries on 52mpg there is no going back. It's so efficient. I feel like I'm cheating the system its so cheap.
What battery lasts 400K miles on a Tesla??? Wtf
Before you get a Volt... Do yourself a favor and look up Tesla SAV.
I've had 3 Toyota trucks go over 400000 miles
What's up with the thumbnail? Looks pixelated, like from 1988.
Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla ..
For hybrids go for a toyota
Just don't get electric if you live in california
I like my kia soul
I want a motorcycle, 75 mpg.
At that point. Just buy an electric bike dude.
You might be better off with a Nissan leaf , cheap and no gas
Don't buy a Chevy anything. Toyota is a proven car. Get a 2023 Camry. Midsize car and it gets 53 mpg.
Get a Elantra hybrid
Yea if your driving a mercedes at least drive uber/ lyft 😃cant believe you dd in that.!
Is it just me or are all the chicken places absolutely awful for us drivers? Nothing is ever ready, rude staff, and the order is most likely going to be wrong. With the exception of cfa, of course.
Don't go there unless they're paying good
New tesla for Tesla 38,000???? 😅
toyota prius
This a awful list!! Volt is expensive and is crap! They blow up when you drive them and tye blow up when you charge them. Tesla is expensive crap and I will not go into a Mercedes
Go hybrid full electric a environmental disasters waiting to happen.
You doordash in a luxury vehicle hahaha. And apparently you lie about giving to Charity.
Chevy volt is a stoner car lol
A 4 years old tesla isn't a new tesla 🤡
Please stay away from Chevy
You wasted my time
