So I've gotten better at conversations with passengers, the only problem is they almost exclusively talk about the car which I enjoy, but it gets a little repetitive for videos... my next goal is to explore more unique topics to keep things interesting lol.
Alex sending morse code blink notes to add in for editing is too funny! 😂 Hopefully the convos shift from the tesla to something different soon. I always notice that uber drivers tend to follow the passengers lead for how much conversation they want but then it means the passengers start it up sometimes so it can be difficult to pivot away from the topic! Part of my canadian soul died when you said “i hope you’re doing well” to the woman and she said “thank you” instead of “you too”.
Kudos to you for learning Morse code. I know it's not a language but learning something like Morse code or languages like Mandarin or French is a way of opening up, giving things a chance, and evolving. Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own. Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going. Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things but learning another way to think about things. Knowledge of languages is simply the doorway to wisdom. Hope you pick up a couple!
Yea i'll deff dabble with learning languages my job has a nice size of spanish, korean, chinese, and german speakers some can switch on the fly which is so cool or has someone translate for them. And i'd love to just pick up another language and sign too even never know when it'll be needed.
I ride A LOT of Uber and the drivers are always thankful they don’t have to tell me how to get in and out. 😂 Some of the men will reach over and open the door automatically though. Since Uber has this deal with Tesla, they should input a pop up that explains how to get in and out when you get someone with a Tesla.
"So one technically started in Wake Forest, come on, that's basically Raleigh" in favor of cities absorbing the suburbs? Pretty based...I'm loving this Urbanist Alex era. Saying "Alright, I'm just gonna start driving" right when one pops up for a short journey was such perfect timing. You learning Morse Code to communicate with us is dedication. I always found Morse code to be neat and there's nothing wrong with trying something new. It's cool that they do promos like this! Definitely helpful if you live near a city. And kudos to the guy at 8:41 doing an arm pump for being the star of the show
One of the things that bother me the most is when a passenger sits in the front seat specially when is just them. It shows very little social intelligence. Why do you need to sit in the closest space next to a complete stranger in practically a box. I keep my front door locked, and I tell them to go to the back if they try to open it. If they don’t like it they can kick rocks.
I recieved $350 promotion one week for completing 30 trips. It was awesome, but now the promotions are like $15 to $50 depending on which quest you choose.
@@GoHerping some do, some don’t. I’m in a mid sized city and have had people literally drive up to me and then take off when they see I’m going 8 blocks or whatever. It sucks. I guess it’s like fear of missing something better but then you’ve already wasted all this time for a ride that would have only taken 3 minutes. Makes no sense.
hmm yeah, thank you doesn't pay the bills unfortunately. Why bother with apmt gate codes, finding bbuildings and red lights for 3-4 dollar rides. NOT worth it
@@PoserPosse But still.... its really dangerous driving without one even if you are sitting in the back. I dont really need the government telling me to save my life in this situation.
I just went through some of your recent videos. Sad I’m a new youtuber😢 wish I started following sooner. Well let’s prepare for a binge! You make me geek Alex! Keep on going bro I’m a normal 24 y/o and you is a dude id fasho chill and hang with daily 100
I never got used to strangers getting in my car. Anything could happen at anytime and you’re on you’re own. Food delivery is much more safer, convenient and easier. It’s quite dangerous doing ridesharing these days. Try to stay safe out there buddy.
yeah, i've done about 500 more rides since this video and like 490 were completely pleasant, but those few outliers really do add to the overall stress. i've recently only been doing amazon and doordash, though i'm missing out on earnings by not dealing with passengers
Uber fired me after changing my car I got a new Subaru cross trek and the company said no go to me for the background check they did and fired me I really wish they didn’t do this but they claimed I had a past background issue they didn’t find prior to buying a new car pretty sad I can only do Walmart and instacart deliveries and I’m losing my income at 45k with instacart and what ever at Walmart spark it’s pretty sad that Uber refuses to let you work when you update your cars like me! Ps not one other app has said my background is bad only Uber! And I did 260 trips before they fired me I was set for 90k a year!
So I like to talk about now - How was your Christmas, any plans for New Years. Bring up weather, depending on your location mention the local sports team. Ask them how long they have been in the city pros cons about the city and so on. You control the conversation. If you get one-word answers or one sentence as a response - clearly, they are not in a chatty mood and just drive them to the location. Gotta a good feel on the PAX - a lot of times theyll be appreciative that you weren't talkative. Bad workday, a fight before living the house, or whatever. Ask some starter questions and if they don't engage then move on.
Definitely have to read the room. I’ve been given good tips sometimes from passengers that seemed very unapproachable and where I couldn’t wait for the ride to end because of the vibe. But I’m guessing they just weren’t in a good mood and appreciated being just left alone.
The more you drive the less often you will get these offers so don't get used to it. I've been driving (only passengers) for over 8 years part time. The last time I received an offer such as this was when I stopped driving for 2 months in the beginning of the year due to the lowered pay that began in Jan 2023. Great job going home after completing the bonus. That's the only way to do it. Don't let any of these companies take advantage of you. I have not driven in over a month in solidarity over low pay from Uber. It's the only communication that they understand. Good luck!
Making money from Uber is an excellent opportunity to diversify your income streams and build wealth. It's all about seizing the right opportunities and leveraging them effectively. I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third car already, earn on a monthly basis and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made..
I highly endorse Regina Louise Collaro, a US-based financial advisor and consultant. Partnering with an international organization, she has been instrumental in guiding my financial journey with unwavering support until my goals are met. Selecting the right financial consultant is as crucial as finding the right life partner, as both can significantly impact your life's trajectory. I'm grateful to have found the perfect financial consultant who has helped me achieve my financial objectives, from education to nearing retirement.😊
I've wanted to start investing for a while. Yet, I've always considered it to be late, and I believe I should quit putting things off. I'll absolutely contact Regina Louise Collaro to ask her for advice. Much thanks. This was quite helpful to me.
This is a shocker to see Regina Louise Collaro mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring an investment advisor. For the record, I started working with Regina in 2019, and she manages about 70% of my investments while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that she has a wealth of information on current conditions and future trends.❤
The window tip was great advice. I've been doing Uber for about 3 weeks now. And i've had At least 3 passengers who smelled really bad. One smell all like cigarettes which is not nearly as bad as the other 2. Who smelled like terrible body odor it was the worst I've ever smelled. I couldn't even give any more rides for at least 30 minutes to an hour afterwards cause I had to stop and clean my car and even then it took a while for the smell to go away. But the thing I regretted the most was not being able to put my window down without it being awkward so I had no choice but to leave it up.
Lol. Without the +$100 bonus it’ll be $50 in 2 hours. Which is about $25 an hour. Typical Uber move: they lure “not so smart” drivers to think $150 in two hours is typical (which is not) and then those drivers keep driving more and more hoping to get more of those sweet bonuses (which not happen often)
@@GoHerping haha. Exactly my point! They normally give those promotions to either: new drivers. Or drivers that didn’t drive a few months. Just to lure you back into the system. Once you’re in, they keep ducking you with low a- fares.
Looked at a Tesla, noticed the door handles and thought they'd be a problem opening for some. Was going to put a small transparent sticker which says 'push' but looked at a different car, not electric.
It's actually pretty bad lol that's not a large amount of money especially after gas,wear&tear and taxes that's fuckalls maybe if you live in your moms basement sure it's good you can't live off this money lol and I wonder what the next 6 hours after these 2 looked like.
At this point, I’m feeling your frustration with opening the tesla door so you should put a sign on the back of your front seats that explains how to open the door with pictures lol
Hi! I own a business and work as a manager at another. I can probably afford a new car, but having a car paid off has made me stubborn and I estimate my new car cost to be at 600$ including the note and then insurance monthly. My idea is that I would do 3 shifts with Uber a month to pay for it. Based on your experience, is this feasible?
i haven't gotten an uber quest in over a year now which sucks. so my average earnings is $22-25/hr after electricity expense for charging. i'd say it depends on what kind of car (gas expense), how much you care about it (damage from passengers) and how long you'll keep it (resale value). mine has been very beat up from people's shoes, bags, keys. and the increased wear and tear plus now it has a ton of miles so the value is lower. overall, it's been worth it for me, i started doing these apps in order to keep my head above water last year. so this is the preferred outcome versus having to sell it to cover my other debts! personally, i wouldn't want to uber with a brand new car while also working fulltime. i imagine it may be more valuable to focus on scaling the business to generate an extra $600/mo instead of cutting into your freetime or worktime
You should consider putting a little placard near the door handle, interior and exterior, with instruction for opening the door. I’m sure a lot of people would still ask, but lol… seems like a good idea to me.
Yeah, sure. I worked the New Year's Eve Promo like this $50/3 rides in three hours. They literally did not give me any rides. It took the whole three hours to get 3 rides in a busy area. I certainly didn't get the darned $200/5 rides for the two hours that remained. Stop promoting this crap. It's all a scam.
they're the same app, I think there were a few individual steps to activate each one. but yeah, I just disable Uber eats and Uber pet when I go online, but keep uberX, comfort and green enabled
I prefer Uber of all the apps as well. Although Instacart is fun and addicting. Door dash is ok if you live in a busy city. I was a delivery driver for years though and love delivering food.
When I used Uber (for rides to and from work) I talked about literally everything but only if the driver wanted to talk. Some drivers just want silence and I respect that. 😅
Perhaps try hanging various decorations in your car- to get people to talk about different things. Making use of 'conversation starters'. Otherwise, the insides of cars are pretty sterile.
So reason why that girl sat behind you was because it’s safer as a passenger in case of kidnapping or trafficking since the driver can’t grab you as easily
So i’m a dude, i always choose to sit behind the driver for the following reasons - they usually won’t or talk very minimally - i’m just used to sit in the left rear cause i find putting on the seatbelt slightly easier - to deter from being watched by the driver / possible cameras to much Not that i have bad intentions, it’s just that i like somewhat of a privacy.
If u were really making 150 for 2 hours, then Uber drivers shouldn't complain. I say impossible unless passengers are being ripped off, which is possible.
I also drive a model 3 for Uber and having to instruct every person how to get in and out is Soo annoying. I put stickers on my door handle so I can say "push the red dot with your thumb and grab the black piece with your fingers"
@@postnutregret I haven't seen a two-hour promotional drive. Unless in the last two hours, he finalizes the quest of 50 with a few leftover rides and closes the bonus. Or it might be different in different cities out of my knowledge. Nevertheless, the frenzy of Social Media titling and presenting is most of the time very misleading and unviable.
@@GoHerping yes it is indeed an interesting way to make money on the side as well because you are just trying all games for maybe 10 to 20 minutes and accumulating
If I'm doing a quest like in this video, pretty much ignore it and go for the shortest rides possible. when I don't have a quest, I shoot for about $1 a mile, sometimes a little less. Most people will say that isn't enough, but most trips around here are pretty long
Now Uber is trying to let you make $22/hr in LA with Tesla. You spent long hours of waiting time to make $700/ week in LA with Tesla. If you don’t mind taking UberX share ride, you mind make more money with Tesla. Don’t forget your insurance cost for Tesla. Even regular driving range will cost you staring from $3000. If you tell your insurance company you will use it commercially, it will start from $5000 just car insurance alone.
Uber has a built in map, I assume it's just a version of google maps. but I often put the address into Tesla nav, if passengers want the car to drive itself to their destination
@@Chipinitv it's just a usb c so it can go in and of the ports. though mine is plugged into the center console cigarette lighter so i have the other ones open for phones
They must have not had anybody to drive for Uber in that area so they needed to provide a heavy incentive hence those kind of promotions. I’m in So Calif but east of Los Angeles and I have never seen those kind of offers. It’s usually $15 for 20 trips which is a joke. I have heard from veteran Uber drivers that the promotions USED to be good. But these rideshare companies are practically bleeding money trying to survive. Awesome deal for you tho. 🎉
So I've gotten better at conversations with passengers, the only problem is they almost exclusively talk about the car which I enjoy, but it gets a little repetitive for videos... my next goal is to explore more unique topics to keep things interesting lol.
I promise if you have a conversation with them about protractors it will be interesting
Just talk about Wednesday and Taylor Swift. That seems to work for most people
HONE in on your communication skills🫠. I’m practice at my job too 😅😅
印度🇮🇳客人从来不会给小费😂评分非常低，垃圾
do your white seats get dirty easily? White will stain much quicker than any other color.
Alex sending morse code blink notes to add in for editing is too funny! 😂 Hopefully the convos shift from the tesla to something different soon.

How many people (who don’t know how to open the door) do you think panic internally that they’re gonna be stuck with you forever?
so my car has childlock and sometimes i forget to open for them at the end of the ride; you wouldn't believe the stares I get 🤣

Your uber videos are probably my favorite, second only to you struggling to shop with instacart. 😂 And your morse code blink messages are 10/10.
At this point you need to make an automated message instructing how to open the door. 😂
Or a third party handle attachment!
Nah just a few stickers. Put a red dot and a blue dot. Lol press red dot push blue dot. 😂
I ride A LOT of Uber and the drivers are always thankful they don’t have to tell me how to get in and out. 😂

huh, that's surprising. Yeah I seek out the shortest ones possible, even when not doing a quest, so I assumed others would do the same

Oh man...I'd like to try part time but my biggest issue is I have a C300 mercedes and I can't handle stinky people 😫
0:58 this is why you don't use a tesla as an Uber. Try a Prius, basic yet intuitive, efficient and way more trip time cuz of the vastly better range
I love when they do promos like that. I made 1500 in 20 hrs from a promo like that on Lyft
noice
How is nobody putting on their seatbelts? In my country everybody puts it on!
Well being as they're a country which believe men can be women and women can be men, it's not very surprising.
Some states have laws saying that only the driver needs a seatbelt.
@@PoserPosse But still.... its really dangerous driving without one even if you are sitting in the back. I dont really need the government telling me to save my life in this situation.

welcome :D
You need a "push here to open" magnet for when you Uber haha
The problem with needing to tell everyone about your doors. That would drive me crazy.
I’ve been enjoying the Uber videos a lot. Are you do any more streams?
it's on the shortlist of priorities!
Should get a PRESS label for the fat part and a AND PULL label for the skinny part of the door handles
I’m thinking of RENTING a tesla though HERTZ but instructing every passenger how to OPEN/CLOSE door would drive me Insane 😂
Focus on the money man lol😂
Awww the first passengers were so sweet

Ask some starter questions and if they don't engage then move on.

They only give those good trips to new drivers who just signed up recently.
My car wont move if they dont put on a seatbelt
You should consider putting a little placard near the door handle, interior and exterior, with instruction for opening the door. I’m sure a lot of people would still ask, but lol… seems like a good idea to me.
I wanted to get the white Tesla model 3 but I feel like it would get dirty inside right away. Maybe a black one is a better option.

You won't be making that much once you become a veteran driver for Uber.
I live Irvine, California Uber works sometimes two hours Three hours a week I never made 150 I go close not far you ar lucky
In NJ we STILL can’t see the fare or drop off address of the trips 😡
that's weird. so what info can you see before accepting?
Great info and good editing.
thanks!
Good job. Do you work in vancouver?
Are uberx and uber eats bundled into one app? When you are online for both. did you receive uberx and uber eats requests simultaneously?

install a baby mirror will help you watch the passengers
people being confused by how the tesla works will never get old
What a waste. Driving a Tesla on Uber X. $4.75 cent trips..how embarrassing.
When u get paid do u have to wait until u can touch the money or u can use it right then and there
you can do instant payouts which is like a $1 fee, otherwise it's a weekly deposit
I prefer Uber of all the apps as well. Although Instacart is fun and addicting. Door dash is ok if you live in a busy city. I was a delivery driver for years though and love delivering food.

Hello, am coming to Ontario Canada as an international student please which apps and car is good for Uber? Thanks.
I also drive a model 3 for Uber and having to instruct every person how to get in and out is Soo annoying. I put stickers on my door handle so I can say "push the red dot with your thumb and grab the black piece with your fingers"
that's pretty clever lol
Hi Alex what dash cam do you use
its a vantrue from Amazon :) geni.us/GHdashcam
No way normally a driver earns 150 or so in the matter of 2 hours. If you get lucky or a premium ride or an x ride, it still doesn't add up to that.
He shows it was a promotion do 5 rides get an extra $100 Bucks
@@postnutregret I haven't seen a two-hour promotional drive. Unless in the last two hours, he finalizes the quest of 50 with a few leftover rides and closes the bonus. Or it might be different in different cities out of my knowledge. Nevertheless, the frenzy of Social Media titling and presenting is most of the time very misleading and unviable.
Never take 6 passengers in a vehicle with less than 6 seatbelts. You can get a ticket.
Who TF gets in the front seat of their Uber lol
I use to uber before covid and if it was a single rider more then half jumped in the front seat
Weird as F

Great video overall have you tried downloading apps like play well to make money while you're just chilling
I've never heard of that but it looks ridiculously sketchy lol. I normally respond to emails or youtube comments if there's downtime though
@@GoHerping yes it is indeed an interesting way to make money on the side as well because you are just trying all games for maybe 10 to 20 minutes and accumulating
I thought that was like a known no no in getting in the front seat. That seems awkward
Do you need special plates to do Uber in your state? In NYC you need special taxi plates to do Uber
no, you just need an Uber sticker and a paper on your windshield with your plate number if you're doing airport pickups
5:15 the infrared on her phone confused me for like 10 seconds
What's the rules on filming customers?
When you are trying to decide whether to accept a ride what is your per mile dollar amount your looking for?
If I'm doing a quest like in this video, pretty much ignore it and go for the shortest rides possible. when I don't have a quest, I shoot for about $1 a mile, sometimes a little less. Most people will say that isn't enough, but most trips around here are pretty long
Now Uber is trying to let you make $22/hr in LA with Tesla. You spent long hours of waiting time to make $700/ week in LA with Tesla. If you don’t mind taking UberX share ride, you mind make more money with Tesla. Don’t forget your insurance cost for Tesla. Even regular driving range will cost you staring from $3000. If you tell your insurance company you will use it commercially, it will start from $5000 just car insurance alone.
Where is this now man :(
You should explain to your audience that this offer 100 for 5 trips is ones a life is not ever day or every week
u can see me replying to all the comments saying that. i was a brand new driver at the time of filming, so i had no frame of reference
How’s possible ? Whats your uber rank. gold, plat or diamond ?
i still haven't gotten another quest offer like this one, my rank is blue at the moment but I think it was gold during this video
How in the world do you get quests like that?
i don't know lmao. been ubering for a full year now and never got a quest since this video, i assumed at the time that they were more common
What do you use for GPS?
Uber has a built in map, I assume it's just a version of google maps. but I often put the address into Tesla nav, if passengers want the car to drive itself to their destination
Your luck it take me 6 hours to make 150. Along with too many miles on my car.
What camera do you use to record???
the dashcam is a vantrue, handheld is a sony zv-1. they're linked in the description too :)
@@GoHerpingthank you where do you plug it in a Tesla?
@@Chipinitv it's just a usb c so it can go in and of the ports. though mine is plugged into the center console cigarette lighter so i have the other ones open for phones
Cool video alex!
Yay! I enjoy these videos.
Ahhh a front seat sitter! I didn’t know they existed still.
Edit: interesting take!
They arent wearing seatbelts!
Where is this
Where are you driving uber ?
raleigh nc
always hype when new video
TAKE OUT DEORECIATIKN ON YOUR CAR, MAINTAINENCE, GAS, INSURANCE.
YOU ARENT.MAKING SHIT.
UBER IS UNSUSTAINABLE.
the US has a 62.5 cent tax deduction per mile, that covers pretty much every vehicle's gas/maintenance, unless you're using a supercar
I hate when people try to sit in my front seat.. no sir, get in the back
I bet it's annoying explaining how to open the doors every single time.
How I never get that kind of quest ???
its been half a year and I haven't gotten any other quests since! No idea why I got this one
I have been doing Uber over 5 years I had some rude n drunk n smelly n friendly customers! I do Uber n Lyft on the side
The constant struggle for people to understand his car 😂
Lmaoo ...I work on these cars and customers still don't know how to use them
unfortunately, they dont have quest like this or them at all in Indiana 😩
i never got a quest like this again sadly
Yea those quest back in the day were lit!
Yeah, but what do you make the rest of the time?
usually i make $150-175 a night in 5-6 hours if i do college campuses. but since students are on break, im making more like 20/hr
*blonk twice, mouths halp *
Hi bro where are you doing uber?
central NC
They must have not had anybody to drive for Uber in that area so they needed to provide a heavy incentive hence those kind of promotions. I’m in So Calif but east of Los Angeles and I have never seen those kind of offers. It’s usually $15 for 20 trips which is a joke. I have heard from veteran Uber drivers that the promotions USED to be good. But these rideshare companies are practically bleeding money trying to survive. Awesome deal for you tho. 🎉
As a chick, anyone tries to get in my passenger seat…. They will be quickly redirected to the back seat. No way….
makes sense. i do appreciate when passengers ask the driver where they should sit, regardless of the driver's preference
