    Being that you bought the Tesla with a loan from a showroom, were you able to use the purchase price for tax deductions? I know vehicle rentals you can use as a tax deduction, not sure about loans so just curious.
    Are you using multiple apps and is your £20 an hour during peak hours or have you been able to hit that during quiet hours too?

    • @cristiandorultan
      @cristiandorultan  5 років тому +3

      Yes , you're able to use as tax deductions, I believe it's 100% tax deductible because it's electric. I only work with uber at the moment. I do on average £20 /hour on pick time more . But the target it's £1000/ week over 50 h.

      Its not 100% deductable. Only the interest is deductable. Dont get yourself a massive bill from hmrc in a few years when they find out.

    Cristian bru.... u made a nice video... lots of helpful info... I have 1 doubt to ask u... considering the running cost of tesla and Citreon ( lets say for example u were also paying towards the finance for 5 years for both the cars) .. what is the cost of both the cars individually ( finance, fuel and insurance for a month )....are they more or less same? Minus the congestion and the service charges? ( this is what I'll be saving on tesla )
    Your reply would be helpful to understand the things better. Thanks very much in advance mate... u have a good one!!

    Do you have to ensure the car with PCO in mind or normal insurance will do fine? Asking as I'm totally confused, I have spoken to some Uber drivers and they don't know anything more than I know about the insurance!!! I believe it must be some sort of private-car insurance type of thing as opposed to normal personal insurance... right?

      Hi Fasil, Tesla model 3 it's a great car one of the best but unfortunately the price tag that you can buy a good one today it's close to £55.000 and that's close to a used model X which it's mach better choice. Have a look on Tesla website on used vehicles and see options come with same warranty as a new Tesla X or S .

      I believe it's a bad idea, having a home charger it's really make a difference on savings time. If you don't have a parking (to install a wall charger) or place to plug your car overnight to charge up then it's not very helpful.

    Your making between £11 and £14 per hour. That's assuming your driving 50 hours a week. The biggest expense is the cost of the car. Take a few weeks off and you've got no income but the cost of that car keeps ticking away. It's basically a rusting heap of metal sitting in your driveway that eventually is going to zero. In the meantime, you have to keep driving and earning revenue to off set the cost of rust.

      Hi Samir,
      1 Uber accept you as uber x with Tesla s but after you active over 1000 trips and and your raining it's over 4.90 you may get a chance to become executive. But I highly recommend to start renting a car on beginning to see if you enjoy driving for Uber and after buy yourself a Tesla (it's a expensive purchase)
      2. Insurance it's expensive on the first year so it my be over £3000 but in time it's getting cheaper and they are many insurance options out there.
      3. Yes that's why I recommend to go on finance with black horse it's from tesla website and they not require any mileage gap or purpose for using your Tesla.
      If you need a referral code for uber use mayne (CRISTIAND1001UE)
      I make great money driving with Uber and I think you'd love it too. Get details: partners.uber.com/i/828kkjvac
      If you have more questions let me know.
      BTW if you use my Uber referral code you get £200

    50 Hours = £1000
    (Roughly on a GOOD week)
    Income:
    £1000
    Costs Per Week:
    Fuel £50
    Your insurance you paid for a Citroen for most of the year and paid £1100 to insure for the remainder months for a Tesla.
    During those Citroen months, you was not paying a Tesla insurance cost. And the additional £1100 you paid to insure Tesla was based on the next few months of insurance.
    Therefore it does not cost £3500 to insure a Tesla for 12months.
    So a reasonable estimate is probably around £5000.
    So that is £100 a week if you get a good deal.
    Model X Car Payment: £260
    Maintenance and licensing and taxing = £25 per week.
    260+25+100+50= £435.
    £1000-£435 = Around £10-£11 PH before tax.
    Overall 50hrs £9-£11ph driving a Tesla Model X is not bad at all.
    Plus if you sell car within a couple years then effectively you only would have been paying for Interest+Depreciation which may be lower than the car payment amount.
    NOT BAD AT ALL!
