- I know plenty of you have been asking for a courier app video, here it is!
I run a couple more apps that I didn’t get calls for on this day otherwise they would’ve made the video, but managed to snag a good amount so hopefully this video you find mildly entertaining.
Thanks again for tuning in..hard to believe we’re above 2000 subscribers. Insane.
Be sure to subscribe as we’re getting back to the bigger adventures very soon.

Real world documentary of SOLO performing as a delivery vehicle. Very well done!
I tried to capture the essence! Appreciate you man, hope all is going well with your SOLO
There was so much going on in this video: you explained how these delivery services work, you demonstrated how the Solo serves as a delivery vehicle, you showed how efficient an electric car can be in doing this work and you showed what kind of money can be made. Extremely well-done!
Well thanks for making my day! Appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video :)
I always thought that Solo might be the perfect food delivery vehicle.
In the city centers here we have an increasing number of food delivering cyclists (with a styrofoam box strapped to their back) which have an unbeatable price for the distance they make, and are quickes too, but outside the centers the bicycle is not a feasable option.
In any case, not an easy job I guess. Thanks for having taken us for this virtual delivery ride!
I’ve often thought about buying a foldable electric bike or scooter and doing some of those cyclist Doordash/UE runs and then jumping into the solo if need be for a further call..would keep me busy that’s for sure haha
Thanks for watching bud
Death Stranding
This channel is way better than Netflix. It holds my attention. Thanks
Hahah thanks! Pretty high praise
Love it - great vlog!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback friend!
I think this is your best video so far. True-to-life with good data (like Instacart). I keep thinking about doing food deliveries locally, and you have given me a good picture of how that would work. Great that you did all that and still have a lot of the morning left!
Glad you enjoyed it! Was a bit of a juggle but I’m pretty happy with the outcome of this video as well, appreciate the feedback, thank you! :)
I love it!!! It's like hanging out with you for the morning!! Love you
❤️
Your channel as a whole is invaluable. What you've been uploading is a rarity in this day and age: Real, unfiltered and unbiased user experiences with a very new product that has little to no information about it available anywhere else. I've never heard of this car until I ran into your channel. Now, I'm planning to fly over to Arizona and go test drive one of these sometime in the future. Most of the questions I had about the car have been answered thanks to your videos.
Hopefully the car doesn't end up disappointing you in the end and continues to provide rather interesting adventures for viewers like me to enjoy watching in the future.
Immensely grateful for your kind comment, thank you.
That’s awesome you’re making plans to go check one out for yourself and the idea that any unanswered questions you may have had were answered by me on my channel puts a genuine smile on my face. Wishing you the best in the future :)
We saw you driving on Lindsay and main today! So cool! Watching all your future videos keep it up!
Right on! Hopefully I’ll have a fresh video by the end of the week!
Was on Indian School yesterday and saw a red AND yellow one - They pulled into a car wash! Very Cool!
Ooooo very nice probably had a wrap on it
Cheers from Taiwan! No Solo here yet, so I'm buying stock. Will cash out the stock and buy one of those critters when I get back to the States. Thanks for the videos, steady watching!
Awesome! Cool to see Taiwans Microprocessing plants moving here to AZ as well :)
Thank you. Excellent video and very informative.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for following up and making this content. I think there's even more potential for this in high-density areas with limited parking. Insurance must be very cheap, also. I'm honestly surprised more restaurant chains haven't purchased these for small delivery fleets and wrapped the cars with their branding/logos...or even Door Dash or Uber Eats having some actual full-time employees driving these. Anyways keep up the good work, loving the vids.
Would definitely be neat to see something come to fruition between EM and these delivery services
Insurance is affordable but could definitely be cheaper, maybe as the solo becomes less of an anomaly and more common amongst drivers then those premiums will come down a bit though..
Took me three days to find an insurance company that would actually insure the solo finally settling on progressive lol
Also thanks for leaving good feedback :)
@@awwki As an investor, your content is extremely valuable. Hope you get a job with EM in some fashion - you're experience, relatability, and attitude seem like a perfect fit for someone managing EM fleets with Door Dash or Uber, etc. Hope you get some time to turn the apps off and just enjoy your ride!
Good stuff making some money on the side . Hope you make a good profit with it being an electric car.
Certainly make pretty good margins with the SOLO for sure :)
thanks for watchin
Great video, it shows the effort you put into this dashing around. Nice confirmation on the mileage, about 1.05% per mile with A/C, I guess.
Glad you are making it work for you!
Thanks, hopefully it gave a pretty good representation of the solos inner-city capabilities 👍
If I lived in a bigger city I would totally get one of these potentially, lov the vids my man, keep them coming
Thanks buddy means a lot. :)
This was great and educational
Happy it was helpful for you :)
Amazing 👍
Thanks 😎👍
Ok the “stopped up” comments in your video were LOL
Heheheh
Thanks for the video! Great one!
Thanks for watching it! :) I appreciate you!
I live in this same area and swear I have seen you driving by before. I dash primarily on my motorcycle on the side, awesome finding your channel. You got a sub
I’m sure you’ve seen me around it’s likely!
And thanks for subbing bud I appreciate you, be safe out there
Me and my husband just saw you driving on Guadalupe and I looked this up! Such an awesome car!!
Thanks for checking out the channel!! :)
dude you have to pitch your services to a liquor store or smoke shop. impressive ambition, my best delivery gigs were working for the restaurant directly; you can get fed most of the time but mop up and clean. anyway, way to hustle man, keep it up!
That would be sweet, we have a few smoke shops I would consider no doubt
Also, thanks for watching!
white case actually helps with phone heating situtation
I’ll have to invest in one for sure
ok so its been a while since i made my comment. looks like it is doing good! you got me thinking about it more
Right on 😎
It’s difficult to tell from the videos if the glass in your Solo is tinted and to what degree. A reasonable shade of quality tinting may make a significant contribution to lowering cabin temperature. Unloading the AC to some degree could positively impact your mileage. Just a thought considering you are in the SW. Cheers 🍻
I definitely need to get around to having it tinted I just haven’t yet hahah
Thanks for stopping by and watchin bud I appreciate you
Fantastic on-the-street market research! Could this be the role the Solo was "born to play"? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the difference between the Solo & the average ICE delivery vehicle in this role (something like a Toyota Corolla?) regarding costs per hour & per mile, time to park & deliver, reliability & operation limitations, refueling issues, & an overall summary.
Dual use as both personal transportation and part-time delivery could be a particularly efficient sweet spot, if the Solo can satisfy each role well enough. Good work, thanks & regards! o/
Well when comparing it to my last 2016 Ford fiesta the first thing I feel is mention worthy is the fuel saved however there definitely is major benefit to being able to fill up the gas tank immediately if you anticipate having to use more than 100 miles to complete your day of deliveries.
Lots more I could spout off about but you’re right that may be a good question for a Q&A video in the future!
Thanks for watching and leaving some feedback :)
@@awwki Awwk-some,! ;)
Love it! Great job
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
you rock bro keep them coming
Hey thanks! Will do 👍
Side Gig Husseling FTW!
Not a bad way of life no doubt!
I saw you in the little car! Omg nice car I was in the bus😧
Hahaha that’s awesome! Thanks for checking out the channel
@@awwki Np I just saw the YT logo so I looked it up so yeah no problem
Dude, That was great intell , This is what I do and thats why I want a Solo > remember man NO TIP NO TRIP !!!! and there's always the roof rack option to carry more , thank's
Sometimes on my days off with no tip orders I will accept them and let them sit there for 10 minutes so I can unassign 😂
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Having spent a month delivering newspapers in my 1966 Cadillac, and losing a few bucks in the process of working 7 days a week, I can assure you that you have a much better vehicle for that type of work.
Bet that Cadillac was a real smooth ride though 👍
We are waiting for your new video 🙂
Just waiting for this weather to give me a break and also for some fresh ideas to enter the noggin
IF I EVER COME INTO SOME MOOLA ,I WANNA CRUISE ONE OF THESE IN FLORIDA so fricken cool I want one
Hell yeah you should 😎
I'm glad you thanked Siri. We've got to make sure there are archival videos of us being kind to AI for the android uprising.
And that's for keeping up w/ info on the SOLO.
Hahahaha exactly bro I’m trying to be one of the humans spared so I can be shown in a zoo exhibit one day
And thanks for watching bud
@@awwki looking forward to being in the human display next to you.
I'm sure this video will go viral!!
That would be nuts
@@awwki You deserve it!
Awe awesome dude.
Good to see you scuba, be safe out there
@@awwki that was amazing seeing you put a whole shopping cart of groceries in your solo.
0:18 Who wants Burger King at 6:30 in the morning?
Hahah they serve breakfast and it isn’t half bad actually!
I’m kinda trashy though so I’m biased lol
you got ac don't you. what is your charger like at home
Yes I do, the charger goes right into the wall 110 outlet.
Takes like ~ 10 1/2 hours for 0-100% I just plug up when I get home/overnight usually only let it charge to around ~80-85% though for longevity on the battery
@@awwki hi if uve got AC I think u mention phone getting hot .. chers
@@sunsetlights100 between the 5 apps running and the shooting of a video the phone was already hot not to mention the sun shining through the car onto the phone is unavoidable so unless I take breaks to hold the phone in front of the vent it overheats. Just Arizona stuff lol
i've been delivery driving in a nissan leaf for over 2 years now, short range EV's are the best vehicle to do this kinda stuff in!
I actually met you a while ago at DT Gilbert, if you would like i could 3d print some cupholders for you? I'd need to get measurements for where they mount
Those Nissan leafs are dependable!
And that would be pretty cool dude, I’ll have to grab some measurements and get back to you :)
Very nice, I been considering doordash thanks for the hands on visuals!
BTW did you get a recall letter from MECCA? I set an appt for 8/8 so they could inspect the lights. Im also doing a 1,000 mile maintenance. I love the car so far I get so much attention where I live it's crazy I almost feel like what famous people feel like when they get their pictures taken of or get asked questions lol .. it happens everytime I go out
P.S. I Highly recommend you get tint on all your windows! It will reduce the heat in your cabin and help your eyes from the bright sun! I got 3M tint! It's worth it! It makes the Solo look cooler!
I did get the recall for the blinker concern they got that completed with my last maintenance I just had done.(think it was a quick software update)
What color did you end up getting? :)
11:47 mark $3.89 a mile? huh
Yep! Numbers came out nice that day
I gotta get one of those for me pizza delivery job
Perfect for it
Hey man started watching your videos and I’m so tempted to buy a solo. Overall would you recommend it? I’m in az too and I can’t find any cars in a practical price range. Everything is 25k or higher. I’m only 20 so my budget is tight. I spend 3k annually in gas so ev is very tempting. I’ve invested in solo since the start and I’m really hoping in the near future I can head out to fashion square and test drive one myself.
I would recommend one of course but I’m biased!
Don’t need to head to fashion square for a test drive just go to their website :)
I’m way happy with my purchase
Nice vid
Thanks bud
I am wondering if a pizza box will fit in the back without tilting it.
I have delivered hundreds of pizzas in this thing haha perfect size for it.
I like the car man. Do you have confidence that this company will make it?
I do have faith that this company will make it.
InterMeccanica is going strong as well
I always tip. No excuse.
Grateful for people like you! :)
If you can't afford a tip go get it yourself!
If they can't afford a tip they should make their meals at home.
I don’t expect a tip.
However it would be nice to see these courier platforms pay a bit more for base pay
@@awwki a friend of mine used to do Uber and Lyft and I was surprised at how much the platforms take considering how little they actually do for you. Glad you're making some money.
@@justinhaller2055 yeah it’s weird they treat “tips” more like “bids”..strange process
We are still waiting for your new video
Unexpected delay, the shorts will have to suffice until this coming weekend :(
Craigslist mechanic---- i quit....after 9 years......today....
Nice! You’ll always carry the skills with you 👍
Loving my solo! Is there a way to install a flag in the back?
I’m sure there is but I haven’t tried!
I drive a fiat 500e EV. It's perfect for delivering
How do you like it?
@@awwki it's amazing how much you can actually fit in it. It has a second row of seats and with it down its plenty of space. I also do caterings so I don't have a problem fitting catering bags in there. It's fast and easy to park. The small size allows me to zip through traffic if I need to. I call it the yellow light smasher
Interesting video. Yeah, many people on YT say this EV is good for delivery-type gigs... Also, your dash shows battery % remaining, but it doesn't show "estimated range," like other EVs?
No the estimated range gauge would be a bit redundant as the expected range is 1% to 1 mile for 100 miles to the charge.
But then what happens when your battery eventually slowly degrades, so then 1% would mean, say, 0.8 mile.. etc... I guess you'll have to figure out your range accordingly then...
Even though Electrica Meccanica promotes the Solo as a delivery vehicle. I never considered using is for door dash or Uber eats. Was this a typical day for you when running these deliveries? If so, you could earn a decent income using the Solo this way.
Yea pretty standard day here :)
Can you do a video showing how much percentage you lose on a 5-10 mile drive? Maybe have half highway and half city street. Just curious how much you lose. I just watched a video of a guy who had 80% and drove 1.3 miles and lost 2% charge. Based on that number that seems closer to 50 miles range and not the 100 miles they state.
Yeah I’ve been planning on doing one, I’ve been noticing about 80 miles freeway to the charge and still 100 miles on city so we’ll see
Does the solo have A/C ? Great video I am interested on a solo
It sure does!
Hey, love the videos! I just got my SOLO delivered yesterday, and shopping for insurance - what company did you get your policy from?
Progressive!
Enjoy your solo!
How is your Solo battery handling the Phoenix heat?
So far so good!
Hey I saw u this day at 3 30
Nice! Be safe out there
Hey I saw your car today
Nice!
How did you get the uber eats to accept your car? Unable to locate option in Uber eats 😔.
Gonna have to call it in
Did you pay this off in one go? monthly? credit or what? I might actually get one dude
I paid cash
@@awwki wow ok! yeah, i am not at that level yet
What kind of phone do you film on? I know lots of channels that I watch use iPhone. Some sound and look like they were filmed in a potato some look and sound amazing.
iPhone XR
@@awwki nice love some good not potato quality lol. Great work as always on the video. Love the solo content. I can't way to eventually get one.
Did your vehicle get recalled as well?
Yes I took the buyback offer ;(
Genius well until you can't find a cheap charging station.
..my house?? Lol
@@awwki well perfect lol
What does your solo run you monthly?
I don’t have a payment just bought it out right
Is ubereats the least popular app?
I would say GrubHub is the least popular app at least in my area. Uber eats just seems to give out the lowest offers but some days it’s the only app that wants to feed me
@@awwki I’m thinking of starting a delivery service in the Tempe,Az area as a test market. Exclusively with solos and hired drivers instead of gig workers. Flat delivery charges and minimums on orders
do you need a driver's license for that just curious
Yes :)
you hustle around, you can make some money on a cheap operating cost vehicle.
if only you could find charging while your shopping.
you'd waste less time.
100 miles is plenty for me to work and shop and still make it home to charge :)
100 miles is plenty for me to work and shop and still make it home to charge :)
The video is only you complaining lol nothing about the car
Lol “complaining”
