Driver for Uber or Lyft with your Tesla?

Hey fellow TMC members -

Do you drive for Uber or Lyft with your Tesla? If so, do you do it full time? What are some wear and tear expectations I should have or protect against if I wanted to use my vehicle for such? Have a Model X but am thinking about getting a Model 3 or Y for ride share specifically.

Do you really earn more with Lyft Lux/ Lyft Black and such?
 
Depending on your location and time of day there can minimal accelerated wear to your vehicle, or a lot. I believe Uber and Lyft both require drivers to allow riders to have pets - big negative for me.

More $ is involved for both black cars and during peak pickup times but a lot of those peak times include drunk 19-year girls with a high probability of them getting sick in your car + the potential of interior trim damage.
 
Are rideshare or livery drivers allowed to use superchargers? Model Y owners must pay to use the network. Since it's not freeloading I'm wondering if it's still banned. Only found old articles from 2017 and 2018 about this topic online.
