For anyone wanting to earn some extra money while driving...

Even better, you get T-boned at an intersection and the police report says you've got a few take out orders and you were driving for a delivery service while you're being rushed off to hospital and getting your claims denied.

So what the additional cost of insurrance you will get for transporting goods, not passengers?

Note: You also need to consider the additional mileage that you will get, if you have a car lease,
or if you car insurrance is based on your mileage.

Business / commercial coverage. It isn’t much more, I think my wife pays $18 more a month. Our lawyer & CPA suggested it if she was going to write off biz miles. It wasn’t for food delivery, she had multiple offices.

IMO, Uber is a scam to take advantage of people that don't have other work. No benefits, you pay taxes later on that reduce what appears to be fair money, and your car gets chewed up meanwhile Uber takes half for doing not much of anything but provide a web service. At least a real taxi company maintains the vehicles and buys fuel so you aren't out your own personal assets. I wish I would have thought of it.

Uber operates at a loss. The people who work for Uber corporate has a minimum salary of around $75,000 per year.

Middle management makes over $200,000.

This is before generous fringe benefit packages.

I don’t think any of those employees are compensation sharing with the drivers despite probably being very socialistic given geography.

Despite the pay disparity, many are grateful for the opportunity to work through Uber and no one is forced to work for the service.

It's usually based on risk and mileage, like normal premiums. Using the vehicle for work changes the risk profile, so you're typically put in a different risk pool.

Transporting goods has low probability of being caught and high probability of plausible deniability in the event of any incidents.

Model 3 is not leased. All insurance accounts for miles but the relationship between premium and miles driven is not linear.

With free supercharging, unlimited, or even 6 months you can generate income if your opportunity cost is low.

I just can't imagine doing Uber or Lyft with Teslas.

$100 for 6 hours? I would rather rest and sleep.

I guess everyone is different.

We overlook a concert venue. When a concert lets out, I can see the traffic and open up the app to see if there's a surge. If the conditions are right, I can make $150 in one ride by picking someone up after a concert and taking them downtown. $150 for a 45 mile round-trip drive (less than an hour) works for me!

You're better off doing Amazon Flex if you have one close. Because of the door handles I do not recommend doing Uber/Lyft.

Amazon Flex is currently in waitlist status. If anybody were to try and join and try to work right away, it won't be happening.

Most people are pretty stoked to see a Tesla delivering their food lol.

Most people probably don't notice the car you drive up in, I know I don't. Also, I can hear the comments after you leave ... "He probably has to do this so he can afford that car ..."
