I honestly haven’t even checked if it could do Uber Select or anything or even if it’s offered in my city. In all reality I’d LOVE a 2012-14 Tesla Model S, with the free supercharging. There are two or three stations in my city and I could drive people around for mostly free, instead of getting 15mpg... on the hottest days, my car only got 17-18 due to having to idle the engine constantly despite low demand... the Tesla is still $35-40K though, and I’m not into having a $1000 car payment, even if there are no fuel costs whatsoever...

I met a guy that truly drives full time (7 days a week) and he told me he’s killed two traction batteries in his G3 Prius... even grossing $1800 a week like he does I’d have issues swallowing a $2.5K battery replacement every year or less, hence my aversion to hybrid cars...

For what it’s worth I usually average 450-550miles per weekend, though that should go down a little when I get another day job to diversify my earnings portfolio
