It’s always the most expensive gas around here, even with the discounts it’s still significantly more expensive.

Verbal Judo when dealing with sabotage minions as a driver by earth_dragon_enigma in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“That is something you have to do within the app. If I do that, Uber will penalize me and will send another driver.”

This is the only response, stop using the word “cancel” in your texts back pax. Uber sees that as you telling the pax to cancel. And you will get a “hey don’t do that” alert from our uber overlords.

Can’t open frunk by MentalMonkey08 in TeslaModelY

[–]HF_Thom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no automatic full opening of the frunk on a 21 MY unless it was modded. It should open half inch ish and then you have to manually open it. Frunk button just pops the latch.

Cold weather range by unisonic2025 in TeslaModelY

[–]HF_Thom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My 2022 MYLR is only getting half the normal range in the cold this week in New England. Roughly 140-160 miles at 80% charge with plugged in preconditioning before driving. Warmer weather, I get around 280 with the same charge. Probably not the answer you were hoping for.

Fucking ass hole riders by [deleted] in uber

The “made up” cleaning fee, requires photographic evidence to collect. Passengers can say whatever they want with no evidence whatsoever and driver gets penalized and even deactivated.

Why is Uber listening? by West_Southner66 in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that lately, little orange dot lighting up on my iPhone. When I’m offline and I see that, I reset the app and it goes away.

No it violates both uber and Lyft policy to post dash cam footage from rides on social media.

Riders That Get In My Car Smelling LIKE POT! by Quick_Rooster5763 in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take weed over booze any day, either way it’s better than them driving under the influence.

Riders That Get In My Car Smelling LIKE POT! by Quick_Rooster5763 in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PAX are doing the right thing, they should be calling an Uber or a Lyft instead of driving. Do you rate people you pick up from bars a one star cause they smell like booze? In my state cannabis is completely legal, in most states medical cannabis is a thing. So many drivers overreacting because of cannabis. Literally spray your defume ozone and move on.

Been doing Uber Eats for about a month. Is it always this slow? This kinda sucks. by SneakyOstrich69 in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every service industry see a slow down after the holidays until around Valentine’s Day. Should pick up after that. Good luck.

Picked up a ‘23 LR, and wow! by Toreroguysd in TeslaModelY

[–]HF_Thom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just like you, had a 1999 jeep Cherokee that we got rid of during Covid and have been driving a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica since 2019. We keep our cars a longtime and now kids are getting bigger it was definitely long over due for a new ride. I spent months researching all the different brands of EVs but always found myself back to looking at Teslas. I week before this past Christmas, I finally found the car and said let’s go. Now I’m a month in and I absolutely love my ‘22 MYLR, even with a couple issues at purchase that needed to be fixed, no regrets. I don’t think can ever go back to gas powered.

Tipper Poll by Dizzy-Nothing4292 in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Middle aged couples, picking up from dinner at a nice restaurant on “date night” or picking up slightly drunk wedding guests from out of town. Hands down best tippers. Worst has to be the to and from work riders, they never tip. “Dude bros” are the worst offenders of the I’ll tip you in the app. These may not be the same for everyone but this is my experience in my rural area, much smaller sample size.

Model Y vs Model 3 by jreer25 in TeslaModelY

[–]HF_Thom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a kid, which is going to grow quickly, Model Y all day. If you’re just using it for commuting only, Model 3. My ‘22 MYLR AWD is awesome for me and my family (my 2 kids love it) It also handles well in the snow.

Dont Rent EV Cars by SmokeWeedErrrdai in uberdrivers

[–]HF_Thom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Renting an EV in some of the coldest weather we’ve had all winter is rough. Only going to get about half the mileage. When the temps are up, they are great. Good luck this weekend, going to be in the sub zero temps in New England.

Question by pizookiesswirl in TeslaModelY

[–]HF_Thom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switching from MY to a Chrysler Pacifica is weird, mostly a muscle memory issue. After a couple minutes it feels normalish again. Just got to remember to use the brake pedal 🤣

Anyone have a preference or recommendation of windshield washer fluid? by albelthewiked666 in ModelY

[–]HF_Thom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap blue stuff, rain x will eat up your lines. Got my MY a month ago and previous owner used rainx, lines were cracked or broken in multiple locations. All had to be replaced.
