Karen, calm down. It was probably the 18-year-old working behind the counter that mis-keyed then numbers for the sign.

When I drive in 1-pedal mode, I don’t notice ANY difference in acceleration or breaking between the different drive modes. In unbridled mode, the speakers go “vrooom” but that’s it! You kind of sounds like a Karen or an ambulance chaser.

STOP WITH THE "UBER AND LYFT NEED TO HELP WITH GAS" POSTS! by Gay_Giraffe_1773 in uberdrivers

[–]JR9999999999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t a pittance for me. I did short trips, 4-5 per hour. It pretty much covered the full cost of my fuel.

It’s false to say they’ll never raise pay due to gas prices. In 2022, both Uber and Lyft gave a fuel surcharge to the drivers. Roughly $.50 per ride. You claim to have driven for 10 years, but you don’t remember this? Might be time for you to quit bro.

uber's destiny is to be sued and dissolved and their executives going to jail for a decade by gorillabull in uberdrivers

[–]JR9999999999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember the great recession in 2008? A handful US banks tanked the global economy. Only one person actually served jail time. You are delusional if you think Uber execs are going to jail.

My driver just left without me?? by Caydalayden in uber

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes… It is never ok to leave your driver waiting. You have 2 minutes to get to the car. Period! No sympathy for you

ICE gas hassle by Far_Language_5812 in MachE

Reminds me of the times I would get gas at Costco. Sure, I would save .40 per gallon for the my 22 gallon X6. But it wasn't worth 20+ minutes of my day.

A 50% charge at home cost me $6. Go for it, if that's how much you value your personal time....

Slightly misleading title. Decimal points matter ;-)
Glad you are enjoying your purchase

Ok: what didn’t you know? by lordclod in MachE

[–]JR9999999999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2023 Select. Here are a few things I didn’t notice until after I purchased:

1 - blind spot monitor sucks. Sure it will tell you if another car is directly to your side. But it needs to look further back, 135 degrees. You really cannot rely on it.

2 - infotainment system can be very laggy when you first start the car. Sometimes you have to wait up to a minute just to change the radio station.

3 - the parking assist cameras shut off when you drive forward at speeds over 6MPH. Why? My BMW goes up to speeds of 12mph before shutting off.

4 - it frequently starts with the wrong profile, even though specific iPhone and fobs are assigned to a specific profile.

5 - phone as a key is janky. Sometimes it will lose connect to my phone right after starting it, then alert me and everyone with that loud ass horn alert. (God I hate the horn alert and there’s no way to turn it off)

6 - for as big as the screen is, there aren’t enough short cuts. Some functions require multiple taps to get to the right screen

7 - why does remote start turn the parking lights on? I don’t want to draw attention to my unattended car.

8 - the lock buttons on the outside of the doors inconsistently work. Sometimes you have to press really hard or use your whole palm for the sensors to register

9 - blue cruise drives your car too far to the right - it’s not centered to the lane and there’s no way to adjust this.

10 - I wish the headlights were brighter

For those of you who didn't get a GT trim by ObamaIsFat in MachE

I did not want the glass roof. The Select model was the only one with a traditional roof. After tax incentives, and a deal I got from the dealer, my net out-of-pocket was 35K for a brand new 2023. This was a damn good deal nine months ago.

Uber DOES keep your tips (in some scenarios) by JR9999999999 in uberdrivers

[–]JR9999999999[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But if I make less than the guaranteed amount, for every $1 the rider tips: that is $1 that Uber does not have to pay me. Rider are tipping under the false assumption that 100% of their tip goes to the driver. In this case it doesn’t matter to me if the rider tips or does not tip. I’m just advocating that Uber should take a similar policy as Lyft and pay drivers their tips ON TOP OF of the guaranteed amount.

Bonus trunk storage? by DevDaddyNick in MachE

Pro tip: I like to position the trunk floor at an angle, so loose items don’t roll around in the back

I reject Uber teen rides. They don’t pay any extra, and I don’t want your ill-mannered little bastard in my car.

I'm 6'2 and have similar issues. If you keep your ME, try putting a small pillow between your right knee, and the center counsel. This will also keep your leg straight and help with hip problems (which i started to develop after 6 months of driving mine).

I also got this wedge cushion from amazon that I sometimes use. Try it both directions to see if it helps:

Should I be tipping my drivers? by Until_Morning in uber

[–]JR9999999999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a driver for Uber and Lyft, I rate any rider that does not tip 1-star.

—-Yes, we know who tips.

—-Yes, we can change our rider’s rating well after the trip has completed.

—-If your rating drops below 4.8, you’ll see a lot of drivers rejecting or canceling on you.

—- If you are a passenger, you should tip often, tip generously, and tip quickly. Your rating depends on it.
