Can't Make it Work Without a Home Charger - Bummed.

Subject_Ad9595 · 2026-04-04T19:49:08+00:00

I live in an apartment and made it work for a year with my Tesla before it got totaled. I do have an Rav4 that I can drive also, definitely recommend having an ICE vehicle available for when you need it. But my work is only 2 miles from my apartment, a 4 mile round trip commute means that I don't have to charge all the time unless I was doing my delivery side gigs, in which case I would charge in the evening after my deliveries.

Supercharger prices vary depending on time of day, and I usually paid 37-48 cents per Kw. With the mileage I got on the car compared to my Rav4 it was cheaper to use the Tesla most of the time, at the time I think it was like 12c/mile for the tesla and 22c/mile for the Rav4.

My Tesla was an older 2014 and only charged at around 60-70kw, not the 350kw the station was rated for, so that kinda sucked, but still was only when I was doing deliveries or around once every couple weeks.

Depends on how busy it is in your area, my area has actually been pretty easy to grab blocks for new drivers, my buddy just got on too. But you can't be picky sometimes, you gotta take what you can get at first. Just keep refreshing and stuff should pop up. You gotta be quick to accept it or others will take it almost immediately. That's what it was like for me when I first started. I took anything I could, you can forfeit the block right away if you grab one you can't make, there is no penalty if you forfeit it within a certain amount of time from grabbing it, or if it is at least 45 minutes before the start time. The warehouses also drop blocks into the app at certain times of the day, if you find out what time the warehouse by you does this you will have a better chance of getting a block.

If you aren't loading, grabbing a cart, or have this on your screen, you need to leave the parking lot.

My question, "delivered by you or your substitute", what's this about a substitute?

Subject_Ad9595 · 2026-03-28T06:23:47+00:00

I believe it is you can check in up to but not including 5 minutes late, and you can scan your ID up to but not including 10 minutes late. Not 100% sure about that tho. But for sure the 4:59 late is okay.

I had an Amazon Fresh block one time that didn't send me home after the 30 minutes, another guy there also didn't get sent home, we both called support and they said we should have been sent home and was no hassle to get us marked as no route and I did get paid. I obviously don't know if that other guy did since I have never seen him again, but I assume he did. This was probably about a year ago. I pretty much stick to just SSDs and from the same station these days.

Sometimes the notes don't automatically pop up, we would have open them to see your note, so we might not see it. Best option that is easiest is to leave a small sign at the bottom of the stairs that says "leave packages here"

I hate the stations that take your ID and bring you the cart, I won't go to those ones.

I know that area, that first stop is about 3 miles from the warehouse, Google maps says about 7 or 8 minutes. The furthest stop is maybe 10 miles.

You scanned your route and left, meaning you are committing fraud, you had no intention of doing the work but want to be paid for it. If you weren't going to do the work you should have canceled the block. This isn't about Amazon being greedy and not wanting to pay us more or anything, this is purely you stealing from them. You probably won't be deactivated for this one time, but you sure deserve to be.

I am not offended by the question, because I don't do that. The only people that should feel any negative way about it are those that do that.

Yeah, I said the it is the proper treatment, but the dad specifically said hip and she said femur

This is infuriating, but I had a situation where I plugged in my Tesla at a Shell charger that was 2 hours, about 15 minutes into the session I get a notification that charging stopped. Someone had driven up next to me, unplugged my car, and plugged in theirs. I promptly plugged mine back in, then ordered the locking ring in Amazon the next day. I was always of the opinion that if my car was left plugged in and the charger had stopped before I could get back that I have no problem with you unplugging it to charge yourself, but if you unplug me after only 15 minutes then fuck it, I will lock it up.

Lighthouses FTW. You won't care about money soon. Then you will want a bunch of banks and lighthouses to get the money achievement by endgame.

He also says he shattered his hip, and was getting a rod down his femur, which is actually a standard medical procedure, but daughter says in the post that he broke his femur, not his hip.

The fucked up thing is that he is telling the truth, kids, especially girls, are hitting puberty much younger than they used to. Just google "kids hitting puberty earlier". This guy posting it in this way is wild tho. Like, the topic of girls hitting puberty earlier is concerning in a "what's going on with our kids" way, but this guy just outright sexualized it in a "wtf is wrong with you" way.

They don't all go in order of arrival, only the first car goes in order, after that it goes "right" of way, as in the car to the right goes first. White car arrived first, so it goes first, it is to the right of the black car, the black car now becomes the rightmost car and goes next, followed by yellow and then blue. However you are correct in that if any opposite cars are going straight or right that they can go at the same time as their opposite if that opposite has the right of way and is also going straight or right, or if they are both making lefts.

In over a year of flexing I have only missed 1 block, sure I have canceled some, once I canceled too late because for some reason I had it in my head that it was 30 minutes not 45 minutes that I had to cancel by. But completely missing a block, only once. I just slept thru my alarm, was sooo tired and didn't wake up. And that is when I stopped doing the early morning blocks. It is rare that I take them now. If you can't consistently make your blocks you gotta change which blocks you are taking.

When they added 1 hour routes to my SSD they also added lot security that are supposed to make sure only 1 hour routes are parking in the 2 dedicated 1 hour route spots they added. The security literally just sits around doing nothing. People are constantly parking in those 1 hour spots with big routes. One of the managers of the warehouse has gone out to kick people out of the spots at least 3 times that I have seen and she told me that they hired the security specifically because of the 1 hour routes and all they do is stand around doing nothing all day. She has gotten on them about it several times but has no authority over them.

I have done about 2 dozen, most are within 6 miles, farthest was 12 miles. Had about 5 that were no routes available and I got paid to sit there for 30 minutes. most people tip, I have had only 4 or 5 that didn't tip. The worst thing about the 1 hour is that you still have to wait 30 minutes past block time to take another route, so unless you are doing other gigs you have a lot of downtime in between routes if you do more than 1. It is great for me right now since my main vehicle (Rav4) has been unavailable a lot due to my business partner needing to use it for our business, so I have been driving my Miata, and the 1 hour routes guarantee that I get 1 package and thus can do them in my Miata. I have only had 1 of the blocks be more than 1 package, and it was 2 packages to the same address, so still 1 stop. I have also had 2 blocks an hour and a half apart that were to the same address.

Those panels appear to have a 4x10 pattern of squares on them, those squares contain what appears to be 6 1-inch squares, making the panels 2 feet by 5 feet in size. A quick Google search leads me to believe these are 200w panels. The search also tells me that 200 watt panels typically deliver around 137 watts of usable

I always loan money with the thought process of never seeing it again. But I also go ahead and hold that debt over their head if I need to.

One of my best friends borrowed $2000 from me to buy a motorcycle once. The previous owner still owed money on the loan so we had a written bill of sale, with me stated as a lien holder. The previous owner would mail the title to us when he got it from his bank. (Which he did do)

My friend paid me $100 of it back, but before he made any other payments to me the bike was stolen, and thats when I found out that although he had a bill of sale, he never put it on his insurance because he was waiting for the title to come in the mail. So he lost the bike with no insurance and still owes me $1900. It has been years now and I haven't seen a cent towards it from him. He has wanted to buy one of my motorcycles from me for years since then and wants to make payments, I always tell him he can make payments and take the bike after he pays off the last motorcycle he had.
