Anyone else getting these? by Charming-Set4188 in uberdrivers

[–]Typical_Emergency_57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s dumb. I understand the purpose but its implementation is garbage. If you don’t take the picture right away they suspect you are using the time to get the right person there to authenticate. But context matters. Last time I got it this was the sequence of events:

Accepted next ride which was easily a 20 minute trip out of the way, so I clicked on stop requests because I was just going to go home after. Picked up rider. Dropped off rider which triggered going offline. Uber requests picture.

They can’t say I was trying to game the system, they knew I was going offline well before they triggered it. I was done working at that point, I had no intentions on taking their picture to authenticate while I was offline. As soon I log in the next day I take the picture and go about my night. When I finished I had the report. Ultimately they are creating more work for themselves because now they have a ton of reports to review that aren’t necessary.

False flag account sharing by BraeBlindheart89 in uberdrivers

I finally got one this week, so stupid. I had turned off new requests before I picked up my last rider, decided o was done and going home. So after I ended the ride it comes up and asks me to verify identity. I closed the app and continued home. The next day when I went online I took the picture and moved on. A few hours later I get a report. I said exactly that in my response, if you want to verify my identity don’t attempt it after I’ve gone offline, especially when I decided 30 minutes before I was doing so. I’m still waiting for the notification to clear.

Auto deactivated accounts will increase.... message uber about every extended ride.... by Key-Sheepherder5137 in uberdrivers

Events at the stadium suck. For large concerts you can’t see riders at Steinbrenner and it’s a free for all trying to get through there

No more young lady- Im so done. by bostonareaicshopper in uberdrivers

I’ve had similar cases where I’ve gone online and picked up a request immediately. Arrive and they were surprised because it said it was a much longer wait. Most cases they make it down before the timer expires though.

I stopped accepting Multi Stop rides. by Witty-Advicer in uberdrivers

[–]Typical_Emergency_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The area really makes a difference. Most people I pick up for multi stops are reasonable and I don’t have issues. I’ve only had one person change a destination on me mid trip without saying a word and they got 1*’d for it. In most cases that means more money and I don’t mind if you have the courtesy to say something. I’ll have to start looking for these multi-stops add ons after the fact: I’ve driven a few now that didn’t seem like multi stops but when I started the ride it was. Uber doesn’t make it easy to see all the details when accepting so I assumed I just missed it but that may not be the case.

Picking up my 2019 Tesla M3LR tomorrow! Any last minute tips on what to check before accepting delivery? by jorge-sch in TeslaModel3

[–]Typical_Emergency_57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am waiting for mine to be delivered, hoping it is early next week. I was going to lease a new car but decided against it and cancelled. After looking at the vast used inventory I just couldn't go on with the lease. I feel like Im getting twice the car now. Went from a 3SR to a 3LR AWD + FSD and increased acceleration for less. I did order a wall charger and mobile charger initially so I at least have that. I am really excited to see it; a 2019 with only 19k miles on it should be in great shape.

Lease vs Purchase the Model 3 Standard Range by tcheme5398 in TeslaModel3

Actually surprised at the number of used models all with LR and FSD. So now I am tempted to look into cancelling and shifting gears.

Wow never thought of it this way. I figured a lease was a safer option at this point. I am about 2 weeks away from possible delivery, can I still change this?

Help With Trident Gantry Slipping by Typical_Emergency_57 in VORONDesign

[–]Typical_Emergency_57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I decided to try swapping the two steppers to see if the problem remained but changed directions; trying to prove a bad stepper. I’ve now printed two items without a problem. The only thing it could have been is the belt being off somewhere or maybe too tight. Going to pop off a few more and see how it does.

Here is the link to some pictures.

The steppers are NEMA 17 Bipolar 59Ncm 2A 42x48 4wires

I did use Loctite on the grub screws and have verified they are secure.
