Use supported gig platforms

Use supported services such as Uber, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Amazon Flex, and Instacart when demand is slow. Do not offer private or off-platform passenger rides. Coverage during an active ride or delivery is governed by the gig platform.

Position strategically

Use approved platform demand tools to reduce unproductive driving. Follow airport, venue, parking, and local traffic rules.

Use peak periods thoughtfully

Morning and evening commute periods, weekends, and major events may have stronger demand. Use the gig platform's own tools to assess current demand.

Keep the vehicle professional

Keep the cabin clean, avoid prohibited modifications, and use only safe accessories that do not obstruct the driver's view or vehicle controls.

Practice smart charging

Off-peak Supercharging can be up to 50% cheaper, depending on the station and time. Check the current price in Tesla navigation before charging. Navigate to the station so the battery can precondition when supported.

Combine charging with breaks

Plan meals and rest breaks around charging when it is safe and practical.

Track expenses

Keep records of tolls, charging, cleaning, and other business expenses. Consult a qualified tax professional for tax advice.
