Don't limit yourself to Uber or Lyft: multi-app with services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Amazon Flex during slower rideshare periods. This ensures steady earnings when ride demand drops. ZEVO's insurance gives you the flexibility to do any gig work.
Turn each ride into an earning opportunity. Refer riders or drivers to ZEVO, Uber, or Lyft to earn up to $100+ per referral. Carry business cards advertising private Tesla rides for events, airport trips, or daily commutes. Many riders prefer having a reliable, direct driver—one solid connection can lead to steady, high-paying work.
Position yourself near hot zones like airports, bars, or business districts during quiet periods. Instead of driving aimlessly, use apps like Gridwise or Uber heatmaps to locate high-demand areas.
Focus on morning and evening rush hours, weekend nights, and major events (concerts, sports, conventions). Tesla's low operating cost makes surge pricing especially profitable.
Set destination filters during slower periods to secure long trips toward home or high-demand areas, especially when ending your shift. This keeps your mileage profitable.
Keep your car clean and fresh-smelling to make a strong first impression and boost tips. Offer comforts like phone chargers, bottled water, tissues, mints or gum, and hand sanitizer. Add subtle air freshener, a visible phone mount, LED mood lighting, and let riders choose the music to elevate the experience. These simple touches go a long way in earning 5-star ratings and repeat riders.
