The story
I am a full time rideshare driver using Uber, Lyft, and soon to be on Uzurv360. We fell in love with Tesla after seeing a random YouTube video. We started researching Tesla and were hooked by the safety rating, full electric, and roomy. They also look very sleek and sexy, so that was a bonus! Our oldest daughter named our Model S "Tess" and it stuck. Tess is my dream car. We spent a while searching for a Tesla in our budget and got lucky on Craigslist. I went from spending ~$700-800 a month on gas to a much cheaper car payment and haven't looked back. I have doubled my work miles, lowered my overall costs, and got the perks of a fun and safe vehicle to drive while working. There's nothing quite like the looks on my riders faces when I pull up to pick them up! I will never own anything else. ðŸ˜
