🚗💡 Show Notes — Uber Changed the Rules… But I Won

Episode summary: When Uber pulled the plug on Comfort and Premier rides for my Tesla, my business model fell apart overnight. My daily $300 goal suddenly looked impossible. But I refused to quit. I dug into my data, tested strategies, and built a repeatable system to survive — and thrive — in an UberX-only world.

In this episode, I share the exact steps I took to rebuild my income and prove that drivers can adapt and still win even when Uber changes the game.

🔧 What You’ll Learn

  • What changed: Why losing Comfort & Premier rides cut fares and tips.
  • My key metric: 2.5 rides per true driving hour — hit 24–26 trips to reach ~$300/day.
  • The ElectricPete® New UberX System:
    • 🟦 Preferred Area Box — keep rides in profitable Center City.
    • 🎯 Uber Destination Rides — morning & mid-day steering.
    • 🏡 ElectricPete Hack® — earn while heading home without tanking acceptance rate.
  • Timing matters: Why starting after 7 AM beats the old 6 AM hustle.
  • How to avoid 16-hour slogs: Plan strategic breaks and finish strong.
  • Mindset shift: Track your numbers, adapt, and stay profitable even when Uber changes the rules.

✨ Key Takeaway

“Uber changed the game — but I measured, adapted, and built a repeatable plan: 2.5 rides/hr ≈ 25 rides/day = $300.”
