Hello Steemit Community,
I was walking down Peachtree St in Atlanta, GA the other day and found myself admiring several Tesla Model S that drove by. This got me thinking, how can we justify buying one of these awesome machines on a normal persons income?
The answer my friends is becoming a part time Uber driver. You may scoff at this idea and I did as well until I tried it. Once you figure out how to make Uber work for you it opens up all types of possibilities. Today we'll explore purchasing a Tesla Model S.
When you search the classifieds you'll find a 2014 or earlier Model S can be found for under $50,000. If you have decent credit and a stable income you'll be able to sign up for a 5 year car loan which will cost you ~$900 per month.
Using Uber to pay your car note isn't hard by any means. All you have to do is turn on the app and do something else until you get a ping. When the ping comes in do what Uber tells you for four rides and you're done for the day. If you run on only Uber X, depending on where you live, you can expect on average $8 per ride which won't take more than 2 hours. Turn off the app and you're done for the day.
At first this is easy as the excitement of starting something new will keep your motivation high. It'll get much harder when the excitement disappears and the realization hits that you're locked int to 59 months more of daily Uber driving. At least you'll be driving one sweet car.
Cheers!
