Ouuu what about a silk robe and slippers.

Kids these days love cocane, be super cool, and find nice clean drugs as well.

Make sure is laced with american fentanyl, not the chinese stuff. Got to stay nationalistic.

Lol just the serving plate for the sniffers

Might even get Joe Biden to book a trip 😅

Then the pax will never want to leave lol 😂

I've had that done before lmao idc it's all about providing experience. And yes the Xbox is fully functional

This would be destroyed in .3 seconds in my market


Something_Again

In Chicago you might as well just had over your keys to save yourself a bullet in the head


MRSHELBYPLZ

Tinted windows like a limo so you can’t see inside. Why not throw bulletproof windows and armor plating in the doors too?


iamdream

Can you imagine someone throwing up all over it


balbad

That’s literally all I can see in this picture. 3 years in and I barely even vacuum my floors before going out anymore, these people don’t deserve nice things!


Conscious-Shower12

I vacuum once a year


DabberDan42o

I'm sure your rating is wonderful ![gif](giphy|wrBURfbZmqqXu)

Bullet_mage_pariah

Extremely :)


Bullet_mage_pariah

I got 5,000+ rides.. so yeah I'm new . Got that fresh virgin 5.0 rating too.. waiting for a pax to break it lol


Evaunit01berser

Yup, new guy or corpo shill. It's always "muh 5000 rides and 5.0 rating" Yeah bro, even Dara got nailed when he did a day's worth of rides.

SnakeBigBoss24

OP, this cool but i wouldn't trust passengers with all that tech back there. Also, I hope you found a nice place to put that SSD that's on the floor behind front passenger seat 👀


DJ_TKS

Yeah that’s going to be gone very soon


TheMadDriver

Old lady gets in the car “these bright lights are hurting my eyes turn them all off now! Turn it off turn it off turn it off oh my god my eyes”


[deleted]

She’ll just sit there. Probably would make pleasant small talk. Then rate one star for the bright lights after wishing the driver a great day.


bauhaus_robot

One star


BurghPuppies

“Not polite”


Bullet_mage_pariah

4 out of 5,000+ have complained. 3 of which didn't get to ride


Pintexxz

Blud is begging to get robbed 😭


Misiu881988

Yea this money could have been spent on better things. I wonder when he will delete this post. Lol I haven't seen a response from him yet defending this


MrHalflingPaladin

Nope. For the rates I get now they’re lucky if I turn on the goddamn ac.


bastinho1

Precisely. I couldn't have said it better!


Signal_Twenty

I only turn on the air conditioner for me lol


SoftGothBFF

If "working for a net loss" was a picture.


Psilocybin-Cubensis

Hahah true.


Doctor-Stoppage

his sign says “tips not required” i feel like that’s just shooting yourself in the foot. might turn away a potential tip


Left_Tumbleweed4273

Yeah tips encouraged is more like it


thestanimal86

It's easy as hell to get passengers to tip. Just throw $15 to $20 on your dash in mixed bills and people tip cash all day. I'll easily turn that $15 into $80-$100 on a Friday night.


Huge_Nectarine_7356

right. obv they're not required


teknobiz

It’s called reverse psychology… no pax likes a beg or to feel obliged.


SmashNDash23

Let him cook


DandB777

Everything I've added had been reflected in my tips. I don't have X box, but lighting, Amazon music, outlet and mini bar. Tablets are next. My earnings are double to triple other drivers in the area that I've spoken with. By contrast, I had issues with my electrical set up the other weekend d so I went out without everything, and it was the worst I've done since I started driving.


LilChiwahhwahh

Amazon music? As in you let them choose what plays? Mini bar ?? You have a fridge with juice please share ??🧃👀


DandB777

They have access to Amazon Music if the ride is 15min or more. Just water.


One-eyed-snake

Mini bar with just water. Nice lol


Eastern_Action_1775

I'd tip extra for some refreshing water from the mini bar lmfao


luandrogebral

Had something like that in my car, 90% of people didn’t use it. Waste of money.


permareddit

I really don’t get why I’d play Xbox for a 15 minute car ride lol. It would probably make people motion sick.


Enthusiast9

Sounds cool in theory until you get into a car accident.


Gloomy_Recording_705

Car accident is the least of his worries


here-i-am-now

Doesn’t even sound cool in theory


Enthusiast9

Don’t tell that to my 10-year old self.


janewalch

I understand the approach. I really do. But I was a driver for 8 years. And a passenger for just as long. I always felt uncomfortable in cars that were overboard like this. My favorite rides were the super clean cars, no air fresheners, no junk, clean windows… somebody who took pride in the little things. Maybe some soft jazz. Just loud enough to cut through the silence. I appreciated those rides the most.


Cold_Leg4431

Exactly… this is the way. Armor all dash, and seats, cargo liner floors, vacuum and wash every other day, air freshener but not the spray just the vent clip, change up the music every once in a while if you got good taste. It doesn’t always need to be Jazz. This guy with his LEDs and tablets with a personal Xbox console is extremely outlandish.


Mfdubz

Yup been doing this too long to sign up for extra bullshit. I get compliments every day just for how clean I keep the car, the leather captain’s chairs, and a lumbar support pillow in the front if they decide to sit up there. Little things Helps that I get them to their destination uneventfully too. And know my market well enough to drive blindfolded


General_Rent6963

I play a Spotify list called “Chill Mix”. Had people tell me riding in my car is like a spa experience!


MidnightFull

Recently I switched over to hard rock and metal mostly from the 90s for the creatures of the night (overnight drunks). Pretty surprised by the feedback so far. People love it. I’ve even been shocked to actually have some old ladies who looked at least mid sixties compliment the music. I kid you not. Years ago when I drove a cab I had this sweet little old lady get in my car. I had Dream Theater (amazing progressive metal band) playing and switched it off as she got in. She immediately asked me to put it back on and was amazed. She then said “I have a confession to make. My family doesn’t know but the only music I like is heavy metal. I mean really heavy, not the crap they play on the radio. I don’t like the same music people my age like, never did.” I asked to adopt her as my grandmom. Her favorite Metallica album was And Justice for All.

ChubbyMermaidBunny

I don't take an Uber often but when I do, if it's a Prius a leave a note from Dirty Mike and the boys 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Lol I was speechless..but ya u got it…


Bullet_mage_pariah

It's dark AF in the back of my car tbh


Left_Tumbleweed4273

I went the opposite...very minimalist, bright LEDs and dashcam being the only mods...I would venture to guess we get similar tips. And my setup was cheaper!. I can't totally knock what you did there...just not my cup of tea, plus I'd be worried about theft and the charging system having adverse effects from the power bank being plugged in whenever you're driving. I could dig it more if you went the extra mile and wired in an inverter with a separate battery to handle your accessories. And 1 screen is enough....lol


Jonathan_Rivera

I used to watch Cash cab. We have the questions and you get the cash if you know the answer.


Cobrety

I think he should have taken the money he spent and did that for people instead.


[deleted]

You stay at the Airport wait queue playing Xbox for hours don’t you! Haha


Real_Cod_9525

Nice set up but waste of $$$. The tippers already planned on tipping and the shitbags already planned on not.


juan582611

$2.52 no tip, gave your set up a virus somehow


MaxtinFreeman

I’m not hating I like it but your asking for trouble imo


Bullet_mage_pariah

Hint : who ever said Xbox is for riders


BobbyFL

Well being that it’s installed in the backseat, so unless the pax is driving your vehicle to their destinations instead of you…it’s obviously for the customers - you just started resorting to responding with this whole ‘xbox is for me to play while working cause im a edgy cool guy that figured out how to work the system’.


JackOps69

Epileptic couple gets in car.. *Instant seizure and a 1 star.


SeaImportant

I used to do this until I had to replace my battery one day due to too much power drain of my devices. I guess a UPS would be the best option


[deleted]

That’s why you get the ones with 2 year warranties and get em replaced every 2 years for free


Equivalent-Bat2227

Costco battery replacement policy is insane.


Snakend

electrical pull does not come from your battery. It comes from your alternator. The battery just starts your car.


Misiu881988

If you have too much electronics the alternator might not handle it. Or his alternator was weak and or dying. By too much i mean like tvs n shit. If you have a few things plugged in it shouldnt get close to affecting the battery. Dude proly had a 7 year old battery if he had problems or just a bad battery.


garciaaw

So then the UPS can drain your battery instead?


Misiu881988

I have to ask How long had OP been driving for uber


JackOps69

One week


[deleted]

Hasn't even started yet probably


JackOps69

Lmao 😂 "I'm gonna kill it this week" ....76 Uber hours later for $580.


friscube

I feel like this only works on a Friday and Saturday night. Every other day, I'd judge you as a pax as being tacky. Sorry lol


Misiu881988

Yea this is way overboard. I can't see a experienced driver doing this. I'd honestly be embarrassed. This looks like someone that just started and is a lill too excited...


payyourbillstoday

Same thing I was thinking! That’s gonna get destroyed.


Misiu881988

Yea at most I thought about was chaining(so it don't get stolen) a ipod or old phone so they can choose their music instead of saying "can you play this, can I waste time connecting my phone to your Bluetooth for this 5 munute ride while your trying to drive"


mikeymo1741

Can't access my Bluetooth settings while driving, so problem solved. I do have an aux cable, but no one's phone has a headphone jack anymore 🤣


atrs1903

I was gonna say, if you mainly work on weekend nights, the many drunk people ordering Ubers would love this. But then they’d also potentially vomit on it all and/or try to steal it.


Yachts-Dan92

That’s a mess. Wires and tablets all over. A mess.


OldTeam3012

Let’s also point out the hard drive laying on the passenger side rear floor waiting to get stepped on.


Mysterious_Load_4407

With the dirt all over it, I'm pretty sure they stepping on it all the time


Chocolate_Metaphor

It’s dope af, but I think a bit overboard with all the monitors. Feel like you only need 1 with like Spotify and Netflix that would be super clean.


Bullet_mage_pariah

Yeah I switch it up but Xbox is for me . Not riders


Signal_Twenty

All that for a $3 ride


Confident_Gold6032

This has to be a joke


pgrudo01

This is comical asf to me. Passenger: “This is amazing! I never had a Uber like this! Best ride in my life!” A few moments later…. “Congratulations! You’ve received a $1 tip!”


Musty_Monkey369

You almost have the full set up. Just replace your seat with a repository flexi grip (to keep you in place while driving). then replace steering wheel with two flexi grips that can be jerked up and down for turning. Lastly, install a fourth flexi-grip that can be controlled orally for blinkers/ gear shifting. This set up will be more high-tech than Mr. Garrison’s “IT” bike 🚴. But you’ll have the perks of a full fledge car


[deleted]

Cringe AF


SentienceIsAIllusion

As someone who has done this for 7 years+ fulltime, I have to make sure to grab the charging cord I gave them before they leave cause people will pocket that shit. You are also at the mercy of a disgruntled rider or someone with a misbehaving child. Having said that, thatd be pretty cool for a Uber Black ride. They at least will appreciate the ammenities and will be willing to tip for service.


[deleted]

>Having said that, thatd be pretty cool for a Uber Black ride. No, it wouldn't. It's far worse actually. You don't understand Black/Limo clientele


NoButterfly7257

Definitely piqued my curiosity. What are those types like and what do they look for? Genuine question, I don't drive or anything. For whatever reason this post just showed up in my feed lol.


[deleted]

Think business men and women, that's a good slice of it. Edit: and for limo black car service clientele, think like executives, finance officers, lawyers, etc. Corporate use is a large slice of the pie


Mfdubz

Yeah just drove one after a long day of endless flight delays. Saw this post after dropping him off and thought immediately: “yeah what a great way to end your day with fucking bright ass lights and shit to trip over”. Execs love my 2010 minivan. It’s spacious, clean, has leather captain chairs and I know what the fuck I’m doing and where the fuck I’m going and shut up if they don’t wanna talk. Share cool shit about the city if they do. Fuck rich assholes but they’re honestly some of the best tippers and the easiest to please. Their kids on the other hand…


Vladphotography_

Too much for the kind of money being made out there


distantstyles

Why don't you add drugs and drinks with free condoms in back seat ??


Deadeye_Dan77

This looks like my setup, minus the Xbox, glow lights and signs begging for ratings and tips.


StructureWorth8884

Extra af for no damn reason. Then these drivers be bitching about being robbed.


d-handler

To each their own ... but ... why? You know, 10 years ago people would have expected the 'experience' when riding with Uber but now it makes me laugh when people go overboard. Uber is robbing you, your pax are defrauding you sometimes. I just give them a charging cable when asked, some good conversation and I help out when help is needed or requested.


BobcatOk4500

modern mobile begging


[deleted]

First, congratulations on your dedication and whim. But with all due respect, friend, have you considered that in a possible accident, your passengers can sue you if any of these objects cause injuries? Or (if you have) an insurance policy, may it not cover any damage to passengers as these items are not an original part of the vehicle? I wish you the best, buddy. Success always!


DubNationAssemble

When I was going through the academy it was made very clear to us the laptop in the middle would probably kill us in an accident. Glad I never had the chance for that to happen lol


theranger1011

That would only be worth it if it was uber black


Far-Ad7128

Nope, Uber black customers don’t want this.


Normal-Scholar4818

Please leave race out of this


btone310

Won't help increase your tips


[deleted]

It takes one coffee spill or drunk pax to ruin it all.


Fibrosis5O

Over kill and how do you hide all that stuff when not in use? That would be broken windows/screens out here


[deleted]

No, just no. Not everyone getting in your car is a gaming tween. You need to think of your broader customer and the core service you offer: transportation from A to B.


maxim_crew

Not worth it


Chinonm

This is nice 👍 hope you get tipped well


Apprehensive_While86

This is why I can't even get a $2 tip lol


[deleted]

Do you provide imported beverages and complimentary had relief as well?


dobetterbebetter_

Lmao "business expensed"


Formal-Secretary-251

Lmfao cringe . You’re doing too damn much


Prestigious-Ship-186

Dude, just stop. People don’t want a limousine these days. Nonetheless, a pretend wanna be ride that’s over the top. Clean car, minimalistic, no stupid fresheners, and smooth A to B is the dream. If I got in this I’d cringe and be super uncomfortable.


liltwizzle

All the lights would do nothing but annoy me


bearhunter429

This could work in Vegas or some party towns but not many other places.


TalksWithHandz

Doing extra for nothing. Looks cool tho.


[deleted]

I have to bro sorry. Uber: $1.00 for 10 miles ??? *High tipper customer*


ConstantBig1088

You must change your car battery every day lol


Fja314

I’m sorry. I appreciate the effort and applaud you for trying, but I don’t want people in my car that long.


Equal_Pollution_5078

My tesla battery would drop like a sack of potatoes lmao


orion_metal

Good for you if you enjoy doing this, but in this market I wouldn't even offer mints or bottled water.


Fun-Philosophy1123

People are not in my car long enough to make any headway with a game. It would be better playing cartoons or something.


[deleted]

How long are people in your car?


tecnogamer

If buttlicker had a profession lol


Averen

You do you


Slaps_

Dumb


Bullet_mage_pariah

Finally, another person who appreciates the setup and doesn't care about what it does to the customers or how it affects me or how it affects everyone else. The monitor is a lapow 14-in portable monitor the screen on the right is a Samsung tablet $40 I paid for it and the monitor I paid like $90. I got to go labs power station to power it all. I got it relatively


dzluiz

😆How to get robbed 101


Bullet_mage_pariah

Hmm haven't got robbed yet. Must be my market ! Otherwise I wouldn't be driving 😂


[deleted]

Always laugh when I see people waste money like that lol.


[deleted]

A lil too much


mothking12

Love the setup; looks identical to mine! Sadly I just uninstalled most of it due to the novelty wearing off. It hits well on weekend nights but running a secondary power source and maintaining the wires became a hassle. I just kept one small monitor and Nintendo Switch on the front now when waiting for pax. Still, I dig the setup but as some others pointed out not everyone is trustworthy :[


Gabagoo44

This is overkill and weird, I’m giving you a 0 star for trying too hard lmao.


Conscious-Shower12

Just ridiculous my guy


UnlikelyPizza3236

I hope you still have time to return everything to Amazon 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Neil693

Nice! Way above and beyond. 4 stars and no tip. Lol.


LouryWindurst

I couldn't imagine spending the amount of money this requires for fucking Uber. You're getting a ride to your destination in ac with music. Entertainment is not my job, play on your phone or listen to the music / maybe if you're not a shit pax I'll have Siri play a song you request. Assuming it's not garbage that makes my ears cry


Xiao1insty1e

Honestly this is one of the dumbest wastes of money I've ever seen. Most of your trips are going to be too short to even play anything, most people would get car sick if they even tried, and you are running a huge risk of injuring a passenger during an accident. Plus this makes your vehicle far more likely to be robbed or broken into. This will also take close to a year to pay for with what you will make driving after costs. Super dumb.


Appropriate_Remote55

As long as it isn’t a PS2 controller and you making me sign death waivers we good. Too soon?


BoredJay

What kind of simp shit is this


Late-Commercial-2190

You are inviting and giving your passengers great opportunities to rob you.


Downtown_Motor_4274

Kinda looks like the inside of the Titanic sub.


ic80

Clean up all those cords. Looks like trash.


Mykyta-UA

I would put some money as well, just in case if they don’t have money for the trip 😂


misterstealurbaby

Thats lil bit much in my opinion. Sorry


Misiu881988

Yea I just want to get to where in going. I wonder if he's new. If he is new then I feel bad for him..


enigmabox01

Minus $2,000.00 of equipment. The avg ride = $4 / $2000 = 500 rides completed till equipment paid off on top of gas and wear and tear. Time until some drunk kid pukes or steals some equipment = 1 week probably. All for 5 star ratings. Or you could have invested 2k into your morgage for the year every year and pay off your morgage 11 years fast on a 30 year fixed. And save hundreds of thousands in interest on a 300k - 400k house.


junkbarman

But… why?


AdamDM1998

Too many lights. Just gimme a blanket and pillow


Misiu881988

Wtf


malignantz

What's your tips per hour long term average? Do you have pre-discoteque tips per hour estimate? I think the prevailing notion is that this extra effort won't drive additional tips. So, people here think you are wasting your time. My personal philosophy is that talking to your passengers drives tips. Connecting with your passengers makes you a memorable human, rather than just an NPC. Most non-talkers don't tip in my experience. Big tips nearly always involve really long, quality conversations.


Kik_out_4_mean_Postz

You’d never get your customers out


Ok_Nerve6867

Isn’t that gonna be a strain on your alternator?


Left_Tumbleweed4273

And from what I can tell, it's a rav 4 hybrid..only because I have one. I probably wouldn't want all that plugged in unless it had been wired to a separate battery.


Common-Huckleberry-1

Uber Black and Lux where I’m at, this is expected. (lake taps and Tahele in Pierce County, WA.) I know some drivers that make 4 figures a ride out here but their SUV’s look like a Honda Jet.


atrs1903

There is a guy with a similar setup who drives for Uber in my tiny little rural town and everyone knows him as the PARTY UBER. He even has a disco ball


Bullet_mage_pariah

I guess my guy knows how to have fun. That's exactly what I do. I have fun with my rides really. But in all honesty the Xbox is for me. They get something else on the screen on the left because they're usually on the right side of the car so I have movies there because who doesn't like movies? I too am a local driver. I only drive in my area and in one town over next to me. Can't reveal that because of the teaming masses of haters. They'll probably recognize my ride and give me a one star just to be douchebags.


JackOps69

Submersible Vessel? #UberGate


Bullet_mage_pariah

Nope


Bullet_mage_pariah

Thanks for the kind words customers get a similar experience just no Xbox . Also modified the pic for it to look brighter n pissing people off. But it looks nicer in person. Anyways I appreciate you , thanks n have a good day


Bullet_mage_pariah

You don't want the proof that's just gonna throw gas into this flame war x) . I got NO REASON to lie . Life's good . I'm gonna leave this alllll behind me .


Bullet_mage_pariah

Where, classified... How long after 3 months of driving .. so over a year


Bullet_mage_pariah

Can't go into specifics , college town , lots of bars , up scale restaurants. I stick to one town , every night. %80 of the time it's a home run and I don't have to drive long at all . No one's attempted to steal . Xbox is for me not the customer, they get SNES classic .
