The EV Drive-to-Own program is a partnership between RideShare Carz, Spring Free EV, and Uber, offering Uber drivers the opportunity to own a Tesla Model 3 through convenient weekly payments. The program is designed to help drivers own their vehicles faster by driving more, with the option to own the vehicle at the end of the term or after reaching 200,000 miles.

Yes, you can still qualify provided you have no recent bankruptcies. Our plans accommodate various credit histories, helping you own your car and rebuild your credit over time. This program is exclusively for Uber’s top-tier drivers—those with Diamond, Platinum, or Gold status. To qualify, you need a valid debit or credit card and a $1,000 refundable security deposit.

Your refundable security deposit is due during your scheduled virtual or on-site appointment. Once the deposit is secured, we will move forward with the next steps, including acquiring and preparing your vehicle. When you reach the payment step in the purchase process, please ensure funds are available before proceeding. Acceptable payment methods include ACH or debit/credit through Stripe. 

The weekly payment covers the rental price of the vehicle, including a base mileage allowance, as well as insurance, an extended battery warranty, vehicle inspection and registration, and 24/7 roadside assistance.

The great news is that every additional mile driven brings you closer to the 200,000-mile mark, which is when you can take ownership of the vehicle, even if it’s before the end of your term. This means the more you drive, the faster you can own your Tesla, turning those extra bonus miles into a smart investment toward vehicle ownership.

Yes, unlike many long-term rental or lease agreements, you can opt-out after 6 months with a 30-day notice and receive a refund of your deposit, minus any outstanding balances.

For your security deposit, we accept payments via ACH or debit/credit card through Stripe. Weekly payments are made conveniently through the Rideshare Carz mobile app or online payment portal. If you encounter any technical issues, you can also call or text to make payments, ensuring you always have a reliable way to manage your payments.

By signing up today, you could earn an additional $2,040 over the next 6 months, on top of your regular earnings. You can receive a $600 bonus for completing 1,000 trips within 3 months, and this bonus is available twice through our special Drive-to-Own incentive. Additionally, you can earn up to $210 per month with Uber’s Zero Emissions incentive. Driving a Tesla also helps you save on gas and makes you eligible for higher-paying Uber Comfort trips, further boosting your earnings.
