- jbob2000 10y agoHe probably took out a loan to buy a nice car/limo to do Uber Black work. Since the rates dropped, he probably can't make the monthly payments, let alone maintenance and gas.
- arprocter 10y agoI'm guessing he multiplied his total miles driven by the old $20 rate mentioned and the current $2.75 rate and the difference is his 'loss'
- dkonofalski 10y agoHe more than likely purchased multiple cars in order to run a business using the Uber infrastructure. He may even have family or friends involved as drivers. If he purchased a luxury car outright, he could also have dropped $97k just for that vehicle alone since Uber Black requires a certain type of vehicle in exchange for higher fare rates.
