A man trying to pay off his $26,000 used Tesla has taken to the gig economy, working for DoorDash and Uber Eats to make it happen.
In his latest video, he documented his first full day on the job with Uber Eats, delivering food using his electric vehicle.
As a newcomer to the platform, he shared his early impressions, the learning curve of the app, and how he navigated the streets.
Bristling with optimism, the man has a simple goal: using his used Tesla to earn the money to pay it off, one delivery at a time.

First impression with Ubereats
The man shared his experience on his YouTube channel, Keep Going, where he posts motivational videos on his journey to financial independence.
Throughout the video, he walks viewers through the Uber Eats app experience, from accepting orders to figuring out where to go.
While some of the higher-paying orders initially seemed tempting, he passed on a few due to their long-distance drop-offs.

However, he later took a couple of those jobs just to keep moving and to get more familiar with the platform.
One of his key takeaways? Apartment buildings are not very delivery-friendly, as finding the right door can sometimes be more time-consuming than the drive itself.
During the video, he also praised Tesla’s lightning-fast acceleration, attributing his fast deliveries to the EV.
Hustling to pay off his used Tesla
He kept a running tally of his trips, showing how much each order earned.
He also explained that tips aren’t always processed right away, so the numbers might not tell the whole story in real time.
Still, by the time he wrapped up his day at 10:20 pm, his total stood at $74.93.
While he acknowledged it wasn’t a huge number, he also reminded viewers that he didn’t work the full day and is still new to the app.
Reflecting on the experience, he said the hustle gives him purpose, and the chance to stay busy while chipping away at his Tesla payments.

Despite some minor frustrations, like confusing addresses and the occasional awkward delivery, he seemed optimistic about continuing.
He also shared a candid moment about how driving through upscale neighborhoods made him feel a bit out of place, but also gave him motivation to keep grinding.
According to the YouTuber, when he was previously working as a mailman, he would deliver to fancy houses, and it would motivate him to work harder in order to put himself in a similar position.
“I’m in the process of reaching those goals. It takes time and patience, but you got to take initiative,” said the YouTuber.
