Tesla 3 will be the best in my opinion, we need to wait for it unilt 2018. with 5k from uber and another 5k from the government we should be able to get for around 20k which is not bad for a full electric brand new car.
The range is around 200 miles !

BULLSHIIT!!!! what an assholes, spreading the shit they made on everyone    "This arrangement is completely compliant within the existing UK law, and is a common practice within the industry"

London – June 11, 2015 – TfL Pension Fund ('The Fund') has appointed BlackRock to manage liability-driven investing (LDI) and passive equity portfolios totaling £3.8bn assets.
The £1.6bn LDI mandate will include measures to protect the Fund from market uncertainties, including inflation as well as interest rate and equity volatility, whist having measured exposure to risk to achieve excess positive returns. The Fund's £2.2bn passive equity exposure will include investments across a range of index funds. The primary objective is for the Fund to hold sufficient assets to meet its member liabilities.
This new mandate follows an initial £100m commitment made by the Fund into the BlackRock Renewable Income in March 2014 - a UK-focused fund that invests in onshore wind, offshore wind and solar projects - which is part of a strategy to introduce new asset classes into the Fund's alternatives portfolio.
Stephen Field, Fund Secretary of TfL Pension Fund, said: "We have a duty to our Fund members to ensure we employ the best investment solutions and consider all possible market risks and opportunities. BlackRock is a key partner, helping us to navigate changing market conditions to deliver the outcomes we require for our members."
Andy Tunningley, Head of UK Strategic Institutional Clients at BlackRock said: "These are demanding times for pension funds and we believe the varied risks they face are best managed by understanding the true drivers of the underlying asset classes. We look forward to bringing together the best of BlackRock's investment and risk management platform to deliver the best outcomes for the Fund members."
The Fund has over 82,000 members with assets of £7.3bn as at March 31 2014, across multi-asset index strategies, enhanced index funds, bonds, global equities and alternatives.

Thousands of drivers, including myself, received warnings in the Uber app about using Fake GPS programs on our phones and tablets.  Hundreds, if not thousands of other drivers received other warnings on a wide variety of infractions
Uber has reached a point where they have far more drivers than they need and it seems that the weeding process has begun.  With a surplus of drivers, they can afford to weed out the worst ones and keep the best.

nothing for me, I think is too late maybe, the average customer is not going to tip after getting used to it in all these years of no tipping policy

We regularly hear of drivers delivering great service so now, if your rider thinks you deserve more than just “Thanks for the ride!”, they will have the option to leave you a tip through the app. Once the trip has finished, your rider will see the option to leave a tip when they rate you. We’ll take care of the rest, debiting it from their preferred payment method and adding it to your payments. 100% of the tip goes to you. You can keep track of any tips by going to the earnings tab in your app.   WOW, this is something ! https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/the-latest-installment-of-improvements-for-drivers/#morecontrol

I agree, if you have a car which can be used both for x and exec is by far the best option and most efficient, hoping you don't have a 16 plate E class  a 12 plate one will be perfect, the old drivers have this opportunity

quick droop and pick should be fine, quick means no more than 10 sec

You have time until July 2018 now! Relax, have a beer, plenty of time to learn

If you got a second phone with the Uber driver app installed, and you can do X work as well, keep it open and look for surge areas on X. 
Exec tends to get busy when it surges on X, as the surge price may exceed the cost of an Exec. 

If you drive for Exec or Lux, you have to drive towards the city, you have to chase the middle class or upper class clients

Some they will post one lucky week and say is not true, but the truth is out there

I am curious about the tip, they will take commissions from it?

I am curious about the tip, they will take commissions from it?

Each month for the next 6 months Uber will generate new improvements ???
 
https://pages.et.uber.com/180-days/
Tipping?
Waiting time reduced?
.....but commission still 25% which is way too big for these days when different companies are charging 15%, I wondering if they can lower the commission as well along with all these beautiful things???

And this is just the beginning  more and more agents recruited by TFL, this is one of the reason they are increasing the fees for operator licence

Dropping a friend on Brompton road  day time and 2 unerdover TFL agents kept me for 2 hours checking all my documents and why I dropped my friend and who was it.
Dont even think about it and risk your licence by using private customers, they are everywhere these days, better to book your job !!!

With Uber you can earn from £9/hour up to £25+ which will give you more than £100 for 8 hours shift but your daily running costs is around £30, sadly is not ok, to feel ok you need to make minimum £130 in those 8 hours, agree?

Just for 4 months to distract our attention and then of course will be 5 years for the same old price. IS going to be a game changer for those 113 operators who have more than 100 cars, the threshold should be between 500 and 1000, not 100.
Is good for Uber because many operators will collapse, cant afford to pay £160k

Yes, easier for customers to show us some love
