Wayne Edward, an Uber driver in Toronto, has earned a stellar five-star rating over three years and 8,000 rides, partly due to his electric vehicle (EV), a Tesla Model Y, which often sparks conversations and questions from passengers. Acting as both an Uber driver and a Tesla ambassador, Edward enjoys explaining the features of his EV to passengers, finding joy in the interactions. Beyond being a conversation starter, his EV proves to be a wise business investment, saving him over $12,000 annually in gas and maintenance costs.
