Guidance: Uber joins forces with Tesla to promote electric vehicle adoption, offering up to $2,000 in subsidies for Model 3/Y drivers

According to news from this site on January 17, Uber announced that it will cooperate with Tesla to promote more American drivers to adopt electric vehicles, aiming to achieve the "zero emission" goal of American and Canadian cities by 2030.

Uber announced that in addition to the existing federal tax credit (up to $7,500), it will provide drivers with car purchase incentives of up to $2,000 for the purchase of Model 3 and Model Y. This car purchase incentive is equivalent to approximately 14,400 yuan.

Data shows: As of the end of last year, Uber had a total of 74,000 active electric vehicle drivers in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Andrew Macdonald, Uber’s senior vice president of mobility and business operations, said they learned from communicating with Uber drivers that the cost of vehicle ownership and charging Infrastructure are two major issues limiting their choice of electric vehicles. To solve these problems, they are working with Tesla.

According to reports, Uber has currently launched test driving activities in Tesla stores. Drivers can use the referral code to directly purchase current Tesla cars, but inventory is limited and while supplies last. It should be noted that car buyers must drive the car before March 31st and complete 100 drives by May 15th.

In addition, the two parties will also cooperate in data sharing. Uber will provide charging infrastructure positioning services to Tesla owners, covering the main travel areas of drivers.
