Without video, this is the best suggestion. Try teeing up so no more than 1/2 the ball is above the crown of the driver at address.

That’s what I thought but was a rubber tee at the driving range, no bigger than a pink castle tee. Could still be the case… will try for a lower tee.

Sometimes that can send you the other way - remember lots of golf is a game of opposites.
Personally, if I tee my ball down lower, my brain will say I have to swing down at it to make good contact with the ball. If I tee it abnormally high, my brain will say swing up to get the ball.
Saw you have a slice too. Agree with others most likely steep swing path.
Hitting the ball early in the swing arc (move your feet behind the ball) or tee up too high; this will usually cause pop-ups.
This explains a lot. I thought that X meant “hit here” and I was like “why do people think this is hard? I can do it every swing” 
.
Tee too high.
Driver is a different swing from every other club in your bag. You want to hit the ball on an upswing. Every other club you should hit down on.
There are too many possibilities. It’s like, “how do you fix a slice?”.

100% agree. Just wondering what top possibilities might be for me to look into.
Tee height first. Second is losing posture and flipping the club.
Teeing it up 3 feet?
It can be a bunch of things.
If you’re hitting down on the ball and the tee is too high, you’ll hit off the crown. If the tee is way too high, you’ll hit off the crown. If the ball is too far back in your stance, you have to hit down on it; combine that with a high tee and you’ll hit off the crown.
There’s a few things; ideally you want to hit up on it, so moving the ball forward in your stance with a high tee will theoretically fix this, but it can encourage a fade due to the swing naturally coming more from the outside since the ball is later in the arc.
You could also just tee up lower and change nothing else, but if you’re hitting down, you may be leaving some distance on the table.
You could add some more tilt to encourage hitting up on the ball, but that’s weird and can cause you to bottom out early and hit the ground first. If that happens you’re tilting too much.
Chances are the fix will be some combination of the above. If you’re just trying to stay alive mid-round, just tee the ball lower. Don’t fuck with other things while playing; just makes it worse.
@Jasper
Of course you know that ‘not fucking with other things’ is not possible during a round. But I do agree with teeing the ball lower or in rare cases, off the deck.
Swing down towards the ground a lot sooner, before the ball. It’s a weird feeling at first but it helps hit up on the ball. Practice at the range.
This usually occurs when you have a negative angle of attack on the ball. That means the bottom of the swing circle is under or in front of the ball because you’re swinging down at the ball instead of up at the ball on the tee.
The bottom of the swing circle with the driver should be behind the ball so the club face strikes the ball with an ascending blow. This swing circle results in a positive angle of attack which is commonly called swinging up at the ball.
Your swing.
Negative attack angle often caused by over the top.
You’re coming down too steep, 100%.
Agreed.
