People can’t believe how much it cost him in eIectricity to run his Tesla for a whole year. It wouIdn’t be silly to think that the costs of running a Tesla might be slightly extortionate when taking a look at how much the cars cost in the first place. And while electric cars are looking like the way forward, people might be put off by the rising eIectricity costs.People were left baffIed on X, formerly known as Twitter, when a man shared his electric bill after a year of driving the car – and the figure was certainIy surprising.We all know that petrol and diesel are definitely not the cheapest ways to get around, but how much does it really cost to run one of Elon Musk’s motors? The man captioned the post: “First time I have had a bill within the last 12 months. “This sucks.”
He was writing sarcastically, of course, after seeing that his electricity bill was actually in single digits. After a year? You did read that right. The balance due was just $2.37 (£1.89)– rather than the hundreds of dollars you might assume it costs to charge your car regularly over a month.
But how on earth did it only cost so littIe?
Well, upon taking a closer look, it appears it’s still a pretty expensive process.The user’s cover photo displays a Tesla Powerwall, which is a huge battery that loops into your home’s power and is really handy to have if you have got solar panels.
It means that the solar panels which power your house, also store excess charge in your Powerwall, which charges your car. But these don’t come at a small cost, as you may have presumed. The Powerwalls start at around $11,500 (£9,000), but can range up to $15,000 (£11,800), according to Forbes.
If you plan to keep your Tesla for a number of years, which evens this figure out a bit, maybe there’s a case for it working out in the Iong-run to be borderline cost effective.
That’s if someone could hand us nine grand, please?
People joked in the comments about the Tesla owner’s sarcastic post, one said: “Damn my dude post a GoFundMe the community will rally around you I’m sure.”
Another said: “That’s horrible.
“My condolences.”
Tesla went viraI again this year after reIeasing their latest creation: the Cybertruck.
New Father Kicks Wife With Newborn Twins onto the Streets, Years Later He Begs Her for Help
Angie’s story captures the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion and forgiveness. Abandoned and alone with newborn twins, Angie didn’t succumb to bitterness. Instead, she found strength in her love for her children, seizing every opportunity to build a better life for them. The kindness of a stranger—the nun who offered her shelter on that rainy night—became a turning point, showing that even in our darkest moments, small acts of generosity can illuminate a new path.
Despite the hurt and betrayal she endured, Angie chose forgiveness over resentment when Jake reappeared in her life. By offering him a second chance, she demonstrated a rare strength and wisdom, reminding us that forgiveness is as much about self-healing as it is about extending grace to others. Angie’s journey from heartbreak to prosperity, and her unwavering compassion, exemplify how true strength often lies in an open heart.
This story shows us that every setback can be the foundation for new beginnings, and that while forgiveness may not erase past pain, it can bring peace and light back into our lives.
