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.
«What Happened to Her?» Paris Hilton’s Latest Appearance Causes a Stir
Paris Hilton is no stranger to taking risks when it comes to fashion, and this Tuesday night, all eyes were on her as she walked the red carpet at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards. While many fans gushed over her fabulous cutout outfit, others were more skeptical about her overall look.
The 43-year-old socialite made waves at the second annual Fashion Trust U.S. Awards, sporting a striking black blazer dress with numerous intricate cutouts.
Hilton dazzled in her avant-garde Mugler ensemble, characterized by sharp shoulders, a cinched waist, and a structured skirt that elegantly draped over a black underlay, revealing glimpses of skin.
The star swept her blonde locks into a sleek bun with a side-swept bang framing her face, opting for understated jewelry—a pair of diamond studs and her eye-catching engagement ring from husband Carter Ruem.
Fans on social media showered Paris with compliments for her outfit selection and her chic all-black ensemble, affectionately referring to her as «Queen». One commenter wrote, ’’I like the edgy look on you,’’ while another exclaimed, ’’I have no words! Ok, I have three: hot, strong, and smart!’’
But as always, opinions varied, and not everyone was fully a fan of Hilton’s appearance. One person noted that her look is making her appear ’’so manly’’, and wondered ’’what happened to her??’’
While another online user speculated that the star appeared uncomfortable, remarking, ’’I don’t think Paris is feeling her outfit.’’
A third wrote, ’’You’d think with age and two children that she’d have outgrown dressing like this.’’
We’ll add our voice to those praising Paris Hilton’s stunning appearance, as she radiates on the red carpet.
