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.
I Invited My Parents for Dinner, but When I Saw What They Did to My Daughter, I Kicked Them Out
This story was beautifully and poignantly told, capturing the challenges of generational dynamics, especially the responsibility of shielding a child’s innocence and sense of self-worth. Lily’s vulnerability and the father’s steadfast support made for an emotional narrative. The father’s memories of his own struggles with his parents’ relentless criticism heightened the stakes, showing a determination to break that cycle for Lily.
The progression from his initial nervous hope to his powerful stand for his daughter’s well-being underscores the strength it takes to confront deeply ingrained family patterns. He refuses to let his own painful history repeat with his daughter, emphasizing the importance of kindness and encouragement. That quiet moment afterward—him sitting alone, absorbing the night’s events—brought a touching depth, illustrating the cost of such resolve and the loneliness often felt in doing what’s right.
The ending left a hopeful impression, showing Lily’s resilience and her father’s unwavering support as she sits at the piano, fingers ready to try again. This story is a reminder of the generational cycle-breaking we often take on, fueled by love for our children.
