People can’t believe how much it cost him in electricity to run his Tesla for a whoIe year. It wouldn’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 baffled 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 little?
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 long-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.”

What a powerful and gripping story! It tackles some heavy themes like child abuse and the complexities of fostering with a blend of urgency and emotion. The way you portrayed Ben’s bravery and the fierce protection from Colleen and Ray really pulls at the heartstrings.
The tension builds effectively throughout, especially during the confrontation with Mrs. Campbell and the Franklins. The emotional weight of Ben’s situation is palpable, and the final resolution feels hopeful while still acknowledging the real struggles faced by children in similar circumstances.
I also love how you included the detail of Colleen making mac and cheese for Ben; it adds a touch of normalcy amidst the chaos and shows her nurturing side.
Overall, it’s a well-crafted narrative that highlights the importance of listening to children and taking their concerns seriously. I’m curious about how the family will adjust to their new life together after everything that happened. Would you consider expanding on their journey as a blended family with Grace and Ben?
