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.”
Tesla went viraI again this year after releasing their latest creation: the Cybertruck.
Princess Catherine’s Latest Public Appearance Has Fans Talking About Her “Grown” Hair
Kate Middleton is making waves again, and this time, it’s all about her hair. Despite facing cancer and going through chemo, Kate’s hair looked so healthy that it sparked a frenzy of reactions online. Some were in awe of her strength and beauty, while others were left buzzing with curiosity.
In a deeply moving moment at Windsor Castle on October 2, 2024, Princess Catherine Middleton embraced 16-year-old Liz Hatton, a young photographer fighting a rare and aggressive tumor. It was Catherine’s first public appearance since resuming royal duties, and the image of their hug quickly spread online, sparking an emotional response.
Liz’s short hair, a result of her grueling battle with the disease, stood in contrast to Catherine’s healthy-looking locks—a detail that didn’t go unnoticed. Both women have faced cancer, and this poignant difference between them became a powerful image of resilience and hope. Online platforms were flooded with comments, particularly on Catherine’s hair.
As Princess Catherine Middleton was seen offering support to the young photographer, one comment took a more critical tone, with one person asking, “How did Catherine not lose any hair after chemo?” Another cynically remarked, “How come that all the real cancer patients are without hair on their head and your hair is longer and longer?”
While some comments were probing and critical, others were filled with admiration for her appearance. One fan gushed, “Catherine looks stunning 😍,” while another marveled, “Kate’s hair! Wow!” Some wondered aloud, “Has Kate got extensions? My goodness, her hair has grown.” Another admirer expressed, “Catherine, it’s so great to see you looking so healthy and beautiful ❤️,” and a similar sentiment followed, “Her hair is beautiful, but more than that, I’m just glad to see her out and about❤️”
This appearance, which has sparked a range of reactions, is a rare one for Catherine, as she has largely remained out of the public eye this year. The Palace previously mentioned that it is still uncertain whether the princess is cancer-free, even after completing chemotherapy.
This isn’t the first time comments like “How come she still has her hair?” have surfaced regarding Princess Catherine’s public appearances. In her first outing in months, many were astonished by her hair.
