Tesla Owner’s Surprisingly Low Electric Cost: A Tesla owner recently surprised many by posting his yearly power cost after one year of driving his Tesla. Despite the car’s high price, the running costs were substantially lower than predicted.
Surprisingly Low Cost: On X (previously Twitter), the guy revealed that his annual power cost was only $2.37 (£1.89). This is far less than most people would expect for charging a Tesla. He said, “This is the first time I have had a bill within the last 12 months.”
The secret to the cheap expense is the Tesla Powerwall, a massive battery that interfaces with the home’s electricity supply. Combined with solar panels, it stores excess energy for charging the Tesla. Although the Powerwall is pricey, it can considerably cut long-term charging expenditures.
Long-Term Savings: While the initial cost of a Powerwall is significant, ranging from $11,500 (£9,000) to $15,000 (£11,800), it may be a reasonable investment for long-term Tesla owners.
People joked about the low bill online, with one suggesting a GoFundMe page to cover the firewall costs.
