When Lena agrees to drive her neighbor Karen’s daughter, Emily, to school as a one-time favor, she never expects it to become a daily routine. But Karen’s requests turn into a constant expectation, and when Lena asks her to return the favor, Karen lies, claiming her car is “too full” to take Lena’s daughter, Sophie. Frustrated, Lena decides to teach Karen a lesson.
The next day, Lena agrees to take Emily again but makes an extra stop at Sophie’s favorite donut shop, taking her time and ensuring they’ll be late. By the time they arrive, Karen is furious, waiting for Lena with a forced smile and a curt reprimand. Lena simply suggests that Karen might take Emily herself next time.
The tactic works. Karen stops asking Lena for rides, now taking Emily herself, and avoids Lena out of embarrassment. Lena realizes that being a good neighbor doesn’t mean being a doormat — sometimes you have to stand up for yourself.
Tesla Driver Reveals Jaw-Dropping Electric Bill After 12 Months: Shocked Reactions Pour In
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.
