People are amazed by the remarkable electricity bill required to keep a Tesla running for an entire year.
The residents of Kewaskum, a small town, seem to accept the sign as an expression of the owner’s beliefs and values. Dairy Queen officially stated that Scheunemann’s approach is not endorsed by the corporation and that the sign represents the views of this particular franchise owner. The company emphasized that regardless of a customer’s religious beliefs, all franchisees and employees are required to treat them with respect and dignity.
Recently, on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), someone shared their electric bill after owning a Tesla for a year – and the amount was astonishingly low. They sarcastically captioned the post: “First bill in 12 months. ‘This sucks.’” This sarcastic comment reflected their surprise upon discovering that their electricity bill amounted to just $2.37 (£1.89) for the entire year.
But how is this possible? Upon closer inspection, it’s evident that the process is still quite expensive. The person’s cover photo featured a Tesla Powerwall, a large battery that integrates with the home’s power system, particularly advantageous if solar panels are installed. This setup enables excess solar energy to charge the Powerwall, which in turn powers the car. However, Powerwalls come with a hefty price tag, ranging from $11,500 (£9,000) to $15,000 (£11,800).
For those intending to keep their Tesla for an extended period, this expense may be considered justifiable to some extent, potentially proving cost-effective in the long run. However, not everyone has the financial resources to make such an investment.
In response to the Tesla owner’s sarcastic post, commenters joked about starting a GoFundMe campaign to assist him. Others pretended to sympathize with his predicament. Tesla once again grabbed headlines this year with the unveiling of their latest innovation: the Cybertruck.
