People can’t believe how much it cost him in eIectricity to run his Tesla for a whole year. It wouIdn’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 baffIed 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 littIe?
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 Iong-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 reIeasing their latest creation: the Cybertruck.
Richard Gere’s 24-Year-Old Son Caused a Sensation on the Red Carpet, and People Say He’s More Handsome Than His Father
Richard Gere is one of those actors who loves to keep his personal life private. However, he recently made a spectacular appearance on the red carpet. The 74-year-old actor appeared with his 41-year-old wife and 24-year-old son, Homer. The young man immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
The father-son duo looked exceptionally dapper in their elegant black suits, complemented by matching bow ties and crisp white dress shirts. Radiating charm, they delighted cameras with their warm smiles and shared a heartfelt embrace.
Fans online were surprised by how handsome Homer looked. One person gushed, saying, “Wow, his son is so good-looking!” Another described him as a “Beautiful guy!” A third person observed, “His son is more handsome than Dad […]”
Homer was born in February 2000, and he shared his name with his grandfather, Richard Gere’s dad, who passed away in 2023 at 100 years old. His mother is Gere’s second ex-wife, model and actress Carey Lowell.
Homer Gere attended Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York, and later graduated from Brown University in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and visual art, as per his LinkedIn profile. Since September 2022, he has been working as a research assistant in the therapeutic neuroscience lab at an Ivy League School of Public Health.
In a March 2024 interview with Vanity Fair Spain, Richard Gere mentioned that Homer Gere struggles to comprehend his father’s fame. Richard said, “It’s hard for him to see me on screen because, even when I play extreme characters, I’m still his father, making it hard for him to get into the story.”
Richard also revealed that Homer is beginning to follow in his footsteps by exploring his acting and musical talents. “He has just started acting and seems to enjoy it,” Richard noted. “He’s been writing and directing small films, giving us a new shared interest.”
Moreover, Richard emphasized the importance of his children learning to play an instrument. Homer initially chose the piano as a child but eventually quit. He then switched to drums, which he also didn’t stick with for long. However, a few years ago, he began playing in his own band in college and is now a vocalist in a punk band.
Another celebrity child who attracts a lot of attention is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter, Shiloh. She has taken social media by storm with her dancing.
