A Tesla owner has shared what their bill looks like 10 months into owning a Tesla Model S and people can’t believe the cost.
If you have ever wondered how much it costs to run the electric vehicle then look no further as one Tesla owner has lifted the lid.
Taking to social media, the user shared a screenshot of their bills so far, and people were shocked to see that it is drastically lower than a gas-guzzling alternative.

On Reddit, the person said: “10 months into owning a Tesla Model S and we’re saving cash.”
In the image, it shows how the Tesla owner has spent $1,887 in the last 10 months while running the vehicle.
This is cheap compared to gas, which would have cost around $4,705 for the same time frame, meaning that running the Tesla vehicle has saved the user a whopping £2,818.
This prompted a lot of responses from others, with one person writing: “Holy balls you've driven a lot in 10 months. I've had my Model S for about 10 months as well and my gas equivalent charge is only around $1200 lmao with $1000 in savings.”

Another said: “People who diss Tesla are completely oblivious to the incredible cost savings. Most don’t even care to know. It’s an incredible phenomenon.”
A third commented: “Gas must be calculated based on premium because there is no way regular gas was averaging $4.20 in this state.”
And a fourth user added: “Too bad depreciation has probably negated any savings on gas, at least in my case.”
In other Tesla news, people were left in complete disbelief after YouTuber Harley Perkins took a $70,000 Tesla into a car-buying service to see how much it’s worth after just one year.

Making the trip to WeBuyAnyCar, which is a car buying service in the UK that purchases vehicles directly from the public, the YouTuber first explained that he had bought the Tesla Model Y a year prior.
The influencer went on to say that he had driven less than 15,000 mile in the car so far and had spotted the same model going for around £37,000 ($50,322) on AutoTrader.
However, much to his shock, the YouTuber was told by a representative of the car buying company that the Tesla would be worth just £27,132 ($36,896), almost half of what he forked out a year ago for the American vehicle.
