I plugged in my Tesla to charge last night at 1 am. It’s 8 am, the car is fully charged ready to go, and it only costs me $0.75. You can’t beat EV.

@niccruzpatane In Texas, Tesla Electric has a $15 unlimited 12am -12pm charge plan.

@niccruzpatane Where the hell do you gt $0.027/kWh???

@niccruzpatane Please post your math. This does not represent the true cost to charge for most people and is one reason people are highly misled by EV charging costs. Sure there are low rates and solar but most use grid power and in CA fully charging a Model Y at home can easily cost you $35 or

@niccruzpatane How much will it cost to replace the battery and how many miles will you drive annually? It takes allot of driving to make up for the expensive battery when considering the difference in the cost to operate a gas powered vehicle.

@niccruzpatane Brake wear, tire wear, inevitable battery failure, Can’t park indoors, range is always worse than ICE vehicle, unable to repair yourself, battery quality during winter have all entered the chat. We could also talk about the damage to earth with the sourcing and manufacturing of

@niccruzpatane Shit I accidentally charged to 100% last night and won’t go on my trip until Monday. What would you do??

@niccruzpatane Let’s see how much you can sell it for later,I have 2 model Y, 2021 and 2022,I am upside down around $15000 on each one. NO ONE WANTS TO BUY OLD IPHONE, and that’s what old Tesla is… I would be better off with 2022 rav4 hybrid as of today… or Lexus NX or RX Don’t make mistake

@niccruzpatane How do you know how much $ is in every charge ? Thank you

@niccruzpatane How are you paying about .02/kwh?

@niccruzpatane Let me know when it can do 2831 km on one tank

@niccruzpatane People who tout the fast fueling of gas pumps are severely miscalculating the value of time. 5 minutes at the pump to spend $50 = you are paying the gas station $600/hour. 7 hours charging to spend $.75 = you are paying the plug a little over $.10/hour.

@niccruzpatane I like spending $50 a week on gas tbh 😎

@niccruzpatane Since I purchased my Tesla. Month ago I’ve actually spent zero recuse my work lets me charge. If I did I would have spent $90 bucks. My F150 Raptor cost me almost 500 a month in fuel before I got Tesla. Mind blown with this thing.

@niccruzpatane After supply cost, delivery fees, tax, fees on top of fess, this guy pays 0.03 cents/kw for electric? I love EV and own a Tesla too, but cmon bro. Don’t exaggerate….you look retarded. Only other explanation for this is owning a $30k home solar system…still exaggeration.

@niccruzpatane Either you have faster than stage 1 charging. Or it wasn’t very low. Takes mine over 24 hours to get from 20% to 80% on the mobile charger.

@niccruzpatane Can’t complain about the price used to drive 88 miles round trip to work. We started to be in the the office 5 days a week since July.

@niccruzpatane Something doesn't make sense about that. You would either have solar or you are paying less than 3 cents per kWh and no place in the nation has that. and your photo shows 80% charged, not "fully charged". You should recheck your numbers :-)

@niccruzpatane 27kW in San Francisco with my home rate cost $0.43/kWhr or $0.33 if I had the EV plan. After driving 44 miles one way to work, we have free charging. Pretty much have avoided paying almost $3500 with my previous 2006 Acura TL

@niccruzpatane We'll skip the fact that it probably depreciated in value by $500 in the same 7 hour time window ☺️

@niccruzpatane Dork. Live for yourself your whole timeline is Elon Musk.

@niccruzpatane Not sure how much electricity is where you're from, but 27kwh she be at least $3.00.

@niccruzpatane 0.75 to sit on the bomb. You are cheap, brother. God help you.

@niccruzpatane 0.75 cents ?You must have plugged that to your neighbors outlet

@niccruzpatane I went to a supercharger, and it took 20 mins and cost me $11. The FSD drove me home last night in heavy traffic on the 101. Incredible.

@niccruzpatane thats so cap, 27kwh would cost 2.50$ in quebec one of the cheapest regions in all of north america for electricity. idk where you live or if you have solar panels but thats cap

@niccruzpatane Thank the rest of your community for subsidizing you poor choice

@niccruzpatane Unless you are in California!

@niccruzpatane I drove 800 miles last weekend in one straight shot. I only had to stop one time for gas. It took 10 minutes to fill up, use the bathroom and get food for the road. It's nice being able to get somewhere without planning multiple stops and wasting time. Not everyone just puts

@niccruzpatane what danger does EMF pose to the human body coming from e-vehicles?

@niccruzpatane It will be less if you use solar power. Tesla is the future

@niccruzpatane I can. I have been charging every day for almost two years (model 3 and Y) and it has cost me $0.00 in electricity. NEM 1.0 since 2012 . Waiting for Tesla V2L so I can be grid free.

@niccruzpatane In Wisconsin, my electrical rate is 18.5 per kilowatt hour. But still cheaper than adding gasoline.

@niccruzpatane Doesn’t cure gаyness

@niccruzpatane Where do you live? In California, using PG&E, the average rate is $0.32/kWh. $0.75 would only get you about 3% fuller. Superchargers cost a bit more, usually about $0.48/kWh when I use them, cheaper at night when I don’t.
