Tesla owner shares detailed breakdown of running costs revealing it costs just $0.023 per mile

A Tesla owner has detailed how much money it cost for a year of charging the car - and it turns out that it's pretty cost effective.

Teslas were one of the first premium electric cars to hit the roads, and its Model Y has gone on to become one of the best electric vehicles around (according to Top Gear).

As of this year, its predicted that five million Teslas are on the road worldwide - 12,000 of which are the car company's infamous Cybertruck.

Another popular car of Teslas is its Model 3, and YouTuber and car reviewer Lorraine, who goes by CallasEV on her social media platforms, has recently given an update on a six-year-old car.

Over this time period, the owner has driven 132,289 miles - 16,000 of which were done over the last 12 months.

Maintenance wise, Lorraine says they spent just over $173 to upkeep the car. Some of this cash went towards two new air filters, as well as the wheels being rotated every 6,000-7,000 miles.

Going on to reveal data from the owner's Tesla app, it showed how much they've spent charging their Tesla over the year.

While many of us are spending hundreds of dollars a month to power our homes, this person's car cost just $375 to charge over a 12 month period, working out to be $0.023 per mile. Pretty good, right?

And the price to run a Tesla isn't the only thing people have been raving about of late; the car's battery health is another thing.

In a YouTube clip shared to Telsa Joy's channel last year, she revealed a friend of hers, Lawrence, had traveled an impressive 160,000 in just under five years.

While the quality of your car can drastically decrease if you're doing a lot of mileage, this guy found that his Tesla's battery health had hardly been affected.

From data collected on his Tesla management app Tessie, Lawrence said that he thinks his car battery may have lost somewhere between eight to 11 percent degradation (the gradual process by which a battery's ability to store and deliver energy decreases).

Despite this, Lawrence insisted that he doesn't really notice any difference unless he's actively tracking it.

Purchasing it new in 2018, Lawrence went on to gush about how much he still loved his car 160,000 miles later.

It's incredible because I still love this car," he said. "I still remember the day I drove it off the Tesla lot and the feeling of the pedals and everything, and I feel like it's 100 percent - maybe 99 percent, something like that - similar."
