On X, Sattar left people in awe after showing increadible money he saved fuel over six months, also revealing his journey of fuel saving from a Tesla car.

But the key to Sattar's success doesn't stop there. A few months ago, he shared an electric bill showing that he was putting wattage into the grid rather than drawing from it. The secret? Solar panels. 

Using solar energy to power homes has been a long-standing tactic for saving money. 

Additionally, Sattar also shared that he uses solar panels to complement electric vehicles, further reducing costs.  Image Credits: Getty

Sattar's post quickly went viral on social media and sparked discussion. 

One person said: I haven't seen any electric cars in my area when the weather hits -30 or colder.

A second wrote: If I were to buy something different that straight gas, it would be a hybrid. Good economy that still usable in cold weather and don’t have to plug them in.

While a third commented: But in reality the cost of a Tesla is vastly more to begin with

Another added: And what do they with the old battery as it can’t be recycled

Why is his solar outlay not considered in the cost. If I were to build an oil well and refinery in my backyard does that mean my fuel is free. Another added.

On social media, Tesla drivers shared that their electric bill for an entire year was astonishingly low, totaling just $2.37.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the Tesla driver had a special device installed: a Tesla Powerwall.

This lithium-ion battery, with a capacity of 13.5kWh and a 100% depth of discharge, ensures optimal utilization of stored energy.

Not only does the Powerwall serve as a backup during power outages, but it also enables users to potentially go off the grid.

While a single Powerwall comes with a price tag of $11,500, discounts are available for those considering multiple units, making it an attractive option for those seeking a comprehensive home energy solution.
