The number keeps going up every time I see someone post about it lol
This article had more info than the last one I saw floating through the feed (The article I saw had been "enhanced" by AI writing and you could tell).
In this article "A couple from Edinburgh was shocked after receiving a £17,374 (A$33,370) bill"
The last article floating through the feed didn't really cover any real ponts about what happened and seemed to be targeting Elon in a negative scope.
This article had information about the issue they faced when attempting to leave and waiting 5~ hours for Tesla RSA. Then calling Tesla and talking to a manager that that was covering Tesla's ass with warranty talk.
Were the currencies the same? In CAD it would read like something similar to $28,961.42.
All the posts keep using the $ symbol. But I bet that's exactly what's going wrong.
Earlier it was listed at 17k Euro which is only $18k USD or $28k AUD. Somehow it does keep rising.
From the article.
Them exchange rates be crazy. I wonder if it really fluctuated $5k between the time of the article and when I looked it up yesterday.
That's why I mentioned it, it gets me sometimes lol
