Rookie Tesla owner and TikToker EM LUCIN (@emlucin) recently took viewers on a journey as she charged her Tesla at a charging station for the very first time.
“It’s actually so easy,” she commented after some viewers expressed their initial concerns that the charging process seemed complicated.
After a couple of minor hiccups typical for a first attempt, she found the process to be straightforward. With just a couple of taps on the vehicle’s touchscreen, she plugged in her EV to start charging, documenting the process in a video.
While some commenters focused on the initial fumbling and the wait time, suggesting that filling their vehicles with gasoline is faster, the experience appeared simple to EM LUCIN. During the 23-minute charging period, she and her dog listened to an audiobook while the Tesla charged from 44% to 81%.
Transitioning from a gas-powered vehicle to an EV presents several advantages for the car owner and the environment. A significant factor is the potential for cost savings, as charging an EV is generally less expensive than filling a gas tank. EVs also typically have lower maintenance costs because they don’t require oil changes and have fewer moving parts prone to wear and tear. In addition, there are potential tax savings for EV owners, and electric vehicles have a positive impact on the environment.
While some commenters on TikTok expressed concerns about the charging process, the OP felt that the benefits of EV ownership far outweighed the problems.
One commenter, @big.mac6965, pointed out that, “you don’t get this problem with a petrol car.” The OP responded, “You get worse problems such as yearly services and huge petrol costs.”
Another commenter, @truthseeker4thepeople, provided a more supportive perspective, stating, “The more people who buy an electric vehicle, the better… it’s great, I love it.”
