Question: If someone said they would pay for a full tank of fuel for you, every time you needed one with the condition that you had to pay them £5 and wait an average of 45 minutes for them to arrive at the petrol station would you sign up?
the small print would be that if you agree, you would always have to do it this way, and couldn't go back to paying for your own fuel.

Slightly strange question. Why would this happen?
If a tank of fuel costs fifty quid, so you'd save forty five quid, so it's effectively getting paid sixty quid an hour. More than most earn I'd imagine.

I presume he isn't taking into account the fact that a Tesla Model 3 is rather expensive.

Can you confirm there are absolutely no other costs involved here, you start saving money from the first fill? i.e. I don't need to buy a very expensive car first, or if I need a different car it will be a straight swap for my old one.the small print would be that if you agree, you would always have to do it this way, and couldn't go back to paying for your own fuel.

Also can you confirm the availability of this almost free tank of fuel in 45 minutes is as good as petrol, even in rural areas?

If it was near a coffee shop/hotel, and I was mid journey, and could sit and work for the 45 mins with a coffee, and it gave me c300 miles. Possibly. Even better if I didn't have to pay at all.the small print would be that if you agree, you would always have to do it this way, and couldn't go back to paying for your own fuel.

I'd also think about getting an 80% 'full tank' for 20mins whilst I grabbed a coffee and emptied my bowels.
Does that answer your question, Elon?
