Imagine cruising in your Tesla, only to find yourself stranded with a dead battery.
That’s exactly what happened to a Tesla Model 3 owner who had to face the awkward situation of towing her car to a charging station.
The sight of the sleek EV being hauled by a tow truck was enough to make anyone feel bad but laugh at the same time.
But it’s the kind of situation some EV owners might be able to relate to, or at least could imagine happening to them.

Embarrassing moment for TikTok user as Tesla car was towed to a charging station
Sure, opting for EVs saves a lot of money on gas, but they come with their own drawbacks, too.
The owner, who goes by @carodd on TikTok, shared a video of the entire scene, making light of the embarrassing moment.

Driving a Tesla Model 3 is usually smooth sailing, thanks to its impressive range of about 363 miles on a full charge for the Long Range version.
But even the best EVs need careful planning to avoid situations like this.
People were quick to comment on her video, sharing their thoughts on the whole situation.
How people reacted to the situation
One user admitted: “Omg, I literally always wondered what happens if my battery dies.”
The poster responded: “Hahah I know right. This is what eventually happens.”
Another person hilariously compared the situation to an ambulance ride, saying: “It’s like going to the hospital in an ambulance.”
To avoid this kind of trouble, Tesla recommends keeping your car’s battery above 20% and using the Tesla app to plan charging stops.
With Superchargers conveniently located in many areas, running out of charge doesn’t have to be part of your journey.
After all, not everyone can afford to install a Tesla Supercharger on his private island like Oracle CTO Larry Ellison.
While Carodd’s situation was embarrassing, it’s good to see that she handled it with humor.
