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.

A Scottish couple has been confronted with a £17,374 (A$33,370) bill after their Tesla Model Y wouldn't start after a night out.

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.
