"22-year-old Danielle Wright was filmed pulling up at the pump and then frantically trying to locate the vehicle's fuel filler cap. With the fuel nozzle in hand, she circled the car to find the fuel cap door, and she only gave up when people repeatedly told her it's an electric car.

"Wright, who describes herself as a digital creator, said she had had a long day when the video was taken. She added that her Model Y was also very new the then, so old habits kicked in."
