- Arnold Schwarzenegger gifted her a car
You may not directly link Arnold Schwarzenegger to Greta Thunberg. But the two have more in common than you may think. Namely their passion to do something against climate change. In 2018, the bodybuilding legend expressed his admiration for her when he tweeted about how impressed he was by her. The two finally met in person at a climate conference in Austria in may 2019, and Scharzenegger posted a photo of their encounter on social media, stating that he was ‘starstruck’ by Thunberg. He then offered to lend her his electric Hummer while she was in the US. However, this was not practical so he instead gifted her a Tesla Model 3 electric car. The car has a range of up to 358 miles on a single charge and produces zero emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly choice than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
Thunberg has used her Tesla to travel to various events and protests, and has often tweeted about her experiences with electric car travel. She has also used her platform to encourage others to consider switching to electric vehicles as a way to reduce their carbon footprint and combat climate change. So if you’re thinking of going electric, maybe take a cue from Greta and Schwarzenegger – these two are leading the charge for a greener future.
