The model and influencer, from Sheffield, Yorkshire, claims that she was called “dumb” and “fake” over the mishap, which gained over 40 million views.
She told the Daily Star: “I mean [Tesla founder] Elon Musk even said it himself, habits die hard.
“I honestly don’t know what I was doing, it was the end of a long day and the car is brand new.
“I just rolled up into the petrol station thinking about the sweets I was going to get from the counter rather than the fact my car doesn’t actually need petrol.”
However, Danielle insisted that she doesn’t care what people think and is used to being judged due to her work as an adult content creator on Fanvue.
She explained: “I’m so used to being called fake. Fake boobs, fake this, fake that. People online can say what they want but it was an embarrassing mistake.
“People weren’t nice. People were calling me dumb, attacking what I was wearing and the way I looked.
“They were even saying it’s not my car and I’ve got more money than sense, which was probably the most frustrating.

“I’ve earned every penny to buy this and I love cars. It really is a dream come true to own a Tesla.”
Despite all the nasty comments, Danielle feels she’s had the last laugh, saying that she rakes in £60,000 a month on her subscription site.
She added: “I’ve learnt there’s no point replying to the hate. I just focus on all my fans who love my content.
“People are just so jealous when you’ve worked hard and achieved something, and they turn nasty because of it.
“But they should turn around and have a look at themselves before judging others.”
“People always turn their nose up at content creation and think it’s an easy job but you have to be business-minded to be able to make it into the top earners.
“It’s a 24/7 job that you’re constantly having to grow, and you’re usually doing it all on your own. It’s just as hard work as working in the City.”
She even gave a cheeky shout-out to Elon Musk, asking the billionaire to “hit me up” to “share some ideas on the next Tesla“.
