Tesla charged S/X owners $2,000 for "free" supercharging for life. Based on my first 3 years of S ownership, Tesla's making a lot of margin from me on that part of the car. I'm OK with that, I love having low-friction fast charging on long trips.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoCurrently on the Canadian configurator for the S, free supercharging is a standard feature. I thought the only car that didn't include supercharging was the P40, which they cancelled and never delivered (delivering instead software limited P60's to those who preordered the P40). So when they charged $2000, what happened if you didn't pay the $2000? No access to supercharging, or paid access to supercharging? Charging a flat rate is even worse than giving it away, IMO. Many people have the mindset that if they had to pay for it, they're going to make sure they get full value for their dollars.
