  I charge at home and it works just fine. I pay $0.25-$0.28/kwh. It puts the cost of a full 75kwh battery at ~$19. That’s still cheaper than paying $4.5-$5/gallon at the gas station. In fact, even if I charge at the supercharger during peak hours, it costs at most the same as buying gas.

    Comparing cost of full battery to full tank is meaningless because the ranges are different. How much does it cost to drive 100 miles on model 3 vs say Camry hybrid. My calculations showed that differences are not significant at my $.35 per kWh rate and $4.5 per gallon. Of course camry hybrid costs thousands of dollars less than tesla* and has a range of 500 miles. * my household does not qualify for income based incentives
