charging electric cars ain't free.
- mmelin 13y agoNo, but using the Tesla Supercharger stations is free for Model S owners.
- Agathos 13y agoIt costs $80,000 but it comes with a free car.
- bhauer 13y agoSo it's built into the price of the Model S and TANSTAAFL and all that. The point being that you don't do a transaction at the supercharger station in the same way you do at a gas station. Theoretically, you could use a supercharger station multiple times a day and pay nothing additional. It's like the "free maintenance" on BMWs. Or "free loaner cars" when your car is in for service. Seems pretty nitpicky to point out that it's not in fact free. Whatever it is, it's quite a bit different than chucking some dollars at Chevron or whomever.
