    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    This is helpful. I think it helps explain my point. I didn't (and still don't) find the need for unlimited SC. It was not an option to use metered SC, when I purchased the car, the most common method today. I do not "need" SC capability and can live without it. However, there are times that...

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    The problem with Tesla service is that it like it is a phone answering systems without an "operator" option. If a problem arises that does not fit the pre-programmed "tree" in the computer system, then the problem cannot be solved by the service department. In this case, the option of PAYG-SC...

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    You are wrong about the fee. The $2,500 fee was for lifetime, unlimited supercharging period. The car has a list of specs (see image) that includes my options, such a Ultra High Fidelity Sound, Green (PMSG) (paint color, not offered now), etc. The last item on the spec list is Supercharging...

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    I bought the Model S new, I still own the car. In 2014, you could pay $2,500 for unlimited supercharging for the life of the car. At that time, the Tesla charging network did not support PAYG-SC. That is what I wanted and still want today. If they simply enable SC remotely, I could pay them...

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    I am not asking for a "freebie" the original feature which is unlimited SC; PAYG-SC was not available in 2014! I costs them nothing to let me pay them to charge my car. It is a remotely controlled software switch. It's a matter of bureaucracy at Tesla.

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    I believe there is zero cost to tesla, it is simply a software switch. One time I had to bring the car to Portland for a recall, and I told them I needed the car charged to get home. They forgot to charge it. When I picked up the car and asked, they immediately enabled SC so I could get it...

    Supercharging for an Early Model S - Can't Tesla do the right thing?

    I was an early investor in Tesla (pre IPO). On April 17 of 2014, I purchased a Model S for $80k+. I currently have 31k miles on the car. When I purchased the car, I decided to not pay the $2.5k for unlimited Supercharging (SC) since I installed a home charger and was planning on only using the...
