    Model S and X cost more than Model 3...the cost of unlimited supercharging for your life is imbedded in the added cost. So, it was never free. Instead of making the MSRP higher, the M3 is lower + charging fees. In the end, it is probably still less than an S or X.

    I think what he meant is that originally there was an idea of 1000 miles free a year that would cover most people's holiday trips.

    At 3 miles/kWH and $0.20/kWH (CA, see Supercharging), that's $67 we're talking about here.

    I was told by my DS yesterday that it would be "cheaper than a tank of gas".

    So $17 for 85kWh which gives me roughly 200 miles? I'd say the math works out.

    @GasDoc What was your energy consumption on your way back home? Speed, city/hwy?

    Congrats @GasDoc!

    Opinion on if 2 rear-facing car seats - 1 infant, 1 convertible - will be okay in the backseat? Not concerned with width as much as I am with space between the car seats and front seats... oh, and I'm 6'2".

    Thanks!

    Actually 6.7 cents per mile is somewhat cheaper than 13.6 cents per mile for our BMW (25 mpg with $3.40 gal of gas)

    At home we are paying about 3.8 cents per mile for our MS.

    any chance you can say what came with the car? did you by chance have 2 charging cables? was it 2 adapters as well (5-15, 14-50)? etc.

    Of course we all know that supercharging is included in the cost. But Tesla advertises it as “free for life” on Model S/X. And when Elon says “free long distance” I interpreted that to mean long distance kWh were baked into the base price. At any rate the point is moot as this is not the case.

    ...this is why one should invest in solar. My system had paid for itself in less than 10 years. My power could be considered free now.

    Production date on paperwork says "12/2017". Not much info to gather from that.

    I sat in the left back seat while person driving was 5'10". Although we did not have a rear facing seat, I would say it would easily fit. Way more room than a BMW 3 series.
