Not missing this

[Hans L]

Just finished using the Supercharger in Sorento Valley in San Diego after completing a 500 mile round trip to Santa Barbara and back and saw this - wow:



Total cost for the 500 mile trip in my Model 3: $13 in SC charges. Had I driven my ICE powered SUV, easily would have cost me $120 in fuel costs....!

It cost me $34 for my 500 mile trip.
Our ICE gets about 28 mpg and at $4.80, it would have cost $86.

 

[NathanielHrnblwr]

wow that's expensive for no name gas. I saw it break $4 but nothing like that.

Unfortunately, I have an older Land Rover Disco. 11 mpg in the city. 15 mpg highway - on a good day, going downhill....

About to do a 1700 mile road trip. Won't be paying a penny in fuel cost with the free supercharging. ^_^

You mean 5000(+ forgone opportunity costs) - road
Trip - cumulative supercharging right?

Nothing is free my friend, not even death.

Meh. dying is free. You yourself don't pay for a damn thing once you kick the bucket. Family or friends on the other had get to pony up for your carcass to get buried!

If you left a body to be buried, you didn't dedicate yourself to dying awesomely.

My mom says that if she dies with a nickel left in her pocket she will have miscalculated.

Do the high fuel taxes result in dramatically better maintained roads or public transportation? Also, do you pay surcharge for annual registration since you don’t pay fuel taxes? Here is GA we get screwed and pay a surcharge that assumed we are driving 20k miles per year in a car that gets 15 miles/gallon.

I can tell the cost of gas is going up by the longer lines at Costco's gas station.....

 

[billh13850]

I smile every time I drive by a gas station. I smile a lot.

I tell my Gas/diesel vehicle fans about the 5Ps= Punishment for Polluting the Planet, Pain at the Pump

 

[Voltear]

Don’t really want to do this, but have thought about pulling up to gas station here (in New Jersey) where they still pump gas just to see the kid’s face looking for the gas cap!

 

[Lasairfion]

Based on today's exchange rates, we're paying around US $6.42 per US Gallon here in the UK (average £1.30 per litre cost)

 

[billh13850]

I have to say, when it came time to fire up my snowblower, I did feel a bit sheepish driving to the gas station in my Tesla and then pulling out and filling the little gallon can. Took days for the gasoline stank to fade out of the car.

We’re at the equivalent of $4.80 per gallon here.

This I don't miss, siting in line waiting to fill up at Costco or other gas station because theyre the only ones with a decent (ha!) price.

 

[zacyee]

That gas station is always overpriced relative to others in the area. They presumably prey on the fact that they're the only one within a two mile radius and at the bottom of a decent hill so you're not going to make it if you're running on fumes.

What is the cost of electricity for charging? do you get a cheap overnight rate as we do here on a time of use plan?
