Right. So that some people can continue to abuse the privilege. Why should Tesla have to do anything? They've met their commitment to build out a network. Done. Tesla is well within their rights to claim 'well, we built stations like we said we would ... no more!'. That's the unintended consequence of claiming it's fine to take advantage of the system. They could quit expanding. Then what little textual loophole will people fall back on? It was a great surprise when Supercharging was made available at no cost for long-distance travel. It saddens me to see people arguing it is now their right to use it how they want.
I will reiterate since some are claiming the messaging has changed: On Day One, it was claimed that superchargers were for long-distance travel. That message has been consistent.
Your comment is very biased on your prior views. Probably from reading some other thread. Please keep emotions out of the discussion and take the objective view before jumping to conclusions.
OK now to respond to what you are saying about tesla not doing anything. Yup I totally agree. Once they build enough to meet enable long distance travel through the country, there is no need for them to build anymore. Because of this decision, the user experience will slowly degrade overtime for obvious reason. They will sell less cars. The competitors will see this and capitalize on this and build a better experience and out do tesla. Tesla cease to exist.
Look I know tesla will not do that. They will address the problem somehow by doing some, if not all, of what recommend. Funny how you just highlighted the things that hurts tesla monetarily all because of the way they sold the free supercharging station. Though I disagree with people saying Tesla said before supercharging was
solely for long distance travel, I am going to assume they did say that. Well then, what about those city dwellers without ability to charge? Seems like they are the culprits who are getting the letters. Yeah great job Tesla, eliminate a sizable chunk of your market.
This is why I know tesla meant free supercharging for
ALL initially to help sell the car (unlike LEAF and BMW which only had 2 years free charging on certain network after tesla announce their free charging).
Lets say they did said supercharging was mainly for long distance travel, does this exclude daily local charging? Nothing was mentioned in the beginning. It was not like they said, even though supercharging was meant for long distance travel, we will actively
discourage local daily supercharging. Funny how people's logic work when they are biased.
It would be simpler if you just say, Tesla
failed to make it clear what their intentions were initially and everyone would be happy. If Tesla made this case in the beginning, I would definitely charge at home and would never have brought this idea up.
