Which means that people who don't spend as much time in the forum could easily think the right to use the Superchargers is what they paid for.Also he of all people should know that he didn't pay $2000 for the "right" to supercharge, he paid $2000 for the hardware and software in the car for DC charging. He bought a 60 with supercharging option and later upgraded the battery to 85 (the one and only person known to have been able to do that). This $2000 figure keeps getting thrown around as people thinking they paid that amount for supercharging. No one knows what amount of the car price goes for the capital expense of the supercharger network or for the ongoing expense.
More and more people buy the car who have not followed the company for a long time. The only solution here is to exactly outline and limit how superchargers can be used for new customers.
Just wait until companies start to open up near superchargers :scared:There's another pertinent point here, what is interesting is he has changed his use since a Supercharger opened up at his favourite restaurant.
As the roll out continues, I predict the convenience of matching the charge time to a productive task you may do anyway will simply go up. No doubt Tesla will be on this to an extent with their location targetting, but it's got to be hard as they've stated the criteria for an SpC will have nearby restroom and food facilities, which sot of puts you in those sort of areas.
