Nice, so the whole "supercharging isn't for local use" thing just went out the window. Now they are saying that new centers will be built specifically designed to accommodate local supercharging. Interesting development.
Charging Is Our Priority
Honestly Tesla would be screwing itself if it actively avoided local charging. A lot of prospective owners don't have a place they can park overnight and charge, especially in urban locations. It made way too much sense for Tesla to just charge for supercharging (and they did), and just let people charge how and where they please. Why not!?
Charging should be like laundry/laundromat.
I should be able to use a laundromat if I need to, but it is hugely convenient to have your own washer/dryer at home.
Apartment dwellers: Some people who don't have space for a washer/dryer will always prefer to use the laundromat.
Home owners who have just moved, or haven't figured out getting the charger installed: Some people whose washer breaks down may want to use the laundromat.
Temporarily assigned somewhere for work: And others who are away from home, or moving, can use the laundromat until they figure out the laundry situation at home.
100D: Some will carry a large suitcase when travelling
110v: Or you can handwash
Go to Nissan dealer and use chademo: Some will wear their underwears inside out.
I think it's great and almost required that we will have loads of superchargers, and just charge people a fee slightly higher than charging at home. I feel that's totally acceptable as long as it's cheaper than the price of gas to offset the "quick charging of an ICE" convenience.
