Yep, first time I think I've seen in writing that 'cleared for urban/local action' was stated so clearly. I think with all the 3 rezs with urban addresses, they knew they had to do something.

I hate guacs, but now I have finally met one I like!
SuperchargingHas anyone actually seen what the pricing would be for pay as you go supercharging?
Also Seattle, DC, Philly, and others. They've clearly decided it's time for inner city chargers.
To me it is obvious that today's announcement by Tesla is not a "response" to what any other company is doing, it simply builds on what Elon said last year about expanding the charging network.New And obviously this is not in any way a response to the charger installations that have been announced by VW as part of their "fine".
And not a response to Audi taking reservations for their announced e-tron BEV.
I think it very obviously _is_ a response. It's nice to have more info on locations but there's a bunch of long-open Superchargers that are listed as coming soon and some other errors (e.g. Fredericksburg, TX says Fredericksburg, VA in the popup). Looks like another Tesla rush job. Hopefully they'll get the data fixed quickly because it's just an embarrassment right now.
Holly molly, this is awesome!
And they are basically saying that local supercharging will be ok.
... Still cheaper than gas here in California.

Well, now that all Teslas come with 400kWh free Supercharging/year and after that it is pay-per-kW there is no longer "free unlimited Supercharging" (local or otherwise) so as the network is expanded the issue of locals hogging urban Superchargers will fade.Holly molly, this is awesome!
And they are basically saying that local supercharging will be ok.
Because the number of 40 kWh cars are no more than a rounding error in Tesla's fleet and Tesla would prefer they get unlocked to 60s, if anyone even remembers they exist. It's not worth the effort to accommodate them- of all of Tesla's priorities that wouldn't make the top 1000.I picked up on this part of the new Tesla blogpost "convenient, abundant, and reliable for all owners, current and future" and had some thoughts in an article I wrote on my blog.
Basically, I prefer to supercharge when I'm taking a trip, but some Tesla brethren still prefer to travel with their Roadsters, and some have Model S 40s which don't have supercharging capability, but have at least the relatively speedy 10kWh single charger or the 20kWh double charger options enabled (to charge at a relatively quick 58 miles per hour.)...
So, why not have a couple of stalls of HPWCs available for these owners to use. More detail here.
