And don't forget, a busy gas station sells a gazillion gallons of gas every month -- better to cover average costs. SuperChargers sit empty most of the day. Average costs?
Good points. Also talking with the managers of QTs and Circle Ks here in Arizona, it’s not the gas that is the profit center and covering operational costs, it’s all the candy, beer, lotto, food and convenience items that people buy along with the gas.
No way Tesla should be looking to become a gas station. What would alleviate this would be the multiple people abusing the unlimited supercharging by supercharging locally.
Hopefully some of the local supercharging abuse will be alleviated when many of the Referral 6 month free people run out of free supercharging.
