I thought for sure this was going to be the crux of the original September 2012 supercharger announcement, since it solves so many SC issues at once (leasing the land, parking access, what do do while charging, how to make money while people are charging, etc.). It would be nice to see it today, especially if it rapidly accelerates the rollout of SCs...and I mean ten or twenty new sites a month, with full coverage across the US by end of the year.
Yep, exactly. I think this is the only one that really works. There are lots of other good ideas here, but they all have too many reasons why they don't fit with this announcement. For example, acceleration of GenIII just isn't going to happen. Leasing, while important at some point, would just accelerate demand, which isn't the main focus at the moment, since they're production constrained and also doesn't fit with Elon's categorization as potentially more important than the profitability announcement yesterday. Now, the question in my mind is - just how big of a positive would the expansion of the charging network be?
