My six months of free supercharging (which was inexplicably extended three months) was better than a fixed quantity and for someone who really drives it would be even better. I just crossed over 10,000 miles and have two days left. Since free supercharging isn't tracked (at least for the owner) I can't say for sure how many miles of charging I've gotten out of it, but I figure its at least half, and likely quite a bit more (my daily commute is a mere 10 miles so that only accounts for about 20%).
Still, 2,000 miles is a sizable fraction. I calculate about $130 based on M3 efficiency and the $0.28/kWh pricing.

I’d get a new car ever 9 months or so. Never got an oil change (except my work truck). My Tesla holds the record for longest held car (and stonk!) of a year and a half
Also forgot about my BMW M2... that thing was lemoned pretty quickly lol
It sure is. It's on the history tab of your Tesla account. Granted, it's not summed up for you, but you can add the kWh from each session.
One thing that really excites me is Tesla’s new battery development. There is a trifecta of improvements coming in the next year(s)
1. New chemistry with increased performance, longevity and cost
2. Maxwell dry electrode with increased energy density and production speed and costs
3. Tesla cell production with a target of 2TWh/y and Grohmann improvements with increased production and cost savings
I don’t think many in the industri are realizing what a big change this is compared to Teslas incredible growth from Roadster to Model 3. Before they were small and had to use industry standard technology and were fighting to get it competitive with fossil fuel. Now they have grown into a large company, have had the time to get experience, time to invest into research and have done some major acquisitions. And it all lines up to this next phase for the company.
We will see semis going nonstop for years without needing battery replacements. We will see electric boats and airplanes being viable due to density and costs. We will see cheaper better electric vehicles. We will see many other markets being enabled due to the cheaper better batteries. It’s a game changer for the entire industry. And everyone seems to believe that Tesla is still Tesla 2012 but with a cheaper mass market car. They don’t see this next disruptive combination of improvements right around the corner.

After a couple of weeks with blue jeans.
The indigo seems to be the culprit not most clothes.
Bjorn mentioned blue jeans stain, because he knows it well.

That's.... really freaking clever.
(Seriously, if you're on Twitter and you don't follow this SoylentBrown guy, you should be heading over and doing so right this moment)

After a couple of weeks vs a day/couple days butts in/out of seats all day at Frankfurt auto show.
Plus the ventilation holes in the pleather in the Tesla caused rips.
Either way most people buy vehicles to use for many years/km and both light colored seats would be a PITA to keep clean.

When Randy makes prognostications about Tesla it all seems very well thought out,reasonable and probable.
Then he ends up being wrong. At least the prognostications I have read.
I've just poked around on both the interwebs and the app, and I can't find anything like what you posted. How do you get to it?

No it isn't. At first it didn't say anything about supercharging. Now at least it tells me when it expires. In the car it always says there are no prior super charging sessions and in my account it only says when it ends. I've checked in the car every time I've supercharged and just now verified in the account.

I'm pretty sure that's the guy people were quoting for saying Tesla cars are already learning routes as you drive them. I guess you follow him? Is that something he has really said?

Weird. Your payment history is empty? Strange that they'd record some free Supercharging and not others.

After logging into Tesla.com you do not see 'history' on the menu? Shows (almost) all my supercharging sessions.

This confirms it. 4 motors will also have benefit as you can now regen and accelerate at different ratio on each wheels. Creating a perpetual motion machine
I think you're misunderstanding. This is about torque vectoring: you want one side braking (regen) and the other side accelerating, to torque the vehicle. If you do it right, you can (mostly) leave the battery pack out of the picture, and thus not introduce any losses or waste heat from charge/discharge.
Also, vs. selectively braking wheels, selectively regenning one side has a lot of big advantages.
