Tesla Motors Club
I ordered my 85D for June delivery and I'm totally excited. But the more I think about it and look at the map these superchargers are very limiting. I also read lots of posts about crowded superchargers or having to go out of the way.
So my question to all of you is would you pay for a supercharger? Think about it there are gas stations and rest stops dotted all over the U.S. that have plenty of space for 6-8 parking spots. And what a business that would be to have customers come in pay to charge and have 20-30 minutes of time to waste in your shops to spend more money. Think about it if you paid $.50 per kwh a stop for 50 kwh would cost you about $25. That would give the station about $12-15 profit. At about 20 cars a day that would be $86,400 per year not including what you spend in the store. Those numbers would make good business sense. Also, keep in mind with the addition of 500,000 Tesla in 2020 there is no way these super chargers can keep up.
Tell me what you think.
