Tesla Memorial Day Weekend Offer: Select Tesla Supercharging Locations Expired

There is so much hate for Tesla its kind of funny. I have a M3-SR and its the most practical car i own out of 3. (other two are gas guzzlers -1 of them is a track car 6 speed manual) . By Far the Tesla is the cheaper option for me to drive and the most convenient. I charge at home and every morning its always ready to go the 190 miles i have my charging limit set at. I rarely go longer. I live in SoCal and have Solar so electric bill is not a problem, On long drives (say Bay area) i would hit most of the charging stations that are on the free list and this promo would be use full for thousands of tesla owners traveling the same route that weekend. Lots of people asked the question how long and how much does it cost if it was not free. Below you will find a road trip i did to Central Cal. I charged 4 times in between as we took a bit of a scenic route at times. Depending on the amount of charge i took each time- none were over 20 minutes in length. (most spent in restrooms or restaurants grabbing a bite)

Overall Supercharger is meant to be used for trips and is still cheaper than GAS but this argument of having to wait 20 minutes to charge is not really a case for 99% of days as my car never drivers more than 100 miles on any regular days and comes home at night to charge back up. I feel like fueling up and waiting for the tank to fill up is a longer wait than charging my tesla at home. Also waiting in line as a Costco Gas station would be way more than the 20 minutes. Its also not for everyone, Same trip in a modern SUV would cost me about $150 for gas with current Gas prices at $6.29 a gallon.(91-Oct)

Also- People bitching here are mostly the ones not owning one and this post is of no relevance to people who dont even drive a tesla but are here just for the troll :p. The below info is for the people who have showed an honest interest in learning something new or considering a TSLA

12/28/2021 Tejon Ranch, CA Supercharging $4.08
17 kWh @ $0.24/kWh$4.08

12/28/2021 Buttonwillow, CA Supercharging $12.16
32 kWh @ $0.38/kWh$12.16

12/26/2021 San Luis Obispo, CA - Higuera St. Supercharging $6.84
18 kWh @ $0.38/kWh$6.84

12/26/2021 Santa Barbara, CA Supercharging $13.30
35 kWh @ $0.38/kWh$13.30

That's not it. It's like asking someone on the internet how much insurance they pay, it varies based on location and situation.

Tesla M3LR has 82kwh battery in Virginia at 12c/kWh it could cost $9.84 for full battery, in California at 26 c/kwh could be $21. Others charge free at work (me), free at apartment complex, have membership plans, supercharge only, etc. etc.

Usually the average person saves a lot on gas and leaves house with full charge. IMO after getting used to charging, it's so simple and routine.

Define 'normal charge'.

If you mean from <20% to 80%, about 15-20 minutes if car is preconditioned. It's a walk to restroom, get a cup of coffee, and a few minutes to scroll-length of time.
