Quote from FishKilla :
So what you are saying here confirms what a lot of people think. That a Tesla is basically like a smartphone and this guys 8 years old car is past it's useful life. I mean he would have to replace his battery to be useful. Is that going to be every 8 years or so? I mean his is antiquated now, right? And technology changes so fast that in another 8 years your battery as well as his new one will be antiquated requiring replacement?
If it is working, its still useful. Being useful and being top of the line technology are not the same thing. Simply because it doesn't work as well as a new item, doesn't mean it requires replacement. Kinda thought that would be obvious to anyone with more than a room temperature IQ.

If you have to put words into someones mouth to make your point, it just means you never had a valid point to begin with.

Quote from Chadeus :
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.
I'm going to have this printed on a card and give to every person that asks "How long does it take to charge?"

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

Not having to stop to fuel up ever is better. I've had electric cars for over 3 years and had to use a supercharger maybe 10 times in total. 4 of those were on a road trip.
I wouldnt buy a electric car until Toyota comes up with solid state battery

SD'ers will drive way out of their way for a deal. Sometimes striking out when you get there. This is FREE! So why the hate?

And I don't ever hear any brands like Shell/Chevron giving out free gas before 10am.

So much politics in Tesla posts. Very very roughly, the cost to supercharge is about the cost of gas. There's not a huge point to compare since gas can be anywhere between 2 and 6 dollars a gallon.

This is a great deal because Tesla is basically giving away free gas! ...but not for me since I'm in Oregon.

You're complaining about $4.50 gas? It's $7.29 in Cali

It's not about hating Tesla. If you think about it, it just makes sense. If you spend some $70 grand to buy a Tesla, you have got to find every possible reason to justify your spending. People who don't own Tesla are because they can't afford it or find a better way to invest their money to make more money instead of spending some $70 grands to buy something to impress their neighbors or the ladies. Hence the hates. It just makes sense.

Why Toyota, specifically? Aren't other companies working on Solid State Batteries?

Is it true that there's more incidents of people keying Tesla vehicles or is that just because there's more cameras on a Tesla? Most videos I see are of boomers keying the Tesla cars lol
