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.

2015 P85D owner too here, it sucks as I think it was charging faster, now it tapers down to 50kwh real quick. Heck it was a $125k car, feels bad every entry level Teslas now are better
This doesn't happen to my P90D with 308k miles. One of your compressors is not working up to par.
Last time I checked it takes fossil fuels to make electricity. What percentage comes from atomic, wind, or solar? Wind and solar components are very toxic to the environment after their useful life. Where are all the used Tesla batteries going to be disposed at? Yes, the climate has been changing since the beginning of time. Not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
All provably false arguments made by provably stupid people. Next!
If chemistry has improved significantly, why is the warranty shorter and why are they expecting a significant range loss?
and you really expect Tesla to just increase rate of charge the day after the 8yr/unlimited warranty is done on a car? what were you thinking when you said that?
what does the age of my pack have to do with anything? as long as the cells hold the charge and cooling is fine it can handle it. your pack doesn't get brittle with age. the wiring in packs can handle 10x the power traveling through them now.
Seriously though, do Teslas use conventional coolant to keep batteries, wiring, electronics and perhaps motors, generators (the ones that feed off the regenerative inductive brakes) and other parts cool, using an electric motor-based pump since obviously there's no crankshaft to mechanically turn one over? Or do they use an entirely different cooling system? And if the former, is that basically one of the relatively few legacy subsystems on a Tesla, along with conventional pads and rotors and perhaps steering?
And how user-serviceable are they, for people who can work on ICE-based vehicles?
That company claims a 5% recycle rate. Elon recently sat down with the Indonesian delegation to try and secure raw materials for battery production. There's obviously not going to be enough to go around since all the others are ramping up claiming high production numbers. In addition, the infrastructure is just not there yet to support the masses. Electric grids are already strained in areas. Maybe in another 10-15 years this will all iron out and prices will come down. Elon has the edge with a 30% profit margin while the others are around 15%.

They use the a/c system. Family member had a leak in his 2014 S. Shop at the dealership ordered the wrong piece of plumbing so they just topped off his freon with dye to make sure they isolated the leak for when the new part comes in.. Very low availability on loaners as for uber and or rentals are alot more stingy than in the past. Repair like this is probably better off at the dealership. Don't know about taking it anywhere else unless they've done the repair before. Consumer reports have repeatedly put this brand near the bottom of the list.
Charging time is decent these days. Tesla is killing it - almost 1000 miles per hour for 250kw chargers. So for like half tank it's 10 minutes or so. I have free unlimited charging anyways but mostly charge at home - 4 hours with 32 miles per hour usually enough
600 pumps nationwide? We have that many gas pumps in a 20 mile radius of where I live.
Which is also within the radius of the most poweful Tesla station in the country. Which isn't on that free list and also isn't advertised as such due to the ego blow it would be to west coast that they don't have it.
The state with the most number of Tesla Superchargers locations in the US is California, with 282 locations, which is 20% of all Tesla Superchargers locations in America. As of May 2022 Tesla is building the world's largest Supercharger station in Mojave California between Los Angeles & Las Vegas. China currently has the world's largest. Sorry Texas

This is what you wrote:
"Tesla allows faster charging on cars after they stopped the 8yr/unlimited mile warranty for 1 big reason; They want your car to die faster and sell you a new one."
Are you changing your stance? Your arguments are conflicting and confusing.
Age has everything to do with the charging rate of the pack. Claiming otherwise is just plain ignorance. Take a chemistry class, do more research.

Then back up your statement numb nuts.
Of course, people who deny human-caused climate change are probably too stupid to know how stupid they are. Kruger-Dunning Effect.

Next thing, you'll probably show how fossil fuel use is going steadily down and that solar and wind equipment is not very toxic, whatever that means!
