Are there superchargers that don’t “accept free supercharging”?

[no%X#XMVk65v#cq]

Think of a Costco example. Costco sells Grey Goose vodka but also a Kirkland branded vodka.

The Kirkland branded vodka is rumored to be made by grey goose (for this example let’s pretend that’s true).

The Kirkland version is white labeled.

Oh got it! GENERIC is term I'm familiar with.

I don't understand what "white label" means in this context?

Obviously, I’m the one who was asking the question so I don’t exactly know but I think they are saying that anything that doesn’t have a red Tesla uterus or block letters on it is now paid and that the revenue goes to whoever is buying or renting that charger from Tesla.
One potential way to solve this is to say, any of these multi-supercharger stations should have at least one Tesla branded supercharger stall.

Cheap AF

In the spring update under Navigation there's a choice to show only Superchargers with Tesla pricing. Enable that and it should eliminate the 3rd party chargers and only show you the free Tesla owned ones. Of course chargers that are owned/administrated by somebody else aren't going to be free.

Are you calling me cheap or Tesla? Or are you saying the chargers are cheap AF?

Thanks. That’s what made me aware that this was even a thing.

If one walks up to a Jim's Grocery store charger why would one expect it to be free?
It says Jim's Grocery on the charger with a picture of Jim. Might look similar by shape in usage(NACS connector) but it says Jim's not Tesla.

I think we all learned about similar but not the same in kindergarten. Maybe some first grade if lacking.


Tesla takes 10% for managing and providing a reliability guarantee of 97% in up time to the site. Yet Tesla often hovers around 99% from studies. I guess if one is a business and wants a partner for charging I couldn't think of a better yet costly investment with Tesla. Other companies suck honestly in regards to the reliability.

Yet someone has to be the cheapskate in town and whine about a problem they have never encountered, yet hope to so they can complain some more about a great thing that they could only wish they had the knowledge to run or create.

My kindergarten also taught basic manners and how not to use sociopathic tendencies to bully others into agreeing with them. Where did you go to kindergarten @Outdoors ?

I think it's slightly more nuanced than that. I had no idea there were superchargers that weren't Tesla owned.

Ok. Ya. Hmm. Truth hurts. Just say you were a whiny little something and eat your oatmeal.

He literally said right above your post thanks for letting me know this was a thing and was asking a question.. Can you show us on the diagram where Jim from Jim's groceries and fast chargers touched you?

You might have missed the post where I called him cheap. He responded with a post while I typed mine. I stand by what I said. Cheap, and complaining on intrawebs about nothing they have encountered just to complain and hear oneself speak.

Tesla has an awesome destination charger program for business. Now they are starting supercharging. Wow look at all the progress over the years. Again @hemiarch has to complain about something.

I don’t agree with your opinion on this issue amongst others. Sorry if that’s hard for you.
