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

[Beyond]

Thought that this match might be a ten rounder but then it morphed into 15 rounds. Almost was ended with a TKO, but now it's become a tag team match. Kind of cute actually.

Edit: The cut experts are working in the 2 corners, smelling salts activated. Next round should be a doozy.

So everyone is doing it. Why not join in. Asked Grok to explain this simple concept to a potential small minded Tesla owner that didn't finish reading and comprehension skills or they stopped in maybe 2nd grade.

"It's like McDonald's giving you a free drink with your meal ticket, but expecting every other restaurant to give you free soda too. Your unlimited Supercharging was a perk Tesla built and paid for to sell cars — that's their network, so it's free for you. But those grocery store chargers aren't Tesla's — a private business bought the equipment and pays the electric bill, so why would they give their power away for free? Expecting everyone else to match Tesla's own deal is like demanding free fries at a steakhouse because McDonald's hooked you up. It's just not the same business."

We can keep going. Its getting fun now.

Now let's address the stupid thought that Tesla will force people to use paid for superchargers so they don't have to build own. Forcing the people myself included to use Jim's supercharger at the grocery store:

It's actually pretty dumb. Tesla's still adding thousands of their own Superchargers every single quarter — they've got over 80,000 stalls worldwide and keep growing fast. The white label program doesn't replace that, it adds to it. Thinking Tesla would deliberately make their own customers drive out of the way to charge is just silly. Tesla makes money selling cars, and the best way to sell more cars is to have a fast, reliable, convenient charging network. Slowing it down on purpose would hurt their own sales.

seems like some people are jealous that they missed out on free supercharging and are reveling in the situation of those that did losing out. you guys must be fun at parties.

I love mine. 300k+ on a single car makes fuel not an issue. Convinced a few people to do that purchase. Some here would say bully. Either way. We road trip sometimes together even though we don't cross paths often.

And the fun at parties aspect. Sure yeah I'm a kind of guy that can drive a thousand miles. Actually I think 1255 mi in a day in an EV all with no music. Silence. Except for this thread . Provides all the excitement I need.

I am going to counter argue because it is what I do. When you bought your free supercharging enabled Tesla where does it say that you will be entitled to free supercharging at all existing superchargers AND all future superchargers? Is that in the contract? Usually the future is unknown and making promises about future performance is something that gets you into hot water with the SEC. If the car owner expects to get free supercharging at all existing stations plus any new ones established in the future then they expecting Tesla to keep giving them more free stuff, namely more free locations for free, not for what was bargained for when the car was purchased. I would be surprised if someone bought furniture at a store for 0% financing and expected that any future purchases at that store would also be at 0%. The cost of free supercharging is rolled into the price and incentives at time of purchase just like interest rate, I don't think it includes additional free benefits for as long as you live and for every car you purchase thereafter. That's not the way contracts are typically written. Again I could be wrong, I dont have the supercharging contract in front of me but I would suggest finding a copy of whatever was in the paperwork that was signed at time of purchase because those terms will govern.

Btw just to be clear I was not attacking anyone in my prior post I was merely trying yo explain how these new superchargers work.

Right here.

Quite the opposite. I'm fair and balanced in my like and actually often hatred for Tesla. I have no bounds. I have brought cookies and donuts at one times and often wanted to bring other things other than cookies and donuts.

My post history reflects this. You could bring @HaulingAss to vouch for my both sides. Just because somebody has owned early on Tesla's and been with them for too long doesn't mean they are always in love with them.

My frunk piece was just left out of my car on a service visit along with three missing fuses. That happened 5 days ago. So yeah I don't love Tesla. Thanks though. Thanks for your awesome deductive reasoning

Right here.

Just can't understand can ya ?. When Jim's grocery store buys the supercharger, it's not part of the Tesla. supercharging Network. It's an independently owned charger. You have the opt out to choose whether or not you want to choose it in your menu. You don't have to go to those. Just like you can select other DC fast chargers from other vendors, or not.

Other than the vast conspiracy theory that Tesla will never create superchargers again because they're going to make all the mom and pop grocery stores build them all for them and rape and pillage all their free Tesla supercharger people. Anything else?

300k on your Cybertruck? That’s impressive. Same one you wrapped around a tree or am I misremembering that?

Nope on my one of 5 Tesla's. Goodie you. Post searcher. I have nothing to hide. CJ yourself to sleep with that. If you read really good and followed everything about me. You know that I shipped my cyber truck to Hawaii for a month so I could drive it there. There are plenty of other good tidbits so keep searching there.

That’s cool. What does that cost? Seems like it would be a good time. I’m not trying to antagonize you man. We can agree to disagree on this can we not?

@hemiarch anything else. Personal searches done. Yet not much response in substance. Every AI service disagrees with you. You know what they say about stubborn surgeons? They kill people.

 

[hemiarch]

I didn’t know that’s what “they” say. Are you and your troll posse experts on that too?
And as for personal searches, I’m not invested enough to have done that. I just remember that happening to you. I don’t remember if I actually reached out in a DM to express condolences but I certainly remember feeling bad for you when it did.
Genuinely tried to resolve this with you peacefully but that’s clearly not in the realm of your capability.
have a good night.

Right here.

Where is that image captured from? The easy answer here is that Tesla isn't adding independently owned stations to the network, the independent owners are, thus FUSC doesn't apply.

You’d have to ask @That Beast Mode . He sent it to me last night. Good night Ken. Stay safe in the weather out there.
