it comes with a couple other extras that add up to ~$1000 if purchased separately
I do both, but still don’t see the value. I use Superchargers for about 6-8k miles per year. At 300 wh/mile, and averaging $.36/kwh, that’s about $750 of values, which I suspect is a high average for most drivers. You must be driving over 25,000 miles using only paid charging to spend that much at chargers. And why would anyone allow the cost of energy to influence how and where they spend their time? At the risk of being elitist, that’s plebeian thinking - vehicles are tools that serve us, provide freedom, not control us.
I travel about 50,000 miles per year with ground transport, but mostly overseas, by motorcycle and bicycle. Places where EVs don’t work and will not, probably forever. Dirt roads and zero electrical infrastructure. But I do have about 7k per year of EV road trips, towing, up and down I-95 between homes in Maryland & Florida. You are the exception that essentially proves the rule that “free” supercharging generally doesn’t pay off. When I had it on three prior Teslas it was nice for eliminating the hassle factor - road tripping costs weren’t a factor - just nice to “say” we travelled for free - but not really true as the cost of energy is just bundled in the vehicle price, but a nice illusion and story for non-EV friends and family.
Yes. With all those lifetime features, it will be worth it.
i’m ready to see anything new announced for the month of June. I’m super excited to hit the road!
Don't do it! Grey is spectacularly better. I would have paid more for it.
Haha. I know right. Tempting. Also the new 2024 FS I had my eye on sold! Now there are just demo vehicles.
