Tesla is discontinuing the "free" access to their Supercharger network beginning in Jan. 2017

Posted by TWuG Nov 7 '16, 07:05

It was "free" in the sense that after you bought the car there was no additional cost to access the network.

All cars ordered before Jan 2017 will still have the "free" access that is priced into the car.

"For Teslas ordered after January 1, 2017, 400 kWh of free Supercharging credits (roughly 1,000 miles) will be included annually so that all owners can continue to enjoy free Supercharging during travel. Beyond that, there will be a small fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and cost less than the price of filling up a comparable gas car. All cars will continue to come standard with the onboard hardware required for Supercharging."

- They have no plans to make the network a profit center. The fees will cover Tesla costs for electricity and maintenance/improvements - TWuG Nov 7, 07:12

- Yeah, it's not unexpected and MUCH better than I expected. 1,000 miles of credits per year is - TWuG Nov 7, 07:10
