Threemium Model: Musk Says Affordable Tesla Model 3 Won’t Get Free Supercharging
If you’re one of the 300,000-plus customers on the pre-order list for the “affordable” Tesla Model 3, we have bad news for you: Access to Tesla’s innovative network of Superchargers, currently free to all Tesla owners, will cost you. Bloomberg.com reports that during yesterday’s annual shareholder meeting, Tesla CEO Elon Musk acknowledged as much: “The obvious thing to do is [to] decouple [the cost of Supercharging] from the cost of the Model 3.” Currently, owners of the Tesla Model S sedan and the Model X crossover SUV have free access to the company’s cross-country network of Supercharging stations that can add approximately 170 miles of range to the vehicles’ battery pack in as little as 30 minutes. Fret not, though, because Model 3 customers will still have the option to unlock lifetime access to the Tesla’s Superchargers as part of an undisclosed package. The cost of this package, and what other features it may or may not come with, were not revealed; however, Musk added that those who choose not to opt for lifetime Supercharger access will find the cost of Supercharging to be “very cheap, and far cheaper than gasoline.?
