The batteries weigh over 1000lbs, so that would be quite a feat....

An electric car for local driving that could be charged over-night could have some appeal, but this network of supercharging stations does nothing for me.
Maybe you should invest in the restaurant chain that will crop up adjacent to the charging stations...

ATMS were going to be free, too, because they were going to be saving banks money. People now paying $2 and more for ATM transactions likely had a different version of "free" in mind.

How is the electricity generated?

True, but I was also wondering why a company would give away free energy.


Out of the kindness of their hearts? LMAO

Pardon? I would think that should be a rather pertinent question. The vast majority of the electricity we consume isn't generated by hamster wheels and pixie dust.

well ... i assume that the free recharge would be more than made up for by a ton of people buying Tesla cars.

Then over time, if becomes the norm, the charging would start to cost

Got to read the fine print, I guess...

How much does it cost to use the Supercharger?

Supercharging is free for the life of Model S, once the Supercharger option is enabled.

Not at all. I love electric vehicles. But, I also realize that very few people realize that we don't exactly have a massive surplus of electrical generation in this country.

It's just the bait on the hook.
