[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Tesla owners use the Supercharger stations much outside of random family road trips? Like 99% of the time you just charge at home (overnight) and at work (if possible), right?[/quote]

Some people do, but it's not the preferred technique. That's part of why Tesla went away from Unlimited Free Supercharging. Too many people taking up stalls because they didn't want to charge at home.  I always thought they could accomplish their objective by having Supercharging be free if you're more than one battery from home, half-price if you're between 100%- and 50%-to-home range, and full price if you're say, within 25 miles. I dunno, they didn't ask me. lol[/quote]

Is the Supercharger any cheaper or more expensive per "fill up" verse just charging overnight at home? I understand it's faster, just wasn't sure if it's a cost difference that would incentivize people to go out of their way to use them. Outside of being on a road trip or driving a lot as a salesman, I can't understand seeking out non-home chargers.[/quote]

New Tesla owners now have to pay to use a Supercharger, so most folks using them would be on the go these days. For a Model 3, a fill up charge is similar to paying for a tank of gas right now. [/quote]
