I have free supercharging for life on my Model S. Drove from LA to Seattle, Drove around for a week, then drove back to LA. One the way even out pulled a Z06 who wanted to play alittle. It cost me nothing. Left Sunday Morning, got to Seattle Monday afternoon. In a gas car I would've left Sunday Morning and gotten to Seattle Monday morning. Right now the average gas price for premium fuel in California is a little over 6 bucks.....I think I'll hang onto the Tesla for awhile. Oh and maintenance. In 97K, other then tires I've spent 790 dollars.

Addmittingly, my car is an earlier car, thus the free supercharging. My wife's newer model 3 charges significantly faster and has longer range, but no free supercharging.
