TESLA OFFERS A good sales pitch: Gorgeous cars, ludicrous acceleration, features like Autopilot that arrive via over the air updates. And to sweeten the deal for those who can afford the luxury electric, free charging at the young automaker’s international network of Supercharger stations.
Since 2012, Tesla has invited its customers to plug in to chargers that add 200 to 300 miles of range per hour. Good enough to top up a depleted battery in about 30 minutes, while a driver has a bathroom break and a bite to eat. They approach the convenience of pumping gas into a conventional car, and they’re free for life.
