To clarify, that's only at the supercharger stations. I believe a normal home charger is a "charge it overnight" kind of deal.

How much does it cost to charge the battery at a charging station?

And the fact that you could drive from LA to NYC for free is certainly appealing.

The idea of going to a Mizzou game, getting back in the fully charged whip and telling it to auto-pilot me back to KC is pretty compelling.

I would consider it in a couple of years, once a few people are able to put them through their paces. Based on that current map, I'm fine if I stay in NJ (which I don't want to do) and not in great shape if I go elsewhere. Two to three more years and that map will certainly fill out a bit.

It's not confirmed that it'll still be free for Model 3's technically, but yes, free for everything they have out there to date. Only works for Teslas.

And I believe they're mostly solar powered, so there's no variable costs after they have it all set up beyond maintenance.

The full vision is that you have SolarCity roof panels with a Tesla PowerWall at home to charge your Tesla car, so you would have zero incremental costs for power at all.

Those are the skinniest tires I have ever seen- you would bust a rim in a pothole driving around KC. They must have excellent suspension or it would be a bumpy ride around here.

Cute. Once they get 'em to the point that it has 7" ground clearance, can haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood and has a 400 mile range, I'll sit up an notice.

Once Tesla offers a mid-sized SUV, I'm in.

Teslas scored so high in consumer reports, they had to create a new scoring system, because they literally scored over 100.

The reason you buy a Model 3 over another $35k car is because you want a fully electric, sexy car that can seamlessly drive FOR YOU.

It's the future, baby.

Tesla sold 180,000 presales at $1,000 apiece in under 24 hours. $180 million in production capital. Elon Musk is doing shit in the business world that is game-changing.

I guess "create a new scoring system" is one way to describe it...

But one of the biggest criticisms Tesla has faced is about its long-term reliability. Consumer Reports even went so far as to remove the Model S from its list of recommended vehicles. According to a new analysis of survey data from Plug-In America, it may even be worse than we thought. Two-thirds of early Model S drivetrains may need to be replaced before they hit 60,000 miles.

Green Car Reports conducted the analysis of the survey data, looking into long-term reliability of a total of 327 Model S sedans. Its conclusion is that 2012 and 2013 models face a serious reliability risk.

Tesla offers an eight-year warranty that will cover these issues, but it's concerning to see early models with failure rates nearly ten-times that of later models.

When asked for comment, Tesla didn't answer any direct questions but did respond with a general comment about the company's increasing reliability and strong customer satisfaction.

Check out Green Car Reports' analysis here
