That was just me amortizing the $2k option cost across each Supercharger visit. I used Superchargers primarily for road trips, not all my driving. For my Model 3, I’ll have to pay for each charge, which would be -$6.25 for the same added range, so more like 50ish mpg...

~80% of the miles on the S was from charging at home — and that icost significantly less. For the 5 years I had the CTS and Boxster, I averaged $195 per month in fuel cost. The Model S added about $30/month to our electric bill... I also drove it 100-200 more miles per month...
