I heard Tesla isn't going to have the free charging stations any more...is that true JJ?
There are so many people running tesla's for uber that they hog the free chargers. So the first 1000 miles of charging will be free. after 1000 miles you will have to pay. Those were really intended for people traveling or commuting & they should be charging at home. it only takes a few to mess it up for everybody.

I put a 240v charger in my garage, after using standard 120v because it takes a long time with that little amount voltage. I did sign up to use charging stations and found I really do not need to as we do not take long trips in the i3, it's perfect for local runs as it only provides 120 miles per charge. It costs me about 20 bucks to travel a total of 800 miles. The 240v charger has a standard clothes dryer receptacle on it. Got that from a place called Clipper Creek instead of the recommended high dollar charger. Well worth it. Saved hundreds. I am still amazed at the pure torque this car puts out. I have left many V-8s and high hp 6's in the dust.
