Lors de l'assemblée annuelle des actionnaires de Tesla, Musk et JB Straubel expliquent la politique de Supercharge de la Model 3 et la feuille de route de l'entreprise.

Hi, my name is Haydn and I'm a shareholder. I got my 85D last July and since then it's gotten about 150,000 miles or so on it. And even with daily full recharging, we've only lost about 6% total battery capability. And there's been no real maintenance cost except for like four sets of tires.
Elon Musk
But so my question is, depends on which tires you. Oh, this sounds like you have the high performance tires, man.

Like, regarding the free long distance travel and superchargers for life, how long do you intend to act on that? And then once the Model 3 comes out and there's upwards of 500,000amillion cars out there, how are you going to keep up with that?
Elon Musk
Right? I mean, today we wanted to make it really straightforward and easy. So that's why the superchargers are set up at least to date for people that have bought the car as free long distance for life. Obviously that has fundamentally a cost. And so I think, I mean, I don't want to make this some big news headline, but the obvious thing to do is to decouple that from the cost of the Model 3. So it will still be very, very cheap and far cheaper than gasoline to drive long distance with the Model 3. But it will not, it will not be free long distance for life unless you purchase that package. It's not like I wish we could. This is not. But in order to achieve the economics, it has to be something like that, you know, but, you know, it's like, I want to just emphasize like what Tezo's motivation is, is to make electric transport as affordable as possible. That is what informs all of our actions. So if we do something and we charge for this or charge for that, it is not because, you know, we want to make things more expensive, is because we can't figure out how to make it less expensive. That's all. It also just sort of pains us to see people misvaluing their time at supercharged stations so often. It is far more convenient and faster for you overall to charge at home or at work. It takes one second to plug in. You don't have to go to a separate location and wait for the car to be there. And time and time again, we see people that drive to a supercharged station, sit in their car, wait there for 20, 30 minutes and then drive to a different destination. And if they do the math and the value of their time, it makes no sense. Yeah, I think part of it is just people are used to a paradigm where they go to a gas station to fill up, and that's just normal. So then they get an electric car. It's like, oh, I need to go to the supercharging station to fill up, because that's what's normal. But actually, the best thing to do with an electric car is to charge your car, where you charge your phone. Like, you know, would you really take your phone to a gas station? Like, no. So I think a lot of it is just people kind of. They're used to an old way of doing things, and they kind of do it by default. But as JB was saying, like, driving to a supercharger and, you know, in order to, like, maybe get $5 worth of electricity and spending half an hour for your time, like, you're, you know, maybe barely at minimum wage. So it's actually not. It's just not the best thing for people. But, you know, they kind of do it out of habit.
