I'm starting a new thread on this, because I feel this discussion is getting lost in the larger supercharger thread. Also, I'm putting it in "Ordering, Production, Delivery", because it's about the cost and inclusion of a feature. But mods, feel free to move it if you think otherwise.
Anyway, here's the exact quote from Elon's supercharger presentation:
So it certainly seems like he's saying that supercharging hardware will be available as an option at an additional fee.
On the other hand, the design studio shows supercharging hardware included at no additional cost:
Additionally, my MVPA lists supercharge hardware without a fee.
So I emailed Tesla and got this response:
There's definitely conflicting information here. So, what to believe?

So for Model S cars that have the supercharger hardware installed, which will be the case for the 85kWh pack and for a small incremental charge for the 60kWh pack, you'll be able to travel for free, forever, on pure sunlight.
So it certainly seems like he's saying that supercharging hardware will be available as an option at an additional fee.
On the other hand, the design studio shows supercharging hardware included at no additional cost:
Supercharge Hardware
Equip your Model S with the hardware and software needed to use Tesla Superchargers in the future.
Included
Additionally, my MVPA lists supercharge hardware without a fee.
So I emailed Tesla and got this response:
We are waiting for final details on Supercharging with the 60kWh battery. There will be a cost associated with it as Elon mentioned. We are hoping to get the final details out by the end of the week but it is possible that it could come out early next week.
There's definitely conflicting information here. So, what to believe?
