Sounds like the same practice the big oil companies have been using since the dawn of gas stations.
Still waiting to see the 5cents a litre in savings at the pumps Ford promised.

The price hike of supercharging to 0.44/0.22 in Canada, 0.28/kwh or 0.26/0.13 in the States will prevent me from buying a Model 3 although I am a happy Model S owner. A Prius will cost less to run on highway as I can easily achieve 4.7L/100KM in addition to the fact it is much more convenient going on a road trip in a gas car.
Don't know about the US, but here in Ontario the price was $0.20 and $0.40 before wasn't it? So 10% change on average.
Even with free supercharging the Prius is cheaper over the life of the car since it is half the price.
And an old used civic or corolla is probably cheaper than a new Prius.
Oh, yeah, you are right. But don't advertise it will have lower running cost without purchasing cost being factored in.
Number of people has already come out with Cost of Ownership Calculator. It has proved that it actually costs less in 5 years and esp 8 years of ownership. Having said that, once you are a happy Model 3 owner, you don't look back.

Costs less than what? An Audi, BMW or Mercedes, sure. A Prius or used civic? I'd like to see the math. That probably assumes a lot of km of driving.
Agreed though. I'm a happy Model 3 owner and definitely prefer it over my cheap other car (2003 Toyota Echo), but no way would I save money replacing that car that I bought 3 years ago for $3000, and takes 6-7L/100km.
It hands down beats Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, <Insert any luxury brand>. Don't compare it to a Yaris for cost - that's like comparing an Alienware PC to Dell desktop.
..... or Tim Hortons vs the Keg.. I don't eat at the Keg to save money. lolIt hands down beats Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, <Insert any luxury brand>. Don't compare it to a Yaris for cost - that's like comparing an Alienware PC to Dell desktop.

By the way, I love how the 3 drifts in the snow today. So much fun.
Funny how the Prius was the top trade in car for the model 3. I test drove the Prius a few times over the years and never liked it.You'd have to drive a million km of free supercharging to make a model s cheaper than a Prius...
