Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, announced at a shareholder meeting last week that Model 3 owners will be required to pay to access the company’s Supercharger network. The base-level Model 3, starting at just $35,000, will offer fewer standard frills than its predecessors—so the decision wasn’t unexpected. For the Model 3 to succeed in the long run, Tesla needs to slice off as much starting cost from the car as possible without compromising the brand’s luxury credentials.
“The obvious thing to do is decouple the Supercharger Network from the cost of the Model 3,” Musk told an audience of investors and employees. “So it will still be very cheap—and far cheaper than gasoline—to drive long-distance with the Model 3, but it will not be free long distance for life unless you’ve purchased that package.”
