And that's after they've already developed their own world wide, top class charging network. And not too stubborn to let their cars join other networks as well and even convert their own network to allow for new standards.

Nissan / Renault can learn a lot here. They should also convert their EVs to CCS charging for a few hundred quid. CHAdeMO and AC fast charging are obsolete standards and have been so for a very long time.

tesla should open up their supercharger network to other cars too, put an absolute massive premium on charging non tesla cars, but allow them on to "accelerate the move to an electric future"

Anyone else noticed that your referral free supercharging now has an expiry date. Hard in Ireland to use up supercharger miles, once the lockdown is over I might make a special trip just to supercharge and see what they are like.

This would be fine until you pull up to one in your Tesla, and it's full of Hyundai's or Nissan Leaf's!!

Yes, apparently it's 6 months from when your referral code was last used, so you and me should have the same expiry date (unless someone used your referral code after I did).

I do the odd trip up to Newry for some shopping and to visit Slieve Gullion forrest park, so when this is over, I'll be stopping on the way up or back for some SuperCharging...

I have 4500km of free charging...need to use it up. Might go visit my brother in the UK when all this **** is over, only way I will use it up. I think its a bit meen to put a time limit on it TBH.

yeah, I asked the FB group to tweet Tesla & Musk (from the Ireland owners club) asking for an extension seeing as we are barely driving at the moment..

I noticed that that 4,500 is WLTP based, so real world it's probably less, but still in summertime, you should expect to see about 3,800-4,000 of those km's in real world (providing you engage Chill Mode

)
