For now, this feature is simply obtainable on Mannequin S and Mannequin X.
Is it price it?
Electrek’s Take
You must evaluate it to a FSD subscription, which is $99 a month. So, over 3 years, that will be $3,600. Premium connectivity is $100 a 12 months.
Subsequently, we’re at $3,900.
Which means for $1,100, you’re going to get 3 years of supercharging.
Whether or not that’s price it relies upon completely in your driving habits. For many EV drivers, the charging occurs at house in a single day, however some folks rely extra closely on the Supercharger community.
At a median of $0.40 per kWh, you’d get 2,750 kWh out of that or about 27 full fees on Mannequin S/X.
Subsequently, this bundle is price it if you would like FSD, premium connectivity, and also you cost greater than about 30 occasions at Superchargers over 3 years.
