are they really building 4 in miami? I wanted to lease one for my vacation home there a year ago, but the only supercharger close by was like 30 minutes north of miami near ft lauderdale. I didn't see any superchargers on the way to the keys and I had to have a car capable of driving to naples, the keys,orlando when we were down there. If they ever built one on the way to the keys I would definitely lease one for down there.

I also believe with the infrastructure in place tesla will one day be charging non-tesla's to charge at their stations, nothing confirmed, but a guess if I had to make one. I find it hard to believe every automaker is gonna invest in a network of chargers when they probably won't mass produce BEV's

either way its a massive paradigm shift coming imo, i could be wrong who knows, but the people ive spoken with who own teslas cant fathom going back to a non-tesla. Tesla sold more $100k+ cars than anyone last year, extrapolate that dominance into cheaper sectors and I dont see how they wouldn't outsell any brand in any segment if they could produce the quantity of vehicle needed. They cant now but elon promised plans for 3 more gigafactories this year......

Look at the map I linked

They're adding a Homestead one just for the Keys drive

2 more in downtown Miami (Brickell/Wynwood), 1 in Aventura, and another in Plantation. Downtown Ft Lauderdale needs one and I'm sure that will happen

Hopefully these get built pretty soon, I want a Model 3 after all the initial bugs are fixed

That's awesome, I do see this company called evercharge has a few boxes at my condo there, but I spoke with an owner and he pays but it's just a few bucks no biggie but yea you can't go to the keys and back as is. One guy I spoke with had a p100d he told me the 320 miles was highway miles and he got over 500 miles on a charge as long as it was in the city bc of the regenerative braking.

Jeez, if that's true that would last me a month. And even paying a 3rd party to charge is much cheaper than buying gas

Another interesting note, my friend works at the Naples dealer and posted a few days back:

"Model S 100D is going up $5,000 and Model S P100D is going up $5,500. Model X 100D is going up $1,000 and P100D is going up $9,500 - all taking effect on 4/24. We have had a flood of orders these last few days before pricing changes. (75 and 90 battery pack sizes went down in price)"

Hiking the prices up after out selling the S-Class because they know people will continue to buy more. Pretty ballsy
