Owners of Musk’s forthcoming Model 3 sedan may only get free use of the company’s Superchargers if a long way from home, Founder Elon Musk said at a shareholder meeting. Use of the chargers, which provide 170 miles of range after half an hour of use, may not be free when close to an owner’s home, he said. The Musk Model S and Model X both receive free use of the whole Supercharger network. New editions of those vehicles ordered after 1 January, 2017, get about 1,000 miles of free charge credits.
