I know you’re a gear head and write from a mechanical perspective but it’s truly scary that you could have been harmed out of no where. Ibglowin almost took a head-on a few weeks ago and it makes me want to remember to appreciate every day. Genuinely happy you’re safe..... screw the car, Mike

Sorry about the car, but glad you're fine, Jim.
Model S and X do not pay as they have free super charging for life but that program is ending next month.
My Model 3 pays (I mean I pay...lol), however the Model 3 Performance is also having free lifetime super charging ir you buy by next month also....but the Performance would set you back in the ~$70k .
In short, yes I pay for the cost is about 1/3 or a tad less compared to what I’d have to pay if it was gas.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my wreck post. Now if the shoulder pain will just go away and my bruises and skinned spots will heal up, I'll be good.
I'm a former bodyman and mechanic, so I did explore fixing it back up. The car literally has 100,000 miles plus left in it. For $400 I can get a used front clip. But that was all before I got the hood unlatched.
The far end of the hood rod should lie behind the radiator support like the attached end in the foreground. Hang a front clip? I'd do that, but this is too much work. But she still starts right off and drives, did not lose an ounce of fluid. I know guys who have had these cars still going at 450,000, so I really do hate to lose her. Doesn't burn a drop of oil. Wreck was 8/13, and I had just put $350 worth of new Michelin 90,000 mile tires on it 8/11.
Besides the physical pain, there's the mental pain of the settlement value the other guy's insurance, GEICO put on it, which is 30% below KBB and 45% below lot resale values - including the brand new tires! GRRRR! I've asked them for a buyback number, because if it is low enough I could drive it to the scrap yard, take off the tires, get $275-300 for it there, then sell the tires on Craigslist. We'll see what happens. Of course, they are trying to rush you through the process as fast as possible, too, so you have little time to think about it. The topper was when they called me to tow the car BEFORE I had even heard a settlement number. Thank really steamed me!!! I told them the car will now be under lock and key in my shop building until we settle.

I’m hoping to get some Fireweed picked before they all bloom out.

Hope they had chargers there.
