Recharging is not “free”. It’s either subsidized by taxpayers, included in the price of the car, or the company voluntarily loses money on a temporary basis. At some point Tesla will go bankrupt or start charging a fee for recharging, probably when the “lower price models” are introduced.

Staggers me that any Freeper, especially a long-term veteran, would talk about anything sponsored by the government as being "free".

So food and soda and lattes purchased with EBT cards are free?

Medical services under Obamacare are free?

Housing projects and Obamaphones and cash for clunkers and two years of unemployment compensation is free?

How about "free" medical care for illegals? Is that kind of like a medical recharge for criminals instead of cars?

Sheesh, man. All this free stuff is exactly why we are $20 trillion in the hole.
