The power still has to be produced somehow … how about Earth Week closing by not going anywhere and not using energy for transport?

In Europe, basically all superchargers are powered by (or at least the electricity paid for of course are) renewables.

If anything they should charge more on earth week rather than doing it free.

Lead by example!

How would the earth benefit from that

Will do!

All power used is offset by renewables...

What - no free charging in Kansas?! I’m shocked.

That’s a very greenwashed statement. Burning coal but then buying some green credits to offset that coal is not the way to go.

I am skeptical of Teslas claim that the network is 100% renewable since they don't say how they're offsetting the very substantial amount of electricity not generated by renewables on their network they just say they're doing it. Renewable Energy Credits and Carbon Credits have a history of not being the most accurate things out there a lot of the time and when I can't even look into how Tesla is offsetting emissions because they won't disclose that information I am, to say the least, sus.

Same. I’m in Missouri and I’m shocked. Not really. No one cares about us.

May dissuade someone from charging more than they need resulting in lower produced energy and lower emissions. Also could donate the extra money to planting trees, or conservation, etc. It's pretty common to see things like this.

Negative Nelly

In the US, we support the coal industry and the oil or gas industry

Perhaps they chose those specific chargers because they’re powered by renewables

Free charging on Earth Day actually encourages people to charge more than they normally would, which is kind of the opposite of what we should be doing for the environment.

How much do you pay for electricity in Kansas? To us in CA, your charging is always basically free lol.

Don't spread false info, Tesla/supercharger does not support coal imdustry

How do you think they get the electricity for the superchargers?

They get from electricity companies, they don't buy directly from coal companies. If you believe buying from electricity company is supporting coal company, then everyone in the country/world is supporting coal company

> I’m shocked. Don't put your fingers in the charger outlet :p

Went to the NJ location for a charge and local dealership was there with a number of cars for test drive. Took a cybertruck/beast for a drive while charging. The wire steering is something else as well as the power of that thing. When got back Tesla employee there provided me with some free swag as well… Charging is free until 6p better get on it!

That Ft Pierce new supercharger is like a walking dead episode. Absolute worst spot imaginable to put such a large station, abandoned strip mall in the meth/homeless capital of Fl.

That is true. It does not mean that people march around supporting coal, they are simply using electricity, which is a byproduct of coal in many cases.

What were the freebies?

Fair point

for Illinois, It was FCFS free windshield wipers, free air filter swaps, free coffee in the AM, free food truck in the PM, test drives, and some post cards

Not bad! I’m bummed I heard about it around 8PM last night.

Aalborg (DK) had free cupcakes with chocolate Tesla logos, all kinds of drinks and free charging. All nice on a day you need to drive a long distance with kids, but air filter swap would have been even nicer.

That’s awesome

France is also on Earth, can we celebrate Earth Week with you? 😏

This is the info the media doesn’t want you to see
