Yes they did, ergo don't buy a M3.... Which is why I wrote "look for a used model" that offers it .

So let's say you have to buy electricity to charge your Tesla, and you pay the average $0.12 kWh to do so (just for numbers).

A M3 gets 4 miles per kWh best case, or for his 325 mile drive would cost about $10.

A car getting 40 mpg like a Chevy Cruze or similar with gas at $2.50/gal would cost around $20.

In other words, if he's doing this four times a month, paying for electricity at normal rates (not supercharger rates which are much higher, around $0.25 per kWh which is double the median household rate) would only save $40/month best case. And he's already going to have to use a supercharger at least somewhat, so that cuts it down even more.

IOW, the cost savings isn't really tremendous compared to another commuter car...and you're putting a ton of miles on your $50k electric car and depreciating the battery like a bat outta hell.
