If we recall well, the West Coast received its first 480 V stations only last Friday, making it possible to jump from Boston all the way to Washington, at the wheel of an electric car and “fueling” your toy.

While Tesla officials have initially announced that the supercharging stations and the super charging feature will be accessible to all Model S owners, it looks like they have made a change of plans.

Consequently, we have just found out that you cannot get the supercharger option for any unit other than the 85 kWh model, which has it as a standard option.
