None yet. I have the app, but the IA registration hasn't been completed and I need that before Tesla will officially transfer ownership over to my account.

Yep, all free, I didn't pay a penny for electricity on the drive home from DC. And my first stop was at an outlet mall, next was around some fast food and a starbucks, and the Iowa and Illinois stops were at Hy-Vee's. The other two under construction in Iowa are also at Hy-Vee's. And usually just a mile or two off interstate.

I'm guessing the Model S will remain free for the remainder of the car's life. Once it's 'enabled' I think that's it, one time fee. I know most of the Model S come with supercharging, but the base model 60 didn't, you had to pay $2k for the access. I had also assumed with how cheap the 3 was, they'd also require you to pay a similar $2k fee to enable supercharging.
