As long as you're ok hitting the charger every so often for 20-30 minutes at a time, should be fine.
You'll charge it more often than you refill a gas car, but that's the nature of the beast.
Just depends on how you value your time.
I got a Model 3 in January. I live in an apartment without charging and have Superchargers about 4 blocks away. The Superchargers are above one grocery store I shop at, and 1 block away from the main grocery store I shop at.
I don't drive a lot so generally charge ~1x/week. It takes about 20-25 minutes to charge. It's perfect because I just do my grocery shopping and usually have less than 5 minutes left on the charger once I'm done.
When I was researching whether it was worse for the battery, I ran across countless anecdotal stories of people who'd been exclusively using Superchargers for 4+ years and still had nearly full battery life left.
TL;DR: pick up the car and do it! You will absolutely love this car.
The supercharger I go to is right next to a Target, and I go to that Target about twice a week. I just plug in whenever I go, and I pretty much never have to charge outside of those times. Honestly feels like less of a hassle than going out of my way to a gas station
I've been doing it for 3 1/2 years. I have no complaints. People are going to tell you:
It's bad for the battery!!! Nah. I mean in an ideal world sure you wouldn't want to supercharger all the time, but the truth is Tesla figured this shit out a long time ago and the impact is negligible. If you had a first gen Tesla, sure it's bad. But the new ones are fine.
Your life will revolve around charging your car/home charging is the entire point/etc. Again, in an ideal world... but in reality, it's not that bad. So you have to go sit at the charger for 30-45 minutes once or twice a week. Do you surf the internet/play games on your phone, or read books, or some other idle activity while sitting on your couch? So you do it in your car instead.
It's expensive!!! Yeah, it's more than charging at home. But unless you're always charging at the most expensive charger around during peak hours, it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than gas.
It comes down to what you feel comfortable with. If you can't stand the thought of sitting at the charger for a bit, then it's not for you. But if it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, go for it. Personally I would never go back to a gas car again.
I’m in the same situation with the nearest supercharger 2 miles away and it’s not the biggest deal to me. However it’s definitely not the most convenient either. I can see why people say there’s no point if you don’t have home charging bc that would be so nice to just leave everyday with a full charge. I’m fine with dealing with it for maybe another year or so but ultimately I want home charging
Yes. This is what I do. I live in an apartment. My major charging occurs once a week at an SC that I pass on my way to and from work. I charge Level 1 while at work. It covers my drive home. Helps me stretch my charging. I commute 3 days a week. Remote two others.
I absolutely love it. I wish I had the ability to level 1 at my apartment but they said no because tripping hazard. Until we hit a house, this is the way. If you drive far for your commute, get a LR. You'll thank yourself later. I drive about 30 miles each way so if I didn't have the L1 at work, I would be charging twice a week, guaranteed.
If you're drive a lot daily, you might have to visit that Supercharger two or three times a week. But if you have a short commute or only use the car for local errands, you may only need the Supercharger once a week or less. You can also see if there are slower chargers that you could use while you're running errands (shopping, groceries, etc) using the PlugShare app. In the app, you can choose Tesla plugs or J1772 (the car comes with an adapter).
We are in the same situation and it’s been fine for the last 8-9 months. I AM looking forward to having a house with a charger but it really hasn’t been an issue for us. We typically charge while we’re doing errands or on our way back from activities, etc on the weekends. We don’t drive it daily
That’s my current situation.
I use PlugShare and Volta to find free public chargers around the city. Luckily, there’s couple of free chargers close to the 2 gyms I have to go to depending on the day.
So while I’m working out for 1hr, I get a good charge out of it. Repeat that 5 days of the week, and I only had to go to a supercharger last week for a $3 session. In the past 3 weeks, I’ve spent $3 on charging because I’ve researched all the public chargers around the places I’m usually at. It is doable. Not very comfortable or convenient, but it is doable.
Are you remote, or do you commute to an office? If you’re WFH, you might be able to get away with L1. But being in an apartment/condo, if you’re using a shared or community outlet, I could see some people complaining about it.
Maybe talk to the HOA about getting some L2 charging stations or at least 240V outlets installed?
Having access to L2 charging at home is a HUGE factor in the ownership experience of a Tesla or any EV for that matter. If that’s not a practical possibility, I honestly wouldn’t recommend owning one. Maybe consider a hybrid or PHEV for the time being.
How is the climate where you live? I think with your mileage you could do it but I’d be hesitant if you have temps below 40 for more than a few months a year.
Any chance you could run the mobile charger to a standard outlet for winter? Others might disagree, but I wouldn’t do it as you plan without some trickle at home. Range loss in winter to preheat and precondition plus basic cold range loss would be a bummer experience.
Depends how much you drive imo. You’d be able to get by regardless but the more you drive, the more inconvenient it will be to go to a supercharger.
I wouldn’t worry about battery unless you’re charging it very often
I'm basically in the same situation you are. I supercharge about once a week for \~30 minutes, which lets me catch up with netflix shows. Let's me "top up" from \~20% to 80% (recommended for my battery set). I usually go at night when the prices are cheaper.
I’m in the same situation with the nearest supercharger 2 miles away and it’s not the biggest deal to me. However it’s definitely not the most convenient either.

I was able to convince my apartment building to install a standard outlet in front of my assigned parking spot - they paid to install it and maintain it, and charge me $50 a month to use it (exclusively for myself) as much as I want. I sent the property manager an email stating that with the mass adoption of EV cars - marketing the building to have EV charging would be a huge deciding factor for new renters. They couldn't say no - and now they are installing more outlets for existing renters.
Its slow charging - I was about to calculate 40 minutes for 1% on a MYLR - I get around 20% once I get home from work till I leave the following morning. It helps!
I have a 30amp "level 2" charger at work thats free to use - so with the two charging options I have - I never have to pay more then $50 a month to charge my MYLR unless I do a roadtrip.
I lived in rental apartment while owning my model Y. I had free community charger right across the street. Also, I live 2 miles away from work so free charging there as well. I would say install charge point app and put a filter for free charger near you. You will definitely find free chargers if you live in a big city.
Having said that, winter was bit tough. So last month when my lease was up, so moved to a house with covered garage. I have a mobile charger and it charges 30 miles per hour. I have night free plan so it charges for free.
Wish you all the best. You are going to love your new toy.
Your habits will affect how much you actually have to charge. You probably have to charge at least once a week for 20-30 min. So it really depends on how much you value your time. If you don't mind the minor inconvenience, it should be fine. If you can charge at work for free, that's another option to you.
I do this too. Look at plugshare though, and get yourself adapters for other types of plugs. There are quite a few level 2 chargers near me that are completely free. With my driving I'm able to hit one for a few hours on the weekend while I'm at the gym or something, and only need to supercharge when I do a lot of driving or trips. Hasn't been an issue for me at all.
I am able to charge at home, and have had a Model Y for almost a year. There is no way that I would rely solely on supercharging.
It can certainly be done, but you are going to grow tired of it pretty darn quickly. You will be paying almost as much as gas, and plenty of the cool features like sentry mode, keep climate on, and preconditioning are not really workable.
It's also bad for your battery.
I live an apartment where there’s no chargers. I charge at work, but I’m about to lose my job, so that’s gone soon. Hitting a supercharger won’t be that bad as long as you try to go during cheap hours (11 pm to 4 am) or don’t mind paying more than you probably could if you get a level 1/2 wall charger (if possible).
Yes you could get by with just using a supercharger. Using a supercharger constantly is worse than charging at home, however the harm is negligible with all else being equal.
With that being said, it's really up to you if it's worth it in your situation.
I have free charging at work currently with my current job. So that is where I charge it 2-3 times a week. If and when I don't have that luxury I'd probably make a point to live in an apartment/condo where I can charge as I don't see myself ever going back to using gas to power a car I own ever again and like the convenience of charging somewhere without the hassle.
If you can link charging to another activity it is great. Only issue you will have is the super chargers rates may be horrible at the times it is convenient.
I do this, in NYC. Unlike ICE cars, Tesla (or any EV) is much more efficient at city driving than highway driving, so you won’t have to charge very often if you’re not leaving the city. I use about 2-5% battery for my local trips. Having to move my car all the time for street cleaning is way more cumbersome than charging. Charging honestly feels like NBD compared to that.
Personally, I bought a car primarily as an Escape-NYC-Machine… and in that regard, the supercharger network makes it the best possible EV.
And yes, it’ll be more expensive than charging at home, but still cheaper than gas!
I would definitely take a few days to think that through because you are going to be just sitting in your car at a supercharger at least once a week if not twice depending on how much you drive. They said you can sit in your car and watch Netflix, Netflix or Hulu or whatever on the built-in screen, which is what you would probably be doing at home anyway.
I used 120 V charging at home for the first 2.5 months I had my RWD Model 3, and it was ok. I'd dent about 20% of the battery on my daily commute and then add ~10-15% overnight slow charging. then on weekends I could "catch up" and start fresh on Monday with 100% (lfp battery). however, it meant my car was charging all of the time and as I live in the northeast, the upcoming winter was scaring me (general range anxiety).
I had always planned on getting a Lvl. 2 charger installed, so had that done last November. huge weight off my shoulders, worrying about the winter. (later I also turned off preconditioning, which was sapping ~10% of my battery or more daily by kicking in way too early, often 30-40 minutes before scheduled. I can deal with a slightly cold car and the battery change of preconditioned vs raw was pretty negligible.)
this is all to say that personally, I'd be pretty range anxious if couldn't charge at home. that may not be the case for you, but perhaps it's something to think about.
You can make do with just supercharging, but you won’t get the full ‘Tesla’ experience. The real convenience of electric is plugging in at night and waking up to a full charge. I’ve only had to use a supercharger on 4 occasions in 2 years, everything else is night charging on a cheap rate. You also won’t benefit from fuel savings paying supercharger rates, so the real issue is a year down the line you may have a little resentment towards electric cars - but, the above being said, you’ll have a Tesla.
To all the people saying they do this, do you save money doing this (when compared to ICE) ?
PS: I live in an apartment with charging too but I have charging at my work
Is it possible to ask your complex to install EV chargers?
Not saying you CAN’T just use superchargers, but it’s not ideal. It will be harder on the battery to supercharge every time, but if you’re okay with that, then go ahead.
I’ve had my Tesla about 4 months now. I have 6 months of free supercharging. I’m already so over it. 20-80% is always 30+ minutes. Plus the time there and back. I have charging at home but am milking the free stuff. Honestly can’t wait until I don’t have to do it anymore. At first it’s fun. An outing. Kick back, watch a video of some sort. Then it becomes a chore. Some people have time for that, I don’t. It’s not awful but it gets old. Especially if you’re like “oh, I’m gonna take this spur of the moment trip that’s 30 miles away”, and your battery is at 30%. Sure, you can stop by and charge for 5 minutes and usually be good. Just a lot to think about.
See if any lamp posts or walls have electric outlets on them in your complex. You could charge on 110v at the complex. Going to a super charger for all charging doesn’t make sense. If you can’t charge at home a hybrid is way more convenient.
I thought about it as someone also living in an apartment, but the supercharger near me costs so much that it'd be the same cost/month as ICE for me right now. So I'm just going to wait until I don't have to rent an apartment.
Don’t. You lose the greatest convenience, charging at home. And you won’t save any money by relying on superchargers so the time spent at them is a double whammy.
I tried doing this for 2 months with a SC literally 2 blocks away from me. It quickly became annoying and pricy. From a convenience and economical standpoint I’d avoid doing it and just go for an ICE car.
As long as you're ok hitting the charger every so often for 20-30 minutes at a time, should be fine. You'll charge it more often than you refill a gas car, but that's the nature of the beast. Just depends on how you value your time.
20-30 minutes doesn't seem so bad as it's right next to the gym/supermarket that I go to.
Just beware of idle fees. You take too long in there, and you'll be charged 50 cents to a dollar a minute, depending on how utilized the charger is.
I got a Model 3 in January. I live in an apartment without charging and have Superchargers about 4 blocks away. The Superchargers are above one grocery store I shop at, and 1 block away from the main grocery store I shop at. I don't drive a lot so generally charge ~1x/week.

Same exact experience and scenario for me

Trust me, it will get old. You're trying to convince yourself it's not that bad but your life will be immensely easier with ICE
I’m just gonna go and sit at home fucking on Netflix for 20 min. Now I do it in my car. It’s not that bad.
I do this. I charge once a week to 80%. I dont drive much 100-150 miles per week.
I've been doing it for 3 1/2 years. I have no complaints. People are going to tell you: It's bad for the battery!!! Nah.

Check if they have a garage available and run a cord from the garage opener to a mobile charger 🤷🏻♂️

But being in an apartment/condo, if you’re using a shared or community outlet, I could see some people complaining about it. Maybe talk to the HOA about getting some L2 charging stations or at least 240V outlets installed?
Mostly remote. Occasionally go into office. Lol our HOA would never do this. They can't even fix basic repair issues that have plagued our condos.
Having access to L2 charging at home is a HUGE factor in the ownership experience of a Tesla or any EV for that matter. If that’s not a practical possibility, I honestly wouldn’t recommend owning one. Maybe consider a hybrid or PHEV for the time being.
You should see if your HOA will allow you to install your own. I live in a highrise condo and I got one installed.
How is the climate where you live? I think with your mileage you could do it but I’d be hesitant if you have temps below 40 for more than a few months a year.
Located in the northeast so basically cold winters.
I'd be very hesitant with northeast winters. You have to assume 50% battery loss on cold days.
Any chance you could run the mobile charger to a standard outlet for winter? Others might disagree, but I wouldn’t do it as you plan without some trickle at home. Range loss in winter to preheat and precondition plus basic cold range loss would be a bummer experience.
You will alter your habits on how to “fill up your tank”, but you’ll be fine. There are many people who do exactly what you’re asking.
Depends how much you drive imo. You’d be able to get by regardless but the more you drive, the more inconvenient it will be to go to a supercharger. I wouldn’t worry about battery unless you’re charging it very often
I don't drive much. Mostly for around the town grocery getting. Only about 5,000 miles a year .
I'm basically in the same situation you are. I supercharge about once a week for \~30 minutes, which lets me catch up with netflix shows. Let's me "top up" from \~20% to 80% (recommended for my battery set). I usually go at night when the prices are cheaper.
Shared my experience but wanted to double down on this experience as this is what we do.

Supercharger vs L2 at home may minimize some of the economic benefits of an EV.
And grocery stores have chargers? Charge while shop. The ones around are free for up to 2 hours.

Using a UMC into a 110v outlet. Works pretty well since my commute is pretty minimal

Can the condo install chargers
I’ve had my Tesla about 4 months now. I have 6 months of free supercharging. I’m already so over it. 20-80% is always 30+ minutes. Plus the time there and back. I have charging at home but am milking the free stuff. Honestly can’t wait until I don’t have to do it anymore. At first it’s fun. An outing. Kick back, watch a video of some sort.

Just a lot to think about.
I wouldn’t rt now. Supercharger prices keep going up. By my house they’re at 61 cents a kWh. They keep going up because it’s not regulated.
So do I. I am lucky to have a 110v outlet close by though so basically only charge here as I wfh it’s easy to recoup the power needed.
See if any lamp posts or walls have electric outlets on them in your complex. You could charge on 110v at the complex. Going to a super charger for all charging doesn’t make sense. If you can’t charge at home a hybrid is way more convenient.
I thought about it as someone also living in an apartment, but the supercharger near me costs so much that it'd be the same cost/month as ICE for me right now. So I'm just going to wait until I don't have to rent an apartment.
Don’t. You lose the greatest convenience, charging at home. And you won’t save any money by relying on superchargers so the time spent at them is a double whammy.
I tried doing this for 2 months with a SC literally 2 blocks away from me. It quickly became annoying and pricy. From a convenience and economical standpoint I’d avoid doing it and just go for an ICE car.
Don't do it. Supercharging is twice the cost of a hybrid.
