Silver one just arrived in Sunnyvale.
California MSRP is $31,490. As expected, this is $1500 more than the standard 3.6 kW charger.

bizzle said:For a typical 36 month lease that's an extra $42 dollars per month.
For people getting lease deals between $100-$200 dollars per month, that's anywhere from a 25%-50% increase in monthly payments.
They might do that, but from what I've seen they tend to amortize options over the span of the lease.johnnylingo said:Yes, along similar lines I realized right after responding that they should be factoring this in to the residual value. Assuming they put that value over $800 than the standard SE, that comes down to under $20/month.
I'm leaning towards the SEL but may ask them for the numbers on this one, out of curiosity
Yeah, there are none around me within a hundred miles. The few that do exist are reportedly nonfunctional most of time according to the notes on plugshare and they aren't within range of anywhere I could go after a charge anyway.FlyPenFly said:Barely any lvl 3 chargers near me.
What is the 0 to 80 percent charge times for level 1 and 2? I know level 3 is 30 minutes.
The answer is not quite that easy.FlyPenFly said:Barely any lvl 3 chargers near me.

FlyPenFly said:The only charging times that matter to me is for a partial fill up so I can get the car home if I'm ever near the limit of range. The last 20% or so in any battery recharge with lithium technology take much longer.
Things like this make me rule out EVs for longer trips.

I'm way too impatient and cautious for nonfunctional chargers or occupied stations. I'll just take my ICE cars.
Look at his payments, though, they factored it in on both ends. His payments are $100 dollars higher than average posted and the residual rate went up at least a full percent so even the standard base models have higher residual values.johnnylingo said:Guess I should have scrolled down the forum before posting, because DepletedZPM leased an SE with 7.2kW charger from Capitol VW on Monday:

A normal residual for a SE is around $12.4 and his was $13.2, so they did factor this in.
