I was under the impression that Tesla footed the bill for them. Probably just for the stations alone, and perhaps the extra cost of running electricity to them, but there were certainly city employees involved in the trenching and other stuff necessary for the install.
 


Tesla wouldn't exist if it wasn't propped up with tax money.

In 6-8 years, the battery needs to be replaced at a cost of $8k-$12k. Tesla may not even be around.

I think owners treat it more like a hobby. My friend's husband owns one and she hates the thing.
