With over 60,000 miles in our 2019 Tesla Model 3:

$2.75 per 100 miles around town
- - $0.00 free charging around town, ~25-33%.
$3.00 / 100 miles with overnight stay at motel with free charging
$3.50 / 100 miles only using SuperChargers

The first segment is typically 2-3 hours whether from home or motel. There after:

Stop at fast food for bathrooms and sack snack.
Plug-in at SuperCharger for ~20 min charge and sack snack.
Drive about one and a half up to two hours to next SuperCharger.

I am a qualified, Full Self Driving (FSD) beta tester. You had to drive a week, over 100 miles, with a passing safety score, 98% or higher, and no more than three strikes. After two strikes and having learned the criteria, I reset my score and got 100% the next week.

My FSD cost $6,000 in October 2019 and it wasn't until November 2021 that FSD became active. Regardless, my FSD has gone through four upgrades and brings AutoPilot to urban streets. I use FSD as much as possible for entertainment and testing.
