Oil giant Shell to offer Tesla Model 3 and Model Y subscriptions in Germany

Shell may have established its legacy as an oil and gas giant, but the company has shown an eagerness to present itself as an advocate of sustainable solutions. In Germany, for example, Shell has launched a dedicated electric vehicle subscription program, which covers popular electric vehicles from the Fiat 500-e Icon to the luxurious Porsche Taycan.

But that’s not the most interesting part of Shell’s electric vehicle subscriptions in Germany. A look through the EV subscription options reveals that Shell is actually offering the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor and Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor to customers in Germany. Tesla stands out as Shell’s longest-range EV thanks to its subscription service in Germany.

Those who sign up for Shell’s Tesla subscription in Germany will get many perks, though they come at a cost. The Model 3 standard range, for example, costs €599 (US$650) per month for a 2-year, 20,000-km (12,427-mi) plan. Meanwhile, the Model 3 Long Range costs €729 (US$803) per month, and the Model Y Long Range costs €859 (US$946) per month for the same 2-year, 20,000-km plan.

Shell’s EV subscription customers have access to a number of key services. Car insurance is included, and so are seasonal tires and maintenance, among others. Shell’s recharge cards are also bundled into the service, which should give customers a healthy number of accessible charging stations around Germany. The oil giant noted that the electricity used in the Shell recharge network comes from 100% renewable energy generated from wind, solar and biomass.

Shell has confirmed Teslarati that its Tesla subscriptions are so far only available to permanent residents in Germany. And while high-priced electric cars like the Porsche Taycan are already available in service today, Shell currently has no plans to expand its Tesla lineup to include the flagship Model S sedans and Model X SUVs. Shell also notes that at least for now, it is uncertain whether the service will be offered in other countries outside Germany.

Customers looking to acquire the Model 3 Standard Range Plus, Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor and Model Y Long Range Dual Motor through Shell’s EV subscription program may have to wait for a longer wait. According to Shell’s official site, what Tesla is offering currently has a waiting time of 20-24 weeks. This is likely to improve in the future, especially as Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin ramps up its vehicle production.

Tesla Model Y welcomed by Kansas PD, expected to give cost savings – Elon Musk - Elon Musk

In a recent press release, the Leawood Police Department in Kansas announced that it had acquired a Tesla Model Y Long Range for its fleet. The vehicle would be used as one of the Leawood PD’s patrol cars. The Model Y has already been painted in the Leawood PD’s black and white colors. The department noted that they started looking into the idea of an all-electric patrol car last year after seeing dismal reviews of available hybrid patrol cars. Captain Kirt Yoder, the agency’s project manager, noted that Tesla Kansas had been quite helpful. “I ended up contacting about ten agencies from New York to California. Tesla-Kansas City was great. They were eager to help and answer all our questions,” he said. Apart from being a green vehicle, the Model Y is also expected to give the Leawood Police Department substantial cost savings. Over a year ago, a cost comparison already showed that the department’s Ford Explorer patrol SUV would cost about $4,500 per year to run. That was a time w...

Tesla’s mass layoffs reached the Autopilot team in San Mateo. Autopilot workers have started posting the news on LinkedIn.  People familiar with the matter told  Bloomberg  that Tesla laid off about 200 Autopilot workers from its San Mateo office. San Mateo had around 350 employees before the recent layoffs. Tesla transferred some of the San Mateo staff to a nearby facility in previous weeks.  The Autopilot team in San Mateo worked on customer vehicle data, specifically data labeling, for Tesla’s autonomous driver assistance features.

Sen. Joe Manchin blasts EV tax credit expansion, calls for hydrogen development

West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin blasted a potential expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit on Thursday, while also calling for the development of the hydrogen sector to decarbonize the transportation industry. Manchin, who called a Biden administration proposal to broaden the EV tax credit program “ludicrous,” said the waiting period for EVs right now is already so long that there is no point to offering more money to incentivize consumers to buy a battery-powered car. “There is a waiting list for EVs right now, with the fuel prices, but they still want us to throw a $5,000, or $7,000 or $12,000 credit for us to buy electric vehicles,” said during a Thursday Senate budget hearing. Manchin added that production volumes of EVs are far away from fulfilling current demand levels, so it would be ridiculous to offer additional funding to the programs. It is evident that EVs are becoming more popular, and with automakers in nearly all situations relating to EVs still workin...
