    Supercharger cost, per minute vs per kwh

    Yes, I will update my post to kwh to be more precise. I understand that some states allow them to sell per kwh and some do not, but my question is why one is twice as expensive as the other. Even if HOW they charge is different, I would think that the total final cost for what you are buying...

    Supercharger cost, per minute vs per kwh

    I just finished my first long trip with my Model 3. It was great and supercharging was very fast. My stops were usually about 20 minutes with a couple 30 minutes and some just 10 minutes. I found that whenever I stopped, I barely had time to take a restroom break or a quick snack or lunch...

    Any efficiency advantage to charging slower at home?

    I think so! :-)

    Any efficiency advantage to charging slower at home?

    It does not sound that quick. But I am really just talking about small differences here. Just because curious minds want to know... :-)

    Any efficiency advantage to charging slower at home?

    I have an energy monitor on my charging circuit, and I can tell you for sure that mine does not recharge every hour. I noticed once or twice it kicked in to top off the battery, but it seems very rare to me. Days I don't drive it my monitor typically says zero power output. I have a USB drive...

    Any efficiency advantage to charging slower at home?

    I probably am overthinking it, I'll give you that. :-) But we do know that it is not good to use the superchargers too much, and that it is not good for the battery. Unless they have changed that now too.

    Any efficiency advantage to charging slower at home?

    I have a Model 3 and a Tesla charger at home that delivers 48A. On a normal day, I could easily set my Model 3 to charge at 24A instead of 48A and still have time to get a full charge overnight. Is there any efficiency advantage to doing this? I am thinking if I charge slower there might be...

    Poll: Model 3 Efficiency (Battery-to-Wheels)

    I plug in my Model 3 to my Tesla charger when I arrive at home at the end of the day. Two 60 amp breakers with 6 guage wire. I charge to 80% capacity and have not used a supercharger yet. I never thought about driving more miles per day how it would affect the charging losses, but that makes...

    Poll: Model 3 Efficiency (Battery-to-Wheels)

    Dual motor non-perfornamce, 18 inch areo wheels, tire pressure set cold at 44 lbs when I picked it up. I do not have Version 9 software yet. Battery to wheels: 1289 mi, 271 kWh, 210 Wh/mi Wall to wheels: 1289 mi, 311.2 kWh, 241 Wh/mi I am very happy with these numbers. Love the car! I have...
