As a follow up to my last post, the more interesting numbers are if you convert the cost to $/kWh so you can 'compare' it to charging at home. My home rate is about $0.14/kWh. Based on the rates listed by the original poster, Tier 2 is 0.17 to 0.28 $/kWh: Tier 3 is 0.17 to 0.31 and Tier 4 is...

(From the Tesla website...) How does pricing work? Whenever possible, owners are billed per kWh (kilowatt-hour); in other areas, owners are billed per minute. When billing per minute, there are four tiers to account for changes in charging speeds: ‘Tier 1,’ ‘Tier 2,’ ‘Tier 3’ and ‘Tier 4.’...

I don't think you provided enough details to work through the calculations. You would need to know a. off peak rate and time AND on peak rate and times: b. average energy consumed per day without car charging: c. average daily car charging. All the Time Of Use plans I've seen spell out the...

Yes, I can confirm from actual experience that the car will not engage into Drive if you still have the charging cord plugged in (although it did take me about 10 seconds to figure out what the stupid smart car would not go into Drive :eek: )

Supercharger rates are expensive. The original poster states 11 or 12 mile to a dollar which is 8.3 to 9.0 cents per mile. But "expensive compared to" a ICE at 35 mi/gal?? Let's do the math... gas is assumed to be $3.00 per gallon... $3.00/gal * 1gal/35mi = $0.086/mile. So a gas car is 8.6...

If you enter the destination into the navigation, you can use the Trip screen under the Energy section. I find that estimator to be way more accurate since it updates itself as you drive with actual energy usage. You might still wind up at 10 or 15% when you expected 20%, but at least you will...

"The Ground goes on the bottom!!" I can hear my high school shop teacher yelling. I'm afraid if I put the ground at the top, he will jump out of his grave and slap me on the head (not an uncommon practice in the early 80's)... :)

Tesla has some good advice at Winter Driving Tips Preconditioning is turning on the climate (to a warm temp) via the app, or in the car. If you are plugged in, you will consume shore power (power from the utility company and not the battery itself). Preconditioning will warm the cabin in 5 to...

Ugg, sorry to be "that guy" but the expression is "jibes with". Jive is a type of music or meaningless chatter (or a song...1958 Johnny Otis 'Hand JIve'). But since you probably won't read this post, it is a mute point.... :)

Some of the original posts say the difference is 7 mile of charge per hour. That is not accurate if the Wall Connector is wired with a 60 amp breaker. In that case, the max current is 48 amps compared to the Mobile Connector of 32 amps, so it's (32 amps = 30 miles/hr) - (48 amps = 44 miles/hr)...

For what it's worth, I've had my High Power Wall Connector (HPWC) for about 1 year, and I've never connected it to my WiFi network, and my car has not blown up...yet.

I'm not 100% sure I understand your question. Just to be clear about terminology, the Model Y comes with a Mobile Connector (first image below). It consists of a Mobile adapter (it comes with the NEMA 5-15 for 120v 10 amp charging, but you can buy others see second image below), and the...

Let me chime in on a few items: - My MYLR consumption on trips (50 to 80 miles in one direction, at 50% 70mph, 30% 60mph, and rest city-ish, mild heat or air conditioning) is roughly 270 Wh/mi. For longer trips, I "plan" on 280 Wh/mi with a 'drop dead' limit of 300 Wh/mi. - (my 9,900 mile...

Just as a 'data point' for consideration. My house was built in the mid 80's. Underground Electrical feed is from the back yard. It had a 100 amp breaker box. I upgraded to 200 without needing to have the underground feeders upgraded. So, back in the 80's when things were tight, they still...

Mine was around $1500, and that *inculded* swapping out the electrical panel from a 100 amp to 200 amp (and a 25 foot run to an attached garage for the Wall Connector 60 amp circuit. Oak Creek, WI.

Are you (jjgg and DayTrippin) sure that the vehicle is unlocked before attempting to stop the charge? Sometimes, when I approach my MY (ha ha, get it?...I'm sure I'm the first person to use that joke), the car does not detect my phone app, and therefore will not unlock, which means you cannot...

There are two numbers to deal with here...battery kwh and home 'draw' kwh. The battery one is easy, when you charge, the Tesla shows you how many kwh were 'added' to the battery. BUT, that is not the same as how much power your just drew from the power utility (it's not 100% efficient). You...

People tend to under estimate the effect of speed on energy consumption. A general rule is to take the speed at which you get your rated range (call it 50 mph for a tesla), and use this formula to guesstimate the drop Range*50^2 / mph^2. So at 80 mph, it's 324*(50*50)/(80*80) or 324 * 0.39. So...

Yikes! Are you towing a 50 foot camper!?!? My MY 19" wheels, LR, has 7100 miles. I didn't reset trip B until about 2000 miles later...but my Trip B is at 5284 miles and 256 Wh/mi. That is pretty typical. Some Dead-Of-Winter (with a head wind and 70 mph) trips will come up at 400 Wh/mi...but...

With a conservative range of 200 miles, and a 20 min stop (which are on major roadways, so maybe 3 miles out of your way) to add 100 more miles, AND your use of the words "print out the directions" and "a few hours late" makes me think that, perhaps, you don't own a Tesla.

Have you looked at the Facebook group "Tesla Owners Wisconsin"? They host some new owner workshops which you might find worthwhile. Also, if you want to talk over your charging question or concerns, let me know. I'm in the MKE metro area.

If you store the handle in the connector, they (with the cable loop), you will need about 16 inches (that includes a couple of inches for your hand). I use a traffic cone as my backup guide (it's soft and flexible, so if I bump it, no scratches), and I just store the handle in that. I can't...
