    Enlightening Round Numbers Miles/kWh used/Avg WH/mi

    I just hit some round numbers on my 2021 MYLR. Drove 45,000 miles, used 12,000 KW for an average 267 WH/MI rating. I'm in my early 60's so I don't have a lead foot but consistent highway speeds of 70-80 MPH. If I only used home charging at .15/kWh, it would have cost me $ 1,800 to drive the...

    Tesla 14-50 Gen 1 Gen 2 Charging Cable Gone Bad

    Hi All, I had a 2015 MS and now a '21 MY & '22 M3. A few years back my Gen 1 cable crapped out. It would pop breakers when plugged into 14-50 receptacle. Just yesterday my Gen 2 charging cable crapped out also. No green lights (or red light) show on transformer unit. I took cable to Tesla...

    NEW JERSEY First Energy/JCP&L Charging Incentives

    Seems First Energy/JCP&L is finally offering incentives to add home charging capability. Not for hardware at first read, but for electrician labor to run cabling/make connections. Also offering a .02/kWh discount for off-peak. Waited for years and hardly worth the effort.

    Gen 1 Charging Cable i used w/o issue since 2015 now keeps tripping Breaker

    Hi All, I have used a Generation 1 Tesla charging cable since 2015 (2015 Model S) with 14-50 plug. Now my car is 2021 Y but I still use the old Gen 1 cable. Never had an issue.

    SuperCharging Determining Costs? Off-peak pricing options?

    Hi All, I just sold my '15 MS last month so free supercharging has always been available. Now I have a '21 MY with no free charging. I've read on another forum that some super charging locations are .34/kwh and someone on Long Island NY posted he pays .17/kwh. Are the fluctuations in...

    NJ Charge Up Tax Credit

    Anyone have any updates on the Charge Up Tax Credit? We're 2 weeks out till July 1, the start of the fiscal year. Apparently NJ is awash in tax revenues (go figure). I've delayed my MY delivery to hopefully benefit by this tax credit. Also hoping to benefit if the Fed's raise Tesla's 200,000 car...

    NJ EV Credit Charge-Up Summer 2021

    I'd love to see this post remain atop somehow of the Mid-Atlantic forum as it may be time sensitive. There have been posts in the past regarding whether it would be $5,000 going forward or would some pricing thresholds limit POS rebate. I do feel as we are 1/4 of the way through June, that if a...

    New Model Y Delivery

    I ordered a Model Y on May 14. At that point the Tesla factory was just set to reopen on May 18th. The sales rep said to expect 10-14 weeks, possibly longer due to scaling up once again. I thought that would be perfect as the NJ Rebate should have been up/running by late July/August. Today, 3...

Today I plugged in at home and I'm maxed at 32A(24 mi/hr) versus what I've always received 40A (29-30 mi/hr). Was there a software update that now limits charging rate? On a side note, I recently charged...

    Long Island L.I.E. Use of HOV/Green Pass Lanes
