    Hi all, I know the rule of thumb when it comes to SOC is 20-80% and it is okay to go above 80% for a short period of time like before the long road trip when your battery will discharge bellow 80% after an hour or so of driving. However, when it comes to the lower level of SOC, is it okay to...

    Hello, When I use supercharger for my 2022 Model Y then it charges at the cost of 11-12 miles per $1 so basically $1 for 1 miles it's $0.10 which is expensive compared to my Gas car with a gas mileage of 35 per gallon. 1. All are getting charged with these expensive rates? 2. Can you all share...
