Is your rate 55 cents/kWh (that would be comparable to the highest marginal rates in the country), or do you just use Sentry mode all the time or something?my cost went up about 50 dollars a month from last year....i drive about 70 miles a week....to the gym and back....so, about 300 miles a month on average. not what i was expecting, to be honest.
So a mere $50/$0.08/kWh = 600kWh extra per month for 300 miles per month. 2000Wh/mi. Must be a new record. Even Sentry on all the time would add up to only a 400Wh/mi baseline adder, at 300 mi per month.seems pretty cheap in monroe, LA

Are you by chance comparing to your previous month’s bill? If so, there are way too many variables in month-to-month. You really need to compare to the same month a year ago or to seasonal averages.my cost went up about 50 dollars a month from last year....i drive about 70 miles a week....to the gym and back....so, about 300 miles a month on average. not what i was expecting, to be honest.

I just checked my bills from March, April, May 2020 and compared to the same three months in 2021.
On average, I'm paying $20 less a month than before. Granted I am a light user and only have about 1500 miles on my car.
Seems temperature has a much larger impact on my bill than the Tesla does.

Wow, you're really MAKING money with your Tesla, not scientifically confirmed, of course. LOL
I know right! Clearly I need to buy another one.

GA here and using super off peek hours from 12 to 6 am with free 400kWh and afterwards 0.045 cent rate charging two Tesla’s and having a pool pump running our May bill was 93 dollars total. I have no clue how people are paying 50 cent rates and think it’s normal. I would wave that state good bye in the heart beat unless you are millionaire and could careless.
All else being equal, electricity costs about a fourth to half what gas costs to power your car. If you're going to complain about how much your electricity bill is, let's hear what you used to be paying for gas. Obviously your electricity bill will go up, but that's not the point. Electricity is cheaper per unit of power (they use electricity to pump gas from well to your car, too) and cleaner, usually made from Natural Gas, or in my case, solar panels.
