Actual supercharging cost?

How much is Supercharging?
Specific pricing for each Supercharger location is shown on the popup of the selected pin on the navigation application on the vehicle touchscreen. When you Supercharge, the session total is shown on your Tesla touchscreen.
Press the Supercharger icon on the bottom right corner of the map and zoom out to see the chargers. Click on a chargers and you’ll get info like above.
Interesting. I just tried 20 or so in ON and they all reported the pricing. Off the top of my head I remember trying Thunder Bay, North Bay, Kingston, one in Mississauga (I expect there's more than one), and a whole bunch more. Mine is a 2018 LR M3 RWD, not sure if that matters.
EDIT (for after thought): maybe you don't get pricing because it doesn't matter when you've got free Supercharging. Once that's over, then the pricing appears. Wild guess on my part, but does make sense.
Also keep in mind that the state of charge of your battery will have a big impact on the actual cost of course.

I'm still on free referral supercharging. I've never paid for supercharging.
I just went out to my M3 LR (parked in Scarborough) and checked a number of superchargers in Ontario. All of them show the charge rates. They all showed "CA$0.22 or CA$0.44/min".
I had done the same thing back in July of this year and saw the prices showing then, as well (on an earlier software version).

Nope; my Supercharging in Toronto is more than my Supercharging in Huntsville or North Bay.
Yes, the cutoff is still 60 kWh; when I see I'm charging in the 70s, I generally unplug and move on. I've never been in a situation where I was desperate to charge and needed to stay.

Thanks for that info. Thinking the municipal lot next door to me that uses FLO at $2.50 an hour will end up being about the same cost and more convenient.
That has not been my experience. For my experience so far, it seems to have varied more with how long I'm there, more than what the SOC is. In reality, it's probably both time and SOC. I wonder about whether the overall load on the SC location is a factor? If all the SC in that location are full, will the kWh decrease to each car?
You’re right. Now that my free charging is coming to an end I’m paying closer attention. Plugged in today at 16% and maxed at 100 for maybe 30s and dropped to below 60 at 45% which took 7 mins or so. No idea why they don’t allow the max the battery can handle as the other day it was over 60 for far longer. Took 28 mins to get to 70% today. Only one there and warm battery.
It is so very variable - it would be great if there were a way to track and consider all the different variables. Usually I am at above 100 kWh for the vast majority of of my charging to 70% or 80% SOC, but other drivers have said they drop way down in "speed" a lot earlier.
I've only had my MY for about 5 months, but my plan is to average my cost per kWh at SC after about 6 months......I want to compare it to the price of using a public L2 EVSE. I don't have home charging that is part of my electric bill, but I have an L2 EVSE in the parking garage of my condo, where I'm paying about $0.25/kWh. I want to know how that compares to SC charging use in real life.
This sucks. Plugged in at 20%. Wanted 80%. Maxed out at 93kw and dropped to 59kw by 33%. So now I get to sit here for 35 minutes waiting to get up to 80% because for some reason even though my battery can charge quicker than this I have to sit here at less than super charging speed. I get tapering when it fills up but at 33%???!!!!
