Can someone who doesn't have free supercharging see what the rates are on the nav anytime they want? I ask because I have FUSC in my current S and it appears I can't see the rates which makes sense but it doesn't provide very good transparency for those who don't own a Tesla that are trying to pencil out cost of gas vs cost of charging per mile. Why does it cost more per kwh for the highest tier? It looks like it punishes those that pull in with a low SOC, charge fast, and get out fast. At least in the article I read that gave the 0-60kw @ 0.12 cents vs 180-250 kw @ 1.35 cents. Maybe it's not like that everywhere and it was a bad example? Is it still peak and off peak in California with the new tiered pricing?Why can't tesla just charge per kwh based on time of use? If they're going to do the tiered thing, you'd think the only reason would be to encourage behaviors that result in spending the least time at superchargers rather than charging to higher SOCs and arriving at higher SOCs to reduce per kwh cost even if it means staying at each charger longer.....or doing things like NOT actively navigating to prevent the battery heater from pre-heating for faster charging.</blockquote>
