Anyone paid for Model 3 charging yet?

[Garlan Garner]

Simple questions:

Has any Model 3 owners out there paid for Tesla Supercharging yet?

How does that work for you?

How much per kwh?

By the photos yes. But I doubt they're on these forums.

Your account will be charged based on the kwh rate in your location. There has not yet been confirmation if Model 3 gets 400 kwh free annually though.

We have variable rates where I live. Not everyone pays the same thing.

That's for model S and X which are still free and unlimited.

That's why I was asking for real Model 3 owners to provide some real data. Teslas website isn't correct.

It's only free if you use a referral code. The pay structure is mentioned on the page and I anticipate that it will be the same structure for the Model 3.

Is there some sort of gag order on new Model 3 owners? Not a peep from them anywhere it seems....

My bet is an NDA across the board on this group.

I'm wondering when the first non-employee 3 will be sold. So all the info we are waiting on will start pouring in.

Remember... they are employees.

Anybody know a good investment play on gag manufacturers? Lots of people being gagged.

Whoever it ends-up being could potentially become a YouTube star.

I thought we would get more out of Steve Jurvetson. I wonder if he was told to stop after his first couple of videos.

I did pay for Supercharging with my X. It came without free Supercharging, before Tesla decided to give it to all X and S owners. I'm one of the few with truly free Supercharging (not priced into the car price and free to use). I'd be surprised if Supercharging the Model 3 didn't work exactly the same as when I was paying.

I had a credit card on file with Tesla. They charged it every time I used a Supercharger. I didn't have to do anything different at the Supercharger. Each state has a different cost, some kWh based and some time based, as shown on the Tesla Supercharging link. I believe that is mainly to avoid regulations about reselling electricity. I was able to see the different rates and kWh/time amounts and charges for each Supercharger stop on the MyTesla page. Three times I was not charged at all. Not sure why that happened, but they did know I had used the charger since it showed up on the invoice history.

Picked up the X in March, took the big road trip in April and racked up $155 in Supercharging after my free 400 kWh. Soon after, Tesla announced free Supercharging for everyone and refunded my $155!

This is perfect information. Thanks for responding.

We have different power companies in the Chicagoland area. For instance Naperville Il has its own power company with different ( higher ) rates than its surrounding cities. There is a Tesla supercharger in Aurora IL which is the next door neighbor of Naperville Il.

I suppose Tesla would use the electricity rate of the city that it exists in.

Tesla clearly stated that they will determine the rates and be consistent within a region/state/country.

If customers travel beyond their annual credit, they will be charged a small fee to Supercharge. In North America, pricing is fixed within each state or province; overseas, pricing is fixed within each country. In most regions, Tesla owners will pay per kWh as it’s the fairest way to pay for the exact energy used. However, due to local regulations, in several regions we will charge per minute of usage instead, though we are actively working with regulators to update the rules.

But my question is: I'm wondering how Tesla is charging those close to where I live.....where there are 2+ different power companies charging 2 to 3 different rates.
I understand what Tesla is saying. Its just that the power companies aren't conducive to Tesla's objectives.

Tesla has said it's by state. Doesn't matter about the local power company. Tesla will be the one billing you, not the power company.

I get what you are saying, however what I'm asking is this:

If one power company charges .02 kwh and the other charges .12 per kwh - IN THE SAME STATE......what is Tesla going to charge? .33 per kwh?

Is Tesla supposed to be competitive?
