EV TOU Charging

[SageBrush]

Telsa will cap your charge rate after a certain number of fast charges, to prevent damage to your battery. So you might want to rethink this.

And people like him will clog up the SCs, wasting his time and devaluing the Tesla brand or leading to SC price increases.

It is a really, really, really stupid idea.

Really? How do those people who use Teslas as taxis handle it? Is it a Model 3 only thing?

They just slow it down, right? How slow? I'll likely only need to charge once a week, but I can space it out. There's a SC the same distance as the gas station I go to so it's remarkably convenient for me.

You can read about it here: Tesla explains why it limits Supercharging speed after high numbers of DC charges

This was reported prior to the release of the Model 3, but I imagine it applies to the 3 as well.

OP I know this is an old thread, but you may want to look into the EV-TOU-5 plan offered in San Diego. You quoted super off-peak rate of $0.23/kWh, however, on this plan they offer that for $0.09/kWh with a $16 monthly fee. You'd make that up in 1 charge.
