Looking at my ezpass history recently wondering why my account is replenishing more often than it should, I noticed that ever since I moved up to the finger lakes 3 months ago and my work schedule takes me every thursday from around Harrison NJ straight up through Newburgh I noticed that New York was slamming me with a MAX TOLL every time I get on the NY Thruway at Garden State Parkway (exit 14) and getting off at Newburgh (exit 17).
The charge should be $1.33 but they are charging me $16.10. this happened 9 different times so they have ripped me off ~$132 over the last 3 months. (basically once a week). all of this is because the ezpass doesn't read through the Tesla Model S's defective windshield.
In NJ (aka NJTurnpike) they are able to just read license plates and figure out where you entered and exit and my account gets charged appropriately (I've confirmed this reading the statements and looking at charges), but in NY they just hit you with a MAX TOLL of $16.10 per instance. WTF. currently disputing this.
so basically a PSA to anyone using these ezpass (& equiv) tags on Tesla's KNOWN defective windshield to check your account statements for errors like this. (fyi Tesla refused to replace my defective windshield even though obviously it was delivered to me defective on day 1.)
here's a snippet showing 3 of the MAX TOLLs they are slamming me with every week:
