Model 3 - Paid Charging

[dturkes]

Used the supercharger 3 times between pickup (12/26) and 12/31. I was never charged on my credit card for that usage. I used the supercharger today for the first time this year and was immediately billed. Technically free charging until the end of 2017? Any other owners notice this?

I have my credit card on file (MyTesla) so I was charged

Mine was loaded on as well but I have no transactions posted in 2017

Picking our Model 3 up this Monday and have been wondering about supercharger costs. Can you post the details of your (C) charge and the ($) charge for it?

Supercharging rates are spelled out on the Tesla web site at

Supercharger Idle Fee

Where are you picking up? Rates vary by location

I picked mine up Friday and it was being Supercharged prior to me arriving and signing papers. During that time, logged out of my Tesla app then signed back in and sure enough the Model 3 shows up. It wasn't until I was messing with the touch screen later that it shows a charge of $13.40. I've since checked my credit card and Tesla account online and I haven't been able to find a charge although I'm not sure where that information is displayed if I was to get charged.

I just went right to my credit card statements and saw the transactions as a "Tesla Motors Deposit" transaction.

Rocklin. Looks like @swaltner answered the question. All these years later I still look for answers here on TMC rather than going directly to Tesla's site. It's an addiction thing it would seem .

 

[dturkes]

Yep. Free charging confirmed for the end of 2017

Perhaps that was the token of appreciation for the line-waiters that Elon Musk hinted at with one of his announcements.

(Sarcasm, but I do not know which face denotes that particular tone.)

Has anyone figured out or gotten an explanation from Tesla about why the dollar amount displayed on the screen inside the vehicle differs from the amount being billed (per You You's and others' reporting)?

(Assuming it has to do with off-board charging losses not showing on the screen but being billed anyway?)

Supercharged several times on a long trip after picking up the model 3 between Christmas and New Year Day. All dollars displayed on the screen. Also never charged to my credit card. Totally unexpected. There is such thing as a free lunch.

Doesn't all paid Tesla Supercharging have the first 400kw for free each 12 month period before you have to pay for your supercharging

Only for S/X without unlimited. Model 3’s don’t get an annual allowance.

On all Model S & X, Yes, but not the Model 3 :-(

OK thanks. As we do not have Model 3 deliveries in Australia until sometime in 2019, this is all just theory to us.
