"No Recent Supercharging"

[gilscales]

I remember reading somewhere that even if you do not have a linked CC then you can charge and the billing will accrue, you will be billed at your first service, don't know if this is actually true though?

I've heard that as well.

Course given there's no required service for at least 2 years on the model 3 (brake fluid every 2 years) I've also heard there's a max of $50 worth of "credit" they'll allow before they suspend your ability to supercharge until you pay.

Supposedly, yes.

Tesla increases Supercharger idle fees to decrease wait times

Furthermore, Tesla owners cannot let their unpaid balance for those fees, or regular Supercharging fees, exceed $50 or Tesla will block Supercharger access.

FWIW not every supercharger appears set up to bill people... I've used 5 different ones in the southeast US and only 1 of the 5 even showed that it was charging me (I don't have free supercharging)- all the rest showed $0.00.... and even that 1 never actually billed me

Authorization and billing happen through the car. The Superchargers themselves are mostly dumb and basically do whatever the car requests. They have cell data, but they don't handle any of the transactions.

Thanks for the image I definitely don't have a history link. I have home account and sign out. I just picked up my car on Monday so maybe it just hasn't posted yet.

I don't have a history link either.

Then why would some superchargers not charge me for using them, but others would, in the same car? (and in both the same state and different ones- so it's not a "everything in the state is free due to bad weather" thing)

Perhaps there is some issue with how/what your car is reporting to the mothership.

I can only state what Tesla says when they open up free SC during emergencies. They state "state-wide", whether that is true or not /shrug.
