Hi guys,
3 weeks into owning my first Tesla.
I always leave my wall connector on, and I leave my MY plugged every time it is parked in my garage. I have driven 500miles so far.
I just checked my meter reading, and I already used twice the electricity amount for the same period of time before I got my Tesla. There is no change in my usage pattern except for charging the MY.
My neighbor tells me that I need to turn off the breaker for Wall connector when I don't use it. But does that really make difference? Doesn't it stop using electricity once it hits the charging target??
I am pretty shocked at the increase in my meter, at this pace, I might end up paying more in elec bill than I save in gas.
Are you all turning the breaker off for the wall connector when not using it?
