D'oh, I missed the meter box when I was there earlier.

How do Tesla owners feel about Ford being allowed to charge now and take up charging spots?

This blows my mind. Construction on the Superchargers going in around me have taken 5 months. Have been wrapped in bags essentially ready to go for the last two months.

Gulf Breeze sat for several weeks before being brought online, IIRC.

A lot of it seems to depend on the local power company, contractors, and getting the needed transformer(s).

Hello, I'm new to Tesla and getting ready to purchase a Model Y and will be using this Supercharger as my main charging as I live in a condo. How can I figure out how much I'll be spending on using superchargers only? Thank you in advance.

IMO, if you can't charge at home you should reconsider a Tesla. In this area, it's .32 to .37 per KWH at superchargers, and less than half that to charge at home.

That said, this isn't the thread for that kind of discussion. That's a better topic for the general discussion subforums.

I went to the car and looked up prices for the closest 4 stations, all 0.34 $/kWh. (Crestview, Defuniak, Navarre, Panama City)
Now how much will you use per mile? My Model 3 (highway use, 80,000 miles) 290 Wh/mi. My Model Y (mixed use, 6,000 miles) 280 Wh/mi. The car calculates this. So say 300 Wh/mi (if you have a lead foot) that is 0.3 kWh/mi.
Finally 0.34*0.3 =0.102 $/mi
Like HollywoodSX said home is much cheaper 0.14*0.3 = 0.042 $/mi
But 300 miles being $30, not bad.
... work on your Condo to get chargers installed.

Indeed.

And I'll say again, a Tesla can charge just fine on an ordinary 120V outlet. It's slow, but it works great. My daughter uses a 120V outlet to charge at her condo. It's all she needs.

Thank you for the great information!

Inconvenience is always better than gas...chargers will only be more and more common so will become less and less of an issue.

HollywoodSX, I only brought it up in this thread is because I will be using this charger as my primary, as I live just a couple miles from it. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers LOL. Some people are so uptight!!!

No idea why you thought I had ruffled feathers or was uptight, but this thread is for discussion of the Supercharger location in question. There's not very many people watching this thread due to that scope. You'd get a lot more info and feedback if you made a post in the Model Y subforum.

I visited the Destin Florida Tesla Superchargers near Winn Dixie on March 3, 2024 and all 10 stalls were without power. The site looks ready to go on-line.

You can charge (level 2) at Destin Commons for free. Last time I was there, one of the plugs wasn’t working, but three were working.

 

[DPDC]

When I Supercharge from 20% to 80% the cost is typically $15. You need a level 2 charger at your living location.

Passed by this morning and still no meter installed.

You will get about 60 miles overnight with 120V.

My brother lives on 120v as well. Not a problem.
