    Do you smell that? Smells like something burning or melting, or both.

    So this is what i charged
    Power Tier 1 @ $0.20/min
    Power Tier 2 @ $0.40/min

    which is not what it shows on the cars navigation.
    Power Tier 1 @ $0.12/min
    Power Tier 2 @ $0.24/min

    literally double......this is the highest that i have seen a supercharger.

    8.25%
    Supercharging Fee ±Power Tier 2 $0.40 / min
    Supercharging Fee ±Power Tier 1 $0.20 / min

    Unit Costs Excluding Tax
    $0.3695 / min
    $0.1848 / min

    What pisses me off is that the cars navigation doesn't say that price. Its misleading.

    So i called Tesla, and they confirmed that there is an error in pricing. They are working on updating it to the proper pricing of 0.12/min and 0.24/min instead of that crazy high price.

    Also noticed that Austin(yes, off topic) is listed as a kWh pricing in the nav.

    Are you suggesting that 40 is literally double 24?

    Did you look at the receipt on the Tesla website?

    Although its not related to the superchargers, I did notice that Fort Worth got one of 350kwh electrify America charging stations over by the Sams Club by Ridgmar Mall. I think it was CCS and Chademo adapters, but forgot which was which for the high power charger. It looks like it is ready to go.

    It’s been open for awhile. I have used it when Fort Worth was completely ICEd. CHAdeMO is unfortunately limited to 50kW. A21509F7-5A5E-4BFF-A02F-873E2A9FCFE7.jpeg

    Looks like the FW supercharger has been down the last 2-3 days according to the Tesla iPhone app. Anyone know why?

    We've been having rolling blackouts across the area due to the winter storm. That's probably why.
    And, when I say rolling blackouts I mean that the power at my house has been out for 11 and 12 hours at a time.

    Well, I guess messing with Texas is just as easy as turning down the thermostat a few degrees.
