The cost of your gasoline/petrol is also much higher there. Nabil's stated issue isn't absolute cost, it's cost relative to running an ICEV.We pay 0.45 usd per kwh here and in europe.... 0.29 is dirt cheap.
I charged up not too long ago on 8/28 at the V3 on Westheimer SC and my invoice still shows per min @ $0.21/min.Supercharging rate was per minute and now it is per KWH which is $.29 per KWH. That is almost as costly as a gasoline car. If you consider the timing spent charging…
It changed last week, I’ve been regularly charging, it’s a recent change. It will show the cost on your screen when you select supercharger.I charged up not too long ago on 8/28 at the V3 on Westheimer SC and my invoice still shows per min @ $0.21/min.
Ah I see. I thought you meant it changed when you started to track it back in July.It changed last week, I’ve been regularly charging, it’s a recent change. It will show the cost on your screen when you select supercharger.
Well my job didn’t transferred me to Japan. But the increase is literally 50% which is way too much. When there’s no hike in cost for electricity nor gas has gone up in Texas, if that happened then I would understand the increase in cost. And supercharger are made to use, there for a reason. So that doesn’t mean someone with overnight charging is the only one who can buy Tesla.If you have trouble with the month to month usage cost of a Tesla you should think about selling it. Especially since your surroundings have recently changed and you only have access to supercharging.
if your job transferred you to Japan you wouldn't pay the cost of exporting your car to Japan you'd probably just sell it.

I don't know who you are ultimately complaining to and what you exactly want to change, but you just need to accept the fact that your living/work situation of having to commute 600 miles a week AND only supercharging is not ideal for you after the pricing change for Texas superchargers. Just sell the Tesla and get an efficient hybrid for now, and hopefully when your situation changes to where you can charge at home and/or work the majority of the time you can get a Tesla (or any other EV) again.Well my job didn’t transferred me to Japan.

Its still cheaper by far than an ICE
Hahaha - yes I have run my numbers. I’m on a 3000m trip right now. My charging time for the entirety is under 6 hours and I also drive “with traffic” in terms of speed. I’ve done multiple road trips in the past year in my M3LR.Did you actually look at some numbers? Clearly this depends on the type of ICE you consider, but you'd be surprised that the price difference for supercharging vs buying gas on long trips is not actually that big.
You are saving a little, that's true, but you are also losing a lot of time. Depending on the Tesla model you consider, on a 3000 mile trip you could potentially end up sitting for 10-15 hours more in the Tesla.
This is by far the worse advice I've seen in this forum and a terrible comparisonIf you have trouble with the month to month usage cost of a Tesla you should think about selling it. Especially since your surroundings have recently changed and you only have access to supercharging.

It's easy to talk but back up your opinion with a rebuttal.This is by far the worse advice I've seen in this forum and a terrible comparison
