As far as I can tell, the car uses shore power for everything when plugged in, and the difference (when on AC) charges the battery. Since, initially, the cars reported how much power was used to charge the battery (and nothing else) Tesla only charged folk that way. Now the SC stall can report back how much power was used so now they can bill us for total power instead of what is charging the battery.
Why would the car use shore power when at a SC? Why was it designed this way? I'm not electrical engineer, but it makes no sense to me. So now I can't even watch Netflix while charging, because it's going to cost me more money. Ah Tesla, you greedy bastages! lol
