The charging (money wise) of superchargers.

[gherkin12]

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how you are charged when it comes to utilising the superchargers please (or point me in the right direction).

So a few weeks ago (4 days after taking delivery) we went to Santa Barbara from Las Vegas stopping at Primm and Hisperia to charge (plus local charging at superchargers when we arrived at the destination) - we weren't charged anything.

Yesterday we travelled to Carlsbad stopping at Barstow to charge (again supercharger) this time we were charged.

Not complaining at all just curious.

TIA

If you login to tesla.com in a browser and go to account/charging it will list all of your Supercharger sessions and what you paid for them.

Did you use up your 1,000 mile allotment from your referral bonus? After that is used up, then Tesla begins to charge you at Superchargers.

So yeah checked my tesla account and it's only showing the session from Barstow yesterday - I don't think I have 1000 free miles as my mate gave me his referral link after I'd ordered and tesla Las Vegas said they couldn't apply it retrospectively

It also tells you in the nav what the SC will charge.
Cost is also displayed on the charging screen while you're charging.
Sometimes the location will cover the cost of the charge, but thats up to them, its easier to assume you will be billed what it says in the nav beforehand and charging screen while your charging.

Ah so the location can cover the cost, that might explain it, didn't realise that could occur

it's usually $0.34 kwh. You are billed every time you use a tesla supercharger without a referral code. Tap on the supercharger location on the map then it will show the price of the supercharging location. You can email the referral team. I dont remember the email

You can email [email protected] with your reservation number and the referral code. And they will add it for you up until delivery day. Some SAs have not been helpful.

However, not sure if they can do anything for you after delivery. But who knows. It’s worth a shot if you explain it to them that you didn’t get the initial 1,000 miles.

You may have received a GIFT. All of the replies above clearly provided all the info you need to manage and understand how SCing operates.

Thank you guys, I'm going to got with the location taking the cost. Going to see what happens on the trip back by stopping at Hisperia again and see if I get charged. Thank you for the referral email as well
