Notes on my first charge at a Tesla station:
Holy shit these cables are short, I'm lucky that this stall with a more accessible charger opened up.
The first two chargers I tried didn't work.
The Tesla app sucks, I had to restart it twice before it let me start charging.
I'm using the A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter, works great!
Not sure where you're located, but without a "membership" for Tesla charging, the cost is about double any other company near me. It's insane and a great reminder to only use these chargers in an emergency when you have a vehicle capable of charging at higher speeds. Tesla's chargers derate all the damn time.
This location was $0.44/kwh, another one nearby was $0.62/kwh. The Electrify America station near me is usually $0.45/kwh.
Bleh, I'm grateful for I lived long enough to see people comparing charging stations' prices like they did with gazoline ones, casually, like it's a normal thing now. One additional advantage here though is that no one can mix piss and water with your electricity input like it has been done with gas.
As if you need more proof that @drdabbles@lemmy.world doesn't know what they're talking about.
Woops. It seems like you're so ignorant of charging that you don't know prices can and do vary by location. You've been so wrong that it's almost impressive.
