It seems like you'd have to use DC supercharging alot to make it worthwhile, but guess you could sign up before making a trip and then cancel the end of the month?

Pricing at Tesla stations varies across locations, times, and charging speed. You could easily save $13 in a month, or a few days on a roadtrip. Signing up before a trip and canceling after is what I plan to do, because otherwise all my charging is at home.

we've seen the difference between member and non-member pricing around $0.10/kWh or more so the breakeven would be ~130kWh/month. long roadtrips would definitely make it worth it.

The cost. He asked about the kWh rate, not the kW rate.

Good point, missed that.

Not concerned about getting the monthly fee refunded, I understand it can't be. I am happy you can come and go as necessary and not keep getting that fee when not using the service.

I never saw that update come though, but Tesla superchargers show up on my Public Charging app in the car as well as in FordPass. Do I have the ability to use the superchargers or not?

If you have an adapter, you can charge. You only need to software update to use Plug & Charge. You can use the Tesla app to initiate a charge session if you don't have the update, and have an adapter.

If the Tesla Supercharger shows in the vehicle's center screen then preconditioning should occur as needed.

Received my A2Z Tesla adapter today, and headed out to nearby Tesla Supercharger to test. Since I had not received the OTA update yet (on 6.2)- was not able to pre condition, or use Plug and Charge. I setup the Tesla App, and charged. Worked great. (15 minutes 27kWh for 74mi)

Charge rate started at 145kW when I started at 47%. Noted:
50% 135kW
60% 110
65% 106
70% 94
75% 94

Yes the cord was really short, (see the pics) and would not have reached if it I was an inch shorter. Slowly moving forward so didn’t hit the poles

One month with GTPE, and getting better every week! Used Plug and Charge with EA a few weeks ago on trip. Now with the adapter we are good to charge with Tesla.

Yikes, they haven't removed those bollards yet. Makes me want to pack a socket set in case that happens...
