You cannot use these at all without a Tesla account. That's how the billing works.
As someone who actually uses these chargers, that's not even remotely true, and even if it were, they can deliver the maximum output for this vehicle (which it rarely ever hits) at about 20℅ or less of their maximum output.
You absolutely can if you own a Ford or Rivian on Plug and Charge. I don't have a membership, I've used the chargers. Confidently incorrect.
As someone that's clearly used them longer than you, you don't know what you're talking about.
That's why I mentioned vehicles that can charge at a high rate.
My guy, this is a Chevy
LOL absolutely not. I use them almost daily.
So, you just flat out can't read or what? Again, I mentioned vehicles that can charge at higher rates. So that's three times I've said it, let's see if you pick up on it yet.
I bet your lie about daily use still doesn't equal the number of times I've used Tesla chargers. You probably didn't think you were talking to a former Tesla owner. I wonder what you think those videos of people putting wet rags on NACS handles are talking about. Couldn't be derating, certainly.
So confidently wrong.
Nope, can't read. I'm having this conversation via a neural implant 🤦
I don't know why you're doing that when OP obviously doesn't have one of those vehicles...
Ah yes, when someone contradicts you, just accuse them of lying when you know absolutely nothing about them.
Stop lying.
You mean the ones Tesla came out and said it doesn't do anything except create a safety risk?
So confidently wrong.
Big oof energy, bud. Try harder next time.
I agree.
Why do you have to charge every day? How far do you drive?
Couple hundred miles on workdays
🤡
Wow you know you make a good point.
A membership and an account are two different things. I have a Tesla account, and pay about $0.56/kWh at local SCs. If I dropped $7 or so per month on a membership, it would cost me about $0.36/kWh. I don’t because I don’t use them often enough. I have had them derate to 70kW but it was 115F in the middle of the desert, don’t know if it was my car or the charger that was dropping the speed, either way it seemed reasonable at that temperature.
