Hi Everyone
I am waiting for the delivery of MS in October and meanwhile I decided to see if my electricity plan is comparable to others:
Questions:
1. Question to everyone who owns Tesla: I read few old threads in the forum and I am aware that it is relatively safe to charge MS when there is thunderstorm and lightning but are there any caveats?
2. Question to people who own Tesla in Texas:
My electricity provider is Reliant and when I informed them that I will be charging my MS at home I was told to contact Oncor with whom I have placed service request: They will come to my home next week to check and what needs to be done:
Does anybody have cheaper plan than Reliant? Reliant recommends installing a new meter.
Does anybody in DFW Metroplex use third party chargers like nr eV go? Some charging stations require membership
Here are few intercepts from Reliant :
I bought an electric car want to charge it
XX: so wanted to know about the off peak hours in my plan
Jesus: Your current plan does not have any off-peak hours. It is charged at 5.0 cents for the first 1,000 kWh and 8.5 cents for anything over 1,001 kWh regardless of time of day you use it at.
XX: can you email me this info
XX: how about if it exceeds 2000kWh
Jesus: It will be charged at 8.5 cents per KWh. Says for example you use 2,100 kWh for the month. The first 1,000 kWh will be charged at 5.0 cents per kWh and the remaining 1,100 kWh will be charged at 8.5 cents per kWh. Anything you use over 1,000 kWh will be charged at 8.5 cents per kWh.
In average I use about 600 kWh per month. Not sure how much I will be using when I charge my MS. I plan to drive about 90 miles each day round trip.
Thanks
