I first got my Model S in November 2018, I did not immediately switch to a TOU plan. This was a HUGE mistake.
It has made a world of difference to my bill. This cycle was the first with the TOU and it dropped my bill from $248.87 to 95.86.
I am sharing for new owners that haven't yet changed their plan. In the previous plan (tiered plan - domestic) I was going over Tier 1 most days into the more expensive tier 2. With the TOU, most of my EV charging is set to begin at midnight when the super off peak hours kick in.
This made a huge difference in my monthly bill.
For those who still haven't, TOU plans are essential! Unless you are home on the on peak hours, it makes the most sense - especially when charging at night. It only really takes us 2 hours to get the Model S to 90% for daily driving.
P.S. - this is in SoCal (SCE/Edison)
