What is Supercharger cost for an existing Tesla customer?

[Alan Rovner]

Hi all, I'm expecting an A2Z NACS adapter to arrive next week. I'm an existing Tesla Model Y owner. If I go to my local Supercharger to charge my XLT SR truck, I wonder how I will be billed? Assuming Plug & Charge works, it should immediately start charging. Anyone know if the Ford costs are the same as the Tesla costs? Or do I need to turn off Plug & Charge and manually use the Tesla app to start charging?

Thanks for any updates!

Turn off P&C,Use your Tesla account to authorize the terminal manually.
You might need to add the Ford Lightning to your account as a NACS capable CCS vehicle.
Also and most importantly, this station must be a V3 / V4 that has been enabled for CCS/NACS vehicles.

Thanks Taxman, that's a perfect map of my local area. The charger showing 10 open slots is at the local Tesla store which opened a year ago. Very convenient. I added the Lightning in the Tesla app. I can report back when my adapter arrives.

Regards,
Alan

You may need to pay for the monthly membership to get the lower price for your Lightning.

I can say for certain that you don't have to turn off plug and charge to get the Tesla membership pricing. Just initiate the charge with the app before you plug in.

I leave plug and charge active in case my wife needs it. She doesn't want to deal with another app, and if she were to use it, it wouldn't be enough for the membership fee to make sense.

Is that the best way cost wise? Is it more money to have it plug-in charge?
Thanks

Ford P&C charges full Tesla rates.
If one is a frequent road tripper or dependent on 100% public charging, i.e. does not have home charging options, then subscribing to Tesla 12.99 a month discount program would be worth it, YMMV.
