California Driver Hits 3,000 Miles In A Model Y. Then He Sees How Much He Spent Charging
"The breakdown included charging across multiple sources: 20% at home, 37% at Tesla Superchargers, and 43% at work. While the majority of charging was done at work for free, the driver calculated the costs as if all charging had been paid at the same rate as home charging. "Now, I am in California, so these numbers might be different wherever you live," Sancon noted. The total cost came to $285 for 3,000 miles, averaging about 9 cents per mile."
"According to Tesla's website, charging costs vary by model. Based on driving 100 miles per month, the estimated costs are: Model 3: $124.49 charge cost, $299.46 gas savings Model S: $136.36 charge cost, $379.75 gas savings Model X: $161.62 charge cost, $377.94 gas savings Model Y: $136.36 charge cost, $338.46 gas savings The Model 3 is the cheapest to charge, while the larger Model X is the most expensive."
A Tesla Model Y incurred $285 in charging costs for 3,000 miles, averaging about $0.09 per mile. Charging sources were 20% at home, 37% at Tesla Superchargers, and 43% at work, with cost calculations normalized to home rates. Most work charging was free but was treated as paid for comparability. A gas-powered car averaging 30 miles per gallon would cost about twice as much to operate with California gas prices. Tesla-estimated monthly charging costs vary by model: Model 3 $124.49, Model S $136.36, Model X $161.62, Model Y $136.36; Model 3 is cheapest, Model X most expensive.
