One last thing to warn you about if you go ahead and activate the Tesla membership: You only get the membership price if you start the charge from within the Tesla app. You CAN pull up, and plug in, and your Rivian will begin to charge on a plug-in play basis. BUT if you start your charge like...
One of the nice things about the Tesla website is that you can easily start and stop those subscriptions and memberships. When you know you’re going to travel, pay the $12.99 for a month and when you know you’re not gonna travel for a while and therefore will not need a supercharger, cancel the...
To get the discounted tesla rate, you’ve got to first opt in at $12.99/month and then initiate the charge through the tesla app. (You *CAN* plug and play but you will pay the full tesla SC rate.) The discounted subscription of $12.99 generally breaks even at 100kW or so.
Yep. IIRC, the pricing *does not* reflect the subscription price reduction. Scout out the possible SC stations because some are priced cheaper than others
Buying the monthly subscription from Tesla costs $12.99 and payoff is about 105kW. You can start and stop the subscription at any time. It is worth the money if you plan to use the SC at all. Tesla app is very informative
I’ve had my T for 2.5 years and nearly 48k miles now and it has been to the ATL SC three times in that span. I have to say that my experience has been nothing but positive. However, I’m very pleased that the Duncan, SC, center is now open. That 3 hour drive to the north side of ATL (and back) is...
If at all possible, i choose the rightmost charger because i can charge without taking two spaces. Some SC locations have parking on both sides of the chargers which is handy.
Duncan SC is showing as open on Rivian.com now. Mobile service tech confirmed that service appointments were being made for 2025. No offense, but good-bye to Atlanta. I won’t miss that 3-hour slog down and back.
First set of G1 R1T Q 21” tires were driven many, many miles on conserve/lowest and said tires lasted all of 17.6k miles. Got new tires and an alignment at my local tire shop at the low setting. Second set of 21” are at 42.6k miles after, again, many, many highway miles on conserve/low and they...
The way I look at it is this: I specifically choose hotels with free charging and choose to spend my money there so the charge I get is probably included in the room rate. Like the "free" breakfast.
Yep, I20 and I40 through there is a charging desert. (There are a few Tesla SC's scattered but they're mostly v2 and not useable for us.) FYI, the I20 route is about 50 miles farther than using I65 and I65 has several useable SC's. The Crowne Plaza in Baton Rouge is about a full day's drive west...
