This is excellent information Tom. I intend to trickle charge mine between 10am and 3pm from my roof top solar at about 5 cents per kw, not because it is cheaper, but because I like the idea of running it on sunshine.
Hi tom. A super interested BEV observer here. We have booked a 10 Day rental ATTO 3 from Cairns airport, for an upcoming trip. Have test driven M3SR and P2. But this rental and the way we will be using it, should give a guide on BEV suitability, for us. Your BEV reviews/information are on point. No Tesla overhyping and just great no nonsense information. Keep it up and cheers!
Atto 3 is a great vehicle but it takes a while to get your head around all the accessories and features. I particularly like the steering, ride, adaptive cruise and lane keeping features, they work a treat.
Love your info….thank you. Please give a bit more info on this power plan? I’m taking ownership of my Model Y next Mon. I do approx 100 kms a day minimum. Should I charge every day to what %%
I suggest looking up the Powershop tariffs relevant to your local area as it can differ With regards to charging Model Y, it depends on what variant you have. Tesla recommends: RWD - 100% once a week LR/P - 90% regularly except for long drives where you can charge to 100%
Nice video Tom, as always. Any tips on how to get the charge stats feature? My Tesla app does not have it - unless you are talking a third party Tesla app?

Good question. We have 2x EV charging units: 1x Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector and 1x Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector. Both are 3-phase and are capable of potentially charging to 22kW each simultaneously. But of course most modern EVs (Tesla Model 3/Y included) max out to 11kW only
Hey Tom, looking into a Tesla Model Y at the moment. We live in an apartment without a charging point so would like to know the cost of charging at a supercharger if you have that data?
Hello all ! Unrelated question but I Picked up my model 3 LR last Monday and love it so far. Can anyone advise me what frunk hooks will work in a 2022/23 model 3 ? Thanks.
I do wish tesla had another category "other" free chargers as I drove from Brisbane to Canberra last week and tested how much it would cost if I prioritised free chargers such as nrmas network or others. The trip cost me $14 in superchargers which I really only did pay for to keep the family comfortable including after a power blackout....😂😂
@@LudicrousFeed i meant for my record of total ownership cost comparison to ice vehicles. If you only ever went to superchargers it would not be a big savings over ice vehicles when fuel drops to 1.60.
@@tjw1861 DC chargers are there for the supposed convenience (when they're reliable) and not for cost savings. There is where AC charging at home, is possible, helps reduce TCO. I cover the cost of charging compared to an equivalent ICE in this video: ua-cam.com/video/IMp_vcoLRN0/v-deo.html
Thanks for another great video. For those of us without a Scan my Tesla App subscription, would you please post the Consumption Graph Avg W/km and Proj Range and state of charge number for each of 10k,25k and 50k so we can see if calculating that way gives the same result?
Looking forward to getting my MY with the hope that Charge HQ will help me to put some sun power straight into the car battery to save the most $ (I do read that it doesn't always work that way though). If not will definitely look into Powershop with your link thanks Tom and look forward to not petrol hunt anymore 🤞🏻⚡ Will also wait for Powerwall 3 when it hopefully becomes more financially viable with some LFP action.
@@LudicrousFeed I just had to get my head around what method of charging and potential speed to aim for at home 🤯. Your videos were very helpful and I now have a 5 pin 32a 3ph socket and hopefully my tail will be delivered soon. Will save UMC for last incase a port delay might drop one in my lap 😉 and can test with my neighbours M3 in the meantime.
Unfortunately the app broke all my charging and costs stats at the end of daylight savings time. I always start the charge at midnight for the super-off-peak rate but after the end of daylight savings, it now shows the charging started at 11pm and all the costs now reflect this which is annoying.
I made the switch to Powershop after picking up my MY recently. Went through the process to switch to the electric vehicle plan but now they are saying it takes 20 business days for my plan to change over. It seems like a long time, or is that what everyone else is experiencing?
@@LudicrousFeed Just an update, I had the plan switched over within days which is great. But I noticed the super off-peak rate is now 7 days a week where as you say yours is week days only. Might be worth a call to Powershop to see if this can be changed. Maybe it’s a location thing but I’m only located in Newcastle.
@@LudicrousFeed another really useful feature would be a notification after every charge at a public charge point, where you can enter the exact cost of the charge. eg You charge 7kw at jolt, so enter $0.00. much better than just a blended average.
The Tesla charge stats really need to tie in the data from Powewall gateways. I have 10kw of solar so I only pull 1-2kw from the grid in full sun when charging using 3 phase. But the Tesla charge apps do not reflect this. Charge HQ does.
By comparing with energy and fuel consumption of course ev wins. However if you were comparing depreciation after 3 years of ownership, most most of ev are terrible in average.

Tom I have been doing the numbers on whether to go EV or not. In particular the Tesla My. This has helped seal the deal for us.

Do you have the latest version of the app? Sometimes you have to manually go into your device’s App Store to download/update it
@@LudicrousFeed I'll give it a try. I've only had the car a couple of weeks, so I'm still in the "happy, but overwhelmed" stage 🙂

Is Powershop useless if I don't have solar? Unfortunately my house is a terrace and the usable surface area is not much.
It is still worth looking into without solar for the 7.49c/kWh special off-peak rate for EV owners
I'm glad I watched this video, I just applied for the powershop super-off peak tariff. How long did it take for your switch Tom?
Nice! A couple of weeks from memory
@Ludicrous Feed thanks for the info
What about the costs for those who are forced to use public charging
It’s the old time v money equation then. Some slower chargers are free. Some other faster, more reliable chargers are up to 85c+/kWh
Tom can you please do an owners comparison between the Y and a used S and which would you buy today if you were in that market...
Sure but I’d say many savvy S owners will probably increase prices given Tesla will no longer produce them in RHD
Do you have more than one EV? If so, can you charge both at home at the same time or do you need to alternate?
Good question. We have 2x EV charging units: 1x Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector and 1x Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector. Both are 3-phase and are capable of potentially charging to 22kW each simultaneously. But of course most modern EVs (Tesla Model 3/Y included) max out to 11kW only
Hey Tom, looking into a Tesla Model Y at the moment. We live in an apartment without a charging point so would like to know the cost of charging at a supercharger if you have that data?
It depends as the pricing is dynamic depending on time of day in demand. In 2023, I’ve seen te price vary from 57c to 68c per kWh
@@LudicrousFeed what does that work out at for a full charge? Happy with a rough range.
A RWD Model Y usable battery is approx 57.5kWh hence 0%-100% full charge = $32 to $39 at those prices

@@mitchandrews Excellent News for you! I guess it varies region to region depending on the distributor 👍

Hmm good point. Maybe for a future update perhaps if they include a feature where you can charge from excess solar (much like ChargeHQ does now? 🤔)
@@LudicrousFeed another really useful feature would be a notification after every charge at a public charge point, where you can enter the exact cost of the charge. eg You charge 7kw at jolt, so enter $0.00. much better than just a blended average.
Great suggestion - to toggle the ability to to notify the user and enter the charge rate 👍
@@roygothe2703 yes that's the problem with the tesla app right now. It doesn't take account of different charging costs and venues

Agreed, doesn’t take into account cost of feed in tariff when solar charging

Tesla probably still best of the bunch
Had my model 3 2 months now and done 4000 km

As with any new car the major cost is depreciation. Bring on the wave of cheap second hand 3/Y in 5 years. Maybe then I retire my old Lancer
