Cheaper than domestic day rate ?? Just be pleased it’s there if you need it. Better to charge when parked at work than a 80p fast charger you have to wait for

I get why its that expensive, bit I just don't see anyone using them. Tried the othe charger today and it uses the fuuse app, but it crashed and thought my car was still charging. Oh and the other charger despite being a 7kw is charge at 3.5 so felt very slow. Note I'm just being generous and testing the charges as it was free for the purpose of testing
. My rough man maths pit 60p per kwh as about the equivalent of a 40mpg car.

Left my 9 year old daughter in the car earlier (was watching sons rugby match and she was cold). Cane back to this

Looking for a bit of info. I’ve done two 195 mile trips now. Both have used more than 90% battery but claim to have only used 60kWh.
2020 model 3 LR which has 65k miles on it. Surprised by the lack of range to be honest. Has it got a 60kWh battery by mistake? Raining tonight as I drive back home and got 307Wh/mile.
Was hoping it would do 240-250miles but 210 to a full charge is the same as my cupra born 58kWh
TIA

It should do 240-250 miles if driven sensibly. Was that from a 100% charge?
It should have a 75kwh battery of which about >70 is usable. 307wh/mile is a tad high for a tesla but even at that efficiency it should be good for about 230 miles. Are you making use of the extra power?
I have a 60kwh RWD (with heat pump) and I’ve never not got 200 miles from it, usually a lot more.

Steady drive. No messing but rain will have hurt it. It was full but I see they drain a lot over night and in 20hr it lost 2%. Sentry is off too
Will see how much it takes tomorrow when I charge it. I see there is a way to do a battery health test in service menu too

I have cabin overheat on and sentry on 24/7, climate is set to 20°c auto, regen on, scheduled departure and pre condition on every week day and do 75mph as an average.. and don't see those figures unless using the loud pedal a lot. 
can you even get "third party apps" for these things?

Seems odd if sentry mode is off. I left my Model 3 parked up at the airport for 10 days and it lost about 1%!

There is a hidden service menu that contains a 24hr battery test but I'd leave that as a last measure. You can find tutorials online about it.
You can do a 100% charge and see what the EPA range display indicates and compare that to cars of a similar spec and date. That EPA indicated range, the normal one displayed onscreen is better switched to display % but you may already be doing that. My SR+ for example was delivered with an indicated 232 miles and the last time I checked after 3 years it had dropped to 229. Tesla always used the ~250 WLTP range online.
You could also install an OBD2 mini-wiring loom and use a reader + software for more detailed info. I've had Scan My Tesla since new but I'm thinking of buying S3EXY Buttons/Dashboard for something to play with. Quite expensive though for simply monitoring battery health.
There also ways of monitoring battery stats via the API but I've never done that.

Reference info.
just done my usual commute. Battery was at 69% (my charge setpoint for daily use)
1mile B road, 4 mile A road, the rest Motorway @70 today to be sensible as its wet, heating at 20, I assume it preconditioned before I unplugged this morning and result....

Will look thanks. It was showing 140miles at 50% despite only have done 100miles for the 100 to 50There is a hidden service menu that contains a 24hr battery test but I'd leave that as a last measure. You can find tutorials online about it.

Yes, 100% yes. They tap into the unofficial API and gleam all sorts of data from the car. You can use them to control charging (Octopus Intelligent etc). Some of them can keep the car awake which is the reason they cause phantom drain.
The downside is you usually have to hand over your tesla credentials to a third party so they can generate a API key which basically means giving them the keys to your car. The same API can be used to find the cars location, unlock the car and allow it to be driven remotely.

Examples:
I have home assistant setup to set up charge to a higher percentage and enable preconditioning if I am in the office the next day.
Also unlock the front door if the car returns home
I don't see extra battery usage as the services I use allow the car to sleep properly.

Is it possible to tell what has access? I'm thinking on used cars as there's no telling what previous owners allowed. Would be useful to see.
It's all tied to the owners account, so it's handed over in the app then the access will be blocked. It doesn't communicate directly with the car, so the keep awake is not a concern.
