Supercharger network access for Cybertruck Cyberbeast?

[Killlbox]

We're going to take the Beast to a supercharger for the first time today since we -STILL- don't have PowerShare.

In the app, under Specs and Warranty it shows we have "Supercharger Network Access + Pay-as-you-go".
When we go to Charging it doesn't show that we have an account but we can setup one for "Other EVs".

I'm so confused. Do we have a supercharger membership by default or do I have to setup a separate account for "another EV" that doesn't exist and use it for the Beast?

First time Tesla owner with their half-baked information/service is frustrating.

No need to create an other-EV account unless you have a non Tesla vehicle that you wish to charge at a Supercharger. Go plug in your CT and enjoy the simplicity of the Tesla supercharger network.

As long as your Cybertruck is in the app and you have a payment source under Charging, you should be all set.

But do I have a membership for reduced charging rates or do I pay the $12.99 for that?

 

[Stuck4ger]

That membership stuff is for non-Tesla owners. You should be set up to supercharge without any action required. I assume you have a payment method in your app.
1. Touch the 3 horizontal bars in the top right of the app.
2. Select charging
3. Select manage payment
4. The supercharger will know the car and the driver and charge that account automatically

Also, 'Other EV' is for people that are driving Non-Tesla cars. If you've got a CC on your Tesla account, literally all you need to do is plug in and you will be fine.

Also, keep in mind if you keep going back to this supercharger till you get your PowerShare, then use navigation TO the supercharger. That will trigger the “preconditioning battery for faster charging “

if you just show up at the charger, it will still work. Just slower.

No membership needed.
You are charging a Telsa.
All you have to do is go and plug in and the network handles the rest (assuming you already have a credit card entered- Go to 'charging' then 'payment' on the app to double check)
Also, you can plug in and charge at home on a 110V with the mobile connecter that came with your truck.
No need to go pay the higher Supercharger rates (only need them when on a road trip)

Even better if you have a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet available

Thank you all!! I didn’t know that by owning a Tesla we automatically got access and we will precondition the battery.

We have 110 at home but it’s sssllooowwww and we went on a road trip yesterday and are down to 38%.

It's summer, so not that much slower and if you have free time not setting the destination saves a few kWh which can add up cost wise.

The OP is in Wyoming. No Tesla is happy in the winter on a 15 amp 120V plug in a Wyoming winter. The Battery Management System periodically needs more power than the 120V outlet can supply. If it's really cold out, it might spend all tha available electricity on trying to get the battery warm enough to charge.

Yup, we’re in Cheyenne. We have power share approved and are waiting for the installation. Just need better options between now and then.
