The charge should be $1.33 but they are charging me $16.10. this happened 9 different times so they have ripped me off ~$132 over the last 3 months. (basically once a week). all of this is because the ezpass doesn’t read through the Tesla Model S’s defective windshield.

In NJ (aka NJTurnpike) they are able to just read license plates and figure out where you entered and exit and my account gets charged appropriately (I’ve confirmed this reading the statements and looking at charges), but in NY they just hit you with a MAX TOLL of $16.10 per instance. WTF. currently disputing this.

so basically a PSA to anyone using these ezpass (& equiv) tags on Tesla’s KNOWN defective windshield to check your account statements for errors like this. (fyi Tesla refused to replace my defective windshield even though obviously it was delivered to me defective on day 1.)

here’s a snippet showing 3 of the MAX TOLLs they are slamming me with every week:

The windshield is not defective, there is no requirement for ezpass tags to be read through the windshield. It is well known with multiple threads about this. This is why ezpass offers a front plate mounted tag. They’ve offered it for years because there are a whole list of cars that the tags can’t be read through the window on.

EZpass has a solution, as I mentioned, the exterior tag. Its nothing Tesla specific, in fact there are like 100 different cars that need to use it.

EZpass has a list of some of them here

Yea….just send ezpass a message, I’ve been doing it for the misreads I get on the gwb….I get charged regular rate but always ask for the credit for my green pass and i get it. Pita,but at least they honor. For those type of tolls that have entrance and exit is hard ,nys thruway I try to just take my ezpass out on those,but I haven’t been charged the full toll rate even on misreads on entry/exits. Maybe since I have a nysthruway green ezpass. And for nj turnpike I have a nj green pass. Both registered with my plate.

I had a misread on the tapp the other day. Will check my statements

Just as an fyi. Whitestone,throggs,triboro/rfk,verraz,Henry Hudson,crossbay require a NYS issued ezpass to get the discounted rates.

Yes we all hate EZpass!! Lol
