You hopefully have a place to slow charge, L1 or L2- if you fast charge all the time on an L3 charger, that is going to shorten the number of years of the battery's service life.

​@@constantbuzzIf you charge at 72 kw Tesla supercharger that shouldn't affect your battery life at all. It's those V3 supercharger that will ruin your battery longevity

Even FSO Polonez and Polski Fiat is better than Tesla.

@@pentti3715 ok and it may be it's your opinion

@@pentti3715 Yet you’re here watching a Tesla video…Had an Etron S Sportback last year, issues with virtual mirrors, Apple CarPlay not showing, MMI in general… Had my Shanghai built Model 3 since September 2021, no issues whatsoever

@@WiZe1972 ok, but I like to drive cars and not let cars drive me.

I think tesla in a year or two will drop their charging port for CCS in the USA and do what they do in Europe now. I do wish the tesla port became standard since it isn't bulky and uses the same connector for any type of charging but it looks like CCS will probably be the winner

CCS sucks Tesla adapter is so much better it's smaller lighter and better. It's becoming standard over here in North America

Must be nice I have late 2021 Model Y and I don’t have hardware for CCS charging.

@@techyjames1945 - that odd, my 2021 MYLR was delivered in February 2021, and it has the option and I use it. I thought all models since October 2020 had the update.

I also picked up my Model Y in February 2021 and it is CCS adaptor compatible according to the Tesla Shop website

@@jasonhodgson2528 - it’s nice to have but I seldom use it as CCS stations are just not reliable enough to count on for a road trip. I do use ones in my region that I know typically work due to their prices, but I always ensure there is a supercharger nearby.

You'll save money on rent.

Congrats hope you enjoy it

Welcome back!

Took delivery of a new 2021 Model 3 Performance on 11/05/2021, and no CCS charging support. Sucks, because there is no Tesla Supercharger in Pensacola, FL, only an Electrify America station.

@@demariushenderson1802 request a charger through teslas new site to request a charger location

Every thing's newer, bigger and therefore cheaper in the U.S.; just wait and see what Ukraine looks like in 20 years.

Yea but you have CCS2 in Europe which is better than CCS1.

@@TheRealMartin did not even know there is a CCS1... learned something today 👍

Me too. EVGo needs to reach out big time, to let Tesla owners know.

They basically round up a bunch of 50kW CHADEMO adaptors and put them inside the unit.

@@honesty_-no9he That doesn't make any sense.

Congrats!

That's a good thing, since the CCS1 with the hook keeps mis-connecting.

Hi Kim Yay 🎉 That Worked Thank You Thank You ❤

You’re The Best !!!!!🎉

I think so. The auto charge feature and also the ability to reserve chargers sets them apart. They seem more catered to tesla owners which we obviously like.

@@ItsKimJava 🙏

Specific to DC fast charging (and excluding Tesla) Electrify America is the largest. EvGo is 2nd, followed by ChargePoint.

@@AugustBanks Thanks August for the straight-up... 💪 I dont want to be signing up for all these damn subscriptions just to find out it won't serve my needs 🙏

@@AugustBanks NOW the big question is how many of these undesirable (to me) alternatives have "working" non-nightmare apps and chargers to slog through ⁉

Test it before you need it.

were can I get this adapter

@@martydavis9777 Tesla’s shop website.

Hi it’s not on the website whenever I check

@@michaelfruchter732 it probably doesn't show because for now it only is available for newer vehicles.

wears it faster, yes. Should only be use when needed, long distance travel.

Thanks Jetta! Happy holidays.

I need to try this actually. put my phone on airplane mode and try to unplug it next. Cause I have no idea

I would assume since tesla makes the adapter and has a locking mechanism in the car it would lock but this should definitely be tested

SHHHH they might make it illegal in California if you say that

Here it is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMumm7mVnr6Vp5c.html

@@ItsKimJava thank you Kim

I use EA 150 station close by all the time , haven't seen it go past 128kw but happy to pay 31c at any time with a membership , compared to 50c Tesla charges now , Los Angeles .

@@DeltaScalper As I was watching the video it occurred to me that this should give an incredible boost to Tesla's already long lead demand times for those that can afford a Tesla. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Teslateer but I really look forward to Chinese EV manufacturers making their debut worldwide. The multitudinous smaller cheaper and often basic EV's should frighten the living daylights out of ICE manufacturers everywhere - and that of more than a few EV manufacturers including Tesla. The latest MG4 & 5 EV's are now on sale in EU & UK for around €35000 & £28,485ish respectively. They seem very respectable with a reasonable amount of functionality. Teslas have great levels of functionality but you almost need to don your pith helmet, safari outfit, & dig out your bush machete before venturing forth into the infotainment menu - there's so many levels of info to slash your way through before you're able to rescue the princess from the lions and hyenas.

@@DeltaScalper Dirty power is cheaper.

@@pinkelephants1421 Why would it frighten Tesla? They went there to help the Chinese, knowing it was impossible to fulfill there mission to electrify the world by themselves. They need all the help they can get, and so do we. Fighting stubborn bureaucrats all the way.

@@tedmoss I only meant in the sense that Tesla, although absolutely brilliant, and having succeeded beyond everyone's wildest dreams, are finding themselves stubbornly stuck in the luxury car segment. I assume you, like myself and thousands of others, have closely followed the company's progress over the years, and as such, have seen many comments around the: "we had to save for 3yrs, 4yrs etc to be able to afford a SEXY car"? So, if you extrapolate that out, out of the many, many, buyers, how many of those would have (still) opted for a Tesla given the opportunity to buy a much, much cheaper EV? Quite a lot would not have I think is the probable answer for a fairly high percentage of buyers. TBC: I'm not trying to denigrate Tesla in any way, shape, or form. But I do think that Elon's Californian, Silicon Valley, wealthy mindset's origins really show up in the obsession with fancy bells & whistles, most of which will rarely feature on most people's radar - just as with any other gadgets from washing machines & microwave ovens right through to our digital devices; we choose the everyday basic functions & largely ignore the rest. Most of us couldn't even tell you what the various bells & whistles were, let alone how to use them. That's been true for 40 years going back to when video recorders started to become more sophisticated; I remember mine this way.🤪😅

You can’t right now. You would need to set a Supercharge as your destination and then use your phone to navigate to a non Tesla fast charger.

...good one!

I believe at some stations they’re up to 150 kw

@@ItsKimJava Definitely going to keep that in mind! Thx

The evgo app, PlugShare and on board the tesla itself all should populate chargers within your vicinity. EVgo is expanding and building out now but they’re definitely the most reliable by our experience.

@@ItsKimJava thank you!

I’m in Boston and SW Florida and have seen EVGo in Boston, Quincy, Chestnut Hill, etc. There are only a couple in SW Florida and I’m trying to get one in my city.

Lots of research to prove it either way.

They will off-set with green energy.

It is probably offset somehow but imo that isn't truly green since companies have been caught lying about offsetting their emissions

Not everywhere it's definitely gone up by me but it's still no where near the price of gas. It isn't going to stay cheap forever since more and more people will need to charge they will increase the price to make more people charge only when they need to. Also inflation and energy prices have gone up a lot because we still rely a lot on natural gas to make the energy.

I bet most of their chargers don't have tesla plugs and she happens to live near one of the few in the country that actually do

@@wwecallofduty123 I did find out that supposedly they are replacing their network with the newer stations that have multiple connectors and that could take a long time. But I would like to know how they can claim to use 100% renewable energy. How exactly does that work? Aren't they tied into the local grid of each City? And those 100% renewable.

Not all stations have them- it is a good tool to have just in case, especially if you long distance travel a lot.

I agree and eventually every car will use a standard(probably CCS) so this won't be an issue anymore. Although I do like the tesla connector a lot more than CCS since it isn't bulky and is easier to use.

Yes

Righ?! Same here. $30-$40?

Just wait…

@@aussie2uGA Wait for what?

@@sambira "Electricity prices" continuing to rise. When a larger majority are driving ev's, those stations will continually ask for more. It's too lucrative not to.

@@aussie2uGA You mean like gas and oil? Like that? I'll take the rise in electricity over gas prices. They are much less chaotic.
