Hands On: Ford Lauches Tesla Supercharger Access | Here is What You Need To Know! 

Model Y owner here and I agree.

Agreed. The whole reason I chose Tesla was because of dedicated charging infrastructure

The stalls themselves do not share power like V2s, however, they load balance with 3 others on the same charging cabinet. That's the genius of Tesla. Since the max 250kw is only for a short time and at low SoC, for them to be derated, 4 different EVs capable of 250kw would have to plug in at the vary same time and at the very same state of charge with on that same charging cabinet (not the stall/dispenser, but the same cabinet in the background). Making it almost impossible to happen. He was not getting the full charging speed of the Ford because it was at 49% SoC and the Lighting maxes out at 177kw to begin.

I think V3's balance across 4 stations in my experience and go slower depending on how many cars are connected.

@@scoty_does It's much more ingenious than that. Not only does it balance across 4 stalls initially, but it also burrows and balances from the next four, and if larger, from the next four and so on, so that in all it balances across the whole site. So unless the whole site is completely full, and all plugged in at the same time, and all with a low state of charge, you're going to get the full speed that you EV is asking for.

How do I register

Hopefully Aptera! :)

Calm down, they are already going to do that on future EVs starting next year. But the existing EVs still need to charge.

It is expected by both Tesla and Ford that they will take up two spaces when charging. It's the only way they can charge because the cable won't reach any other way. Impacts can be minimized by leaving the rightmost stalls available for Fords.

They have no choice, bro

I caught that too! She is still learning.. hopefully.

@@scoty_does Hopefully, does she also throw the gas pump hose on the ground? It's shameful. There perhaps should be a sensor on the holder. Maybe charge a $20 fine (or more) for not replaced the cord.

Maybe it wouldn’t go back in because she forgot to remove the adapter…

@@bryanvesagas3629 You might be right. Either it was a Magicdock or she forgot to take her adapter off. Not being able to reinsert the plug should have been a hint. No problem, adapters are cheap. Not.

Bad choice of B-roll, I suspect. It looks like they were moving (re-parking), as the car stopped just before the footage ended - probably to reposition to get to the cable. Important detail to note: their adapter was still connected to the cable. They're not gonna leave that behind.

The cables on current V3's cannot be any longer at their current width and still deliver 500 AMP's. They will over heat very easily because amperage is what cause the heat, and 400v chargers can only deliver really fast charging by upping the AMP's. However, on 800v, which uses higher voltage and lower AMP's, the cables can be much longer. On V4 Superchargers with their longer cables, they are also thicker because they still need to deliver high AMP's for 400v EVs including most current Teslas. For V3's to have longer cables, they will all have to be replaced with V4 cables in order to be any longer.

@@Paul-cj1wb Oh I know. That’s why I said I wish it were longer. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have challenges.

It’s possible, so you better stay there until charging is done.

They technically don’t but they load share. Which still divides power among the string of adjacent stalls. That’s why they are numbers 1A, 1B, 1C.

There was a RU-vid Channel which has tested a Rivian and a Chevy - only cars approved by Tesla will work on the chargers.

Tesla drivers own them

nope, tesla does. @@pickelkilla

I drive a Model Y and I think it's great. Welcome to reliable charging!

Tesla supercharging is distinct profit centre. Profit from other brands will find new superchargers. This is thing. When you are focussed on profitability you can afford an open market approach. I wonder if any other manufacturer building out chargers eh Audi, will reciprocate?? Generosity becomes explicit when others don't reciprocate. This is charitable donation from Tesla to the industry ... Still eh....Elon bad huh!!

​@@pickelkillayou got a certificate of ownership?? Which one do you own?? 😂😂😂😂

I believe they legally must provide kW of power sold and cost, albeit it can probable be through the app or vehicle screen

It shows right on the Tesla screen, when searching for chargers, and while charging, displays KWH and total price... good question, if non-Teslas will pay some premium, as they currently do at MagicDock sites... assume so
