I enjoyed the video and I enjoy hearing you on the Wheel Bearings podcast. Thanks for the entertainment!

Great video! Appreciate the visit in 916.

correction: the cable length will be fixed in their new generation (v4) of superchargers tesla charging cables being short makes me think of the rumored caveat to apple's usb c compliance [ie. only allowing high speed data transfers on approved usb c cables]. just compliant enough to reap the benefits, but not compliant enough to actually be consumer friendly

@waynelewis9110 Год назад

Might want to look more into the company’s charging plans instead of making damning claims like this. Tesla’s V4 charging stalls will have longer cables. The first one has been installed in the Netherlands, and they will begin installing them in North American markets soon. V4 stalls will be able to accommodate all EVs, even the ones that have absolutely ridiculous charging port locations.

@@waynelewis9110 I don't follow Tesla news much so I wasn't aware they were planning to release a new generation of superchargers. I (wrongfully) assumed this was as far as they were going to go in terms of allowing other cars to access the network

@virtual-viking 10 месяцев назад

The CCS spec is for 500A, so when a Tesla can charge at 250kW, it's 25% above the 200kW implied maximum of 400V. A longer cable might complicate things even further.

@hiddendrifts 10 месяцев назад

@@virtual-viking i don't think the cable length will be increasing enough to cause the complications you're thinking of... maybe if it were increased by miles or kilometers, but definitely not by feet

@McFred1065 10 месяцев назад

@@virtual-viking How are you doing "the math" in this case to convert the CCS 500A spec to the 400V? (200kV-A / 400V) ? If so, why would u think a larger cable, say by 10-15 feet, would impact the power received by the car battery? Probably there's got to be a self adjustment, either by the charger or the "smart" battery would know better or am I overestimating the "smartness" of either?

@Clark-Mills Год назад

Gently Bently... Tesla would be foolish to open all stations instantly to non-Teslas - chaos. In cities, non-Teslas can find a charge point; in the sticks... not so much. As bugs are ironed out Tesla will no doubt open things up, gradually. It makes sense - it's another revenue stream for Tesla. And as we all know, the next generation chargers now being deployed have a much longer cable.

@autosmotosonmacheene3198 Год назад

Tesla is smart to do this become shell to much headache to deal with car repairs just make stations

@dand8163 4 месяца назад

@HZACHARY2004 10 месяцев назад

Interesting. But what was the app that was on your phone?

@arminkaiser8933 Месяц назад

Tesla App

@McFred1065 10 месяцев назад

Can you update this pls... u should have started with "there are only 6 available supercharging stations which support this"...In my case (Sept 2023), the app immediately shows "CHARGE YOUR NON TESLA" in the main menu, but I have just started trying and every Tesla supercharging station that shows on the Tesla app says "8-9 KwH max"... so like WTF??? Now I wonder if this is accurate or not... another thing is if this CCS adapters are indeed available in many other stations, but the Tesla app just won't show them... Any useful info, deeply appreciated in advance.

@techyj2417 Год назад

Whats the name of the app?

@shehbazinator Год назад

Cool video! I’m just curious as I have a model Y and wondering if we ever got a BMW IX can I use an adapter with a Tesla wall charger at home?

@virtual-viking 10 месяцев назад

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can even buy said adapter from Tesla's own web store.

@youtubuzr 7 месяцев назад

Yep. You can already use a Tesla home L2 charger for any EV. (All you need is an adaptor.)

UPDATE - Clearly Tesla is getting ready for non-Tesla charging. The map shown at 3:36 is outdated - they've added an option "Supercharges open on NACS" with I think means, if you bring your own NACS adapter, you can use the charger ~ correct?

@VietLe-USA 9 дней назад

Can you buy that big adapter and plug it into the regular Tesla charger? That way you're not restricted to only the chargers with the adapter. I'm contemplating the I7 but am a bit hesitant about the availability of compatible chargers on the interstate highways

@user-be5is7pd6t Год назад

Roberto, did you change the voltage setting in the menu prior to charging at the Tesla station? I went to this Placerville charging site to try it out for my i4. The adapter worked and fit but the charge wouldn’t start. I’m set on 32V at home for my home charging station. The Tesla app was ready to go with a created account and loaded credit card on the site.

@hipking23 Год назад

That's what Telsa should do, open up the charging Network to all EVs. however they should charge non Tesla vehicles more and they will make a profit off of it as well.

@thibaultmol Год назад

Why should they charge non Tesla drivers more? What's the logic there. When you buy a Tesla, you buy the car.

@hipking23 Год назад

@jamesrose1191 Год назад

They can and should charge nonTesla more because at the beginning of the supercharger startup Elon asked all the other automotive companies to chip in to pay for their implementation. GM said they are not in the electric business others said similar.. Those companies screwed you not Tesla. Tesla chargers about the same as other chargers and charges less to Tesla customers.

@ColateralClay 10 месяцев назад

How do you know it’s a universal Tesla charger

@Jiriki999 Год назад

Like I've always said, Tesla is going to be making it's money from charging. Make sure there are lots of ev's out there and have them charge at your stations. Voila, easy money.

@kevinandabbie 8 месяцев назад

It amazes me the inability of CCS drivers to follow instructions. Push up to remove is not that complicated. Maybe this is why CCS stations are always broken.

@reviewed3498 2 месяца назад

Only 8 nationwide?

@jamesrose1191 Год назад

Tesla didn’t open them so Tesla customers can charge vs a non Tesla tying up two spots because their ports can’t get to the Tesla cable.

@RuTube981 Год назад

It's just really sad that the Electrify America charging station was WORSE for the car built to use it whereas the one built exclusively for teslas worked more seamlessly and got you more KW/hr. I'm sorry. 8Kw/hr? that's just pathetic. Step up your game EA.

@McFred1065 10 месяцев назад

I have used Electrify, though I tried to stick to EVgo (Im in the east cost) with my Bimmer... So, 8Kw/hour was not accurate in general (probably that specific charger had a problem and creates more "drama" for this video )... anyway, the Tesla supercharging stations are more conveniently located and that's why I am researching how to do it. I don't even have the Tesla app yet installed on my iPhone, but I am gonna give it a try. Still, sometimes even to get juice for 15-20 mins feels to me so unconvenient... but I rush to buy this SUV.

@krehbein 10 месяцев назад

The EA stations by me range from 150kw-350kw.

@hbnhacthinhphongpiano5217 Год назад

BMW can change at the Tesla Supercharger ..?

@McFred1065 10 месяцев назад

That's the whole purpose of this video. Just make sure u have the Tesla app installed, u have set ur credit card to charge, etc, etc... and when u are ready u MUST indicate in the app to get the CCS adapter out when u take the "nozzle" off the supercharging port. I have not tried in my BMW and that's why I am just watching it Today. The location of many other stations is pretty inconvenient.

Just consider the heavy duty maintenance the companies (including Tesla) need to give to each charging dock. They seem sturdy but without being vandalized, they have a lot of issues (and the blame starts... "it's not the charging - must be your car... " and on and on and on...
