2021 Telsa Model 3 How Long to Charge?

[@jasont9499]

The RT 59 Meijer has a v3 Supercharger, but it was pushing home charger speeds (240V/32A), so something odd was definitely going on. When it’s cold out, it’s best to enter the supercharger destination into the nav system, the car will use a bit of electricity to warm up the battery so that it can accept more power during charging. Lithium Ion batteries are not able to charge below 32F. Great car, but just some annoying things like that, new EV drivers need to adapt to for optimal experience. Great videos, love them!

What was the cost of charging?

[@PhilT993]

That is a supercharger and not a destination charger. Did you preheat the battery before you arrived at the supercharger? My 2021 Long Range Model 3, which has a bigger battery to charge, with an outside temp of 14F, with a preconditioned battery, can charge from 20-80% in 30 minutes. Yes, it does slow as the battery gets closer and closer to 100%, but that is not an everyday operating range.

[@Ojisan642]

You have to understand how battery charging works. It charges more quickly when it’s drained and charges exponentially slower when it gets closer to full. That last 20% will take as long as that first 80%. Also the cold impacts battery efficiency, which includes charging.

[@ca9793]

the problem is that tesla does not seem to factor that in when they give you the estimated time remaining. if they will slow down the charging speed as it reaches past 85% level, then they should also change the estimated time left. giving false information like this is somewhat disappointing tbf.

[@user-kb8gh5jv9t]

While true, this does not explain why the time is so ridiculously wrong! The BMC “knows” the charge algorithm and should provide correct time!

[@LeftJoystick]

This is surprising - perhaps something was wrong with that charging station. Interesting haha

[@alsmith358]

Maybe there was something wrong with that charger stall? It said you were only getting 7kW which is crazy low. It should be 150kW at a V2 supercharger and I think the SR+ has a max charge rate of 170kW. Also, a tip for fast charging on road trips is to have more frequent charging stops with the battery percent on the low end because it charges faster. Charging speed really slows down above 80%.

[@TheGrandLineGames]

yeah this guy doesnt know how the car works, thus didnt realize the issue with the charger.

[@eDriver]

My experience is, that in winter, when the battery is cold, it's not that quick charging. I am not driving a Tesla, but a Renault Zoe, which can charge up to 43 kW. Sometimes in winter, when the battery pack is only slightly above 0°C, it might charge only with 6 kW. So it doesn't make sense wait for the charging with a cold battery pack. Better plug and go to sleep. Next morning the battery will be fully loaded, without waiting ;-)

What is the cost just to charge a Tesla model 3

[@pedrofernandez8729]

When I leased the model 3, I did it knowing quite well that I would be renting a car for any trip longer than 200 miles.(I don;t take many trips) Even going from Miami to Orlando, 230 miles, I cannot make it on a charge unless I don't use the a/c and keep it under 70 mph. It would increase my time by 40 mins for charging and I am not willing to do this. Ditto for longer distances. just too much time at charging stations and there is only so much food you can eat while it charges.

[@kens97sto171]

Lots of issues here obviously you are not experienced with Tesla's. Always check what that charger is supposed to be rated at the navigation can tell you that. And look at the other charging screen to find out what you're actually getting out of it you could have had a defective stall, if it truly was a destination charger I think they're limited to 70 KW and the model 3 is capable of up to 250 kilowatts but generally will charge closer in the 150 KW range. That last 20% on any electric car will take usually longer than the first 80% does. If you own this car you would never be charging to 100% all of the time you would want to live with staying between 5% and 80%. Definitely something went wrong here but it does show you that if you absolutely do need 100% charge to get to your next location you could be sitting there for a while. But that's hardly ever the case since most superchargers are close enough to each other on the interstates that you would not need the maximum range.

[@JensDittrich]

That happens when your charge with a very cold battery. In contrast to combustion engine cars, the motors are not affected by cold, it's the battery. Just warm it up before supercharging.

[@ctsfiddler]

Hope they don't put charging stations in rough neighborhoods, I don't want to get mugged while waiting for my car to charge and to top it off i can't go anywhere.

[@rxbyandd]

Well idiot, people in rough neighborhoods probably wouldn’t own a Tesla so why would they put one there? Fool

[@flassi]

7kw/h, if next time comes, change other stall.

[@volxify8093]

Is a FWD car bad ?? My parents got a 2019 Ford Explorer limited and they don’t know if it’s good for snow or rainy days

[@Megatron-sl5us]

Recently about 20% EV owners bought either a new or used gasoline vehicle. Charging your EV vehicle at home takes a very long time to charge. Someday I'll get a EV vehicle, but that's when you can charge under ten minutes or less.

[@mrcharles3061]

could have been a broken stal or you didn't precondition your battery

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

Might want to fix that title lol

[@hemantchoudhary7377]

That would be probably because of cold weather

[@sludog]

34mph at 7kw charging and you thought that was normal supercharging? Even when the battery was at 62% you should have started well over 250mph close to 100kw. I'm guessing you never supercharged a Tesla before considering this is a rental. Why didn't you try a different plug to see if there was a difference instead of wasting all that time.

[@Voxuami]

there is something wrong with that charger man that’s the truth 7 kw/h hell no

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video Jerry, I definitely find the lying charging time interesting. Because of my personal needs, I’m going to be sticking to gas, hybrid, or plug in hybrids for now!😸😸

[@Thepewdiepiebro5]

He only got 7KW, he should get 150KW. All other teslas charge from 0 to 80 in almost 15 minutes. This is something wrong in the video

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Tesla’s are great for short trips 100-150 miles as long as you can charge overnight on 40 amp. 230 v. So boring to sit for hours while the car charges. In cold weather preheat while on electrical line.

[@abdurrehman-ec8mj]

Most annoying part. of Tesla. Charging Time !!!!! Why they not work on this 5 min. Timing !!!!

[@Mr8888X]

Wow that’s disappointing. I‘ve thought Teslas charge fairly quick. This video changed my mind

[@BTC909]

You were charging a Telsa @ a Tesla charging station. That's your problem.

[@nickr3441]

What a pile of shit vehicle. I can't believe people will buy it

[@xhonkeri4066]

Cult following

[@brandon6541]

It's a great car....

[@TheGrandLineGames]

this guy doesnt know how teslas look when theyre even charging properly. 7kW means the charger is not working correctly. Its as if someone sat at a gas pump for 30min and blamed it on the vehicle, when the pump was drip feeding.

[@MICHGO1]

@@xhonkeri4066 THERE'S ANOTHER CULT OF IDIOTS WHO HATE TESLA BUT WASTE THEIR TIME CLICKING ON VIDEOS TO WHINE.
