Tesla reveals 4 BIG supercharger changes

Some Superchargers have been open for anyone in the UK for ages and for non-Tesla owners they are cheaper than pretty much any other provider.

[@henryaustin8870]

Tesla needs to also start putting in pull thru stalls at least one on each end that would accommodate TRAILERS. With a charge stand on either side. I see a lot of Model Y owners towing trailers in my area, and that is guaranteed to increase with electric pickups now on the market.

[@civwar64bob77]

Absolutely. I was on a road trip last month and a Tesla with a trailer was blocking 3 chargers since there was no pull thru. Luckily there were a couple of free spots when I got there.

[@ConstanceCox]

[@SkepticalCaveman]

That extra income goes back to investing in new superchargers, so everyone wins.

[@Pingstein11]

Sam your take on "luxury" is spot on.

[@nathanbrumbaugh8545]

Thanks for the update. First of all I appreciate the work You do . second of all front middle charging parts are the best location ever in my opinion and I pull trailers so that may be why the difference if you look at it from vehicle only perspective then front middle May not be any better than front right hand side but if you have it in the middle you could use a cable that’s fairly short on either side of your parking location. This just gives you more versatility. Makes it very easy to see exactly how close you are to the cable Also is in the easiest spot. I understand your thoughts on having everything the same, but I strongly lean towards having it in the middle of the front.

[@RuffyUzumakii7]

ask the people that have to deal with norwegian winters or the thai or spanish hot summer mosquitos. Middle front is not the best. When I drive with my white Tesla from Switzerland to Portugal (2000km) I then have a black front, since all mosquitos of all the world are there. I don't want to touch that every time I want to charge. Also Björn Nyland has shown, that Kias and others that had the charge port in the front, had problems opening it, because it was to snowy, icy. Even if it's heated, it stays there after having driven for hours in -10 degrees. Do you want to touch that?

[@randycarter2001]

Yes, the SAE screwed up in the J1772 standards. They didn't restrict the location of the charge ports. This is already causing problems I won't go into now. In a gas car the fueling port had to be where there's a gravity feed to the tank. Electricity can go uphill and around corners so there's no limit. News flash: you can put more than one on a car through a simple interlock.

[@buzzboykin9982]

Or, instead of urging simply, "if your port location is incompatible with our network, you will not get a charge".

[@SamKhoury]

Alex on Autos made a great point why it's better to put the charging port on the passenger's (right) side in the US instead of the driver's (left) side. When we finally have EV chargers installed on streets then it's better to have the port on the curb side which will be the passenger's (right) side. If you have the charging cable sticking out of the driver's side, then it might get knocked off by a passing car.

[@jimmanley2796]

EV Superchargers on streets won’t happen in large numbers because of the cost and complexity of installing the large back-side power conversion/control boxes that have to be accessible for large power conductor routing via the shortest distance (especially DC fast charging) and firefighting. Plus, there are significant real estate and paving costs involved in installation, with street parking real estate being some of the highest cost anywhere. Putting chargers in the lowest-cost locations is extremely important for widespread adoption, especially as EV prices (and profits) decline.

[@enzoh7763]

On driver side , cyclists more than motorists will hit it . On passenger side , Walkers , drunks and bum's are likely to hit it New Solutions are needed .

[@markcollins457]

I would be a good move for Tesla to extend the length of the charge cable and help reduce congestion at the stations.

[@thomassimmer5186]

Not sure we'll ever standardize the location of the charging plug. If we end up with a lot of street-side charging, it would presumably be different in countries based on the side of the car facing the curb.

I was at the supercharger in Jackson, Ca a while ago, and 3 superchargers were iced by pickups on purpose because the locals hate Tesla. They were there for the whole time I charged ( 45 min) they tried to fake charging by putting the naps into their pickup rack holes, I think we need some solution for this.

[@MyrKnof]

People that drive models that block stalls should pay double. I absolutely hate it, and give them mad stink eye every time I see them.

[@jimmanley2796]

Report them to the police to be towed - it’s illegal to block EV chargers, especially with ICE vehicles (aka “ICE-ing”).

[@richardereed9205]

If one goes into a gas station virtually all pumps are drive through. Cars put their fill spouts in different locations, but every pump is available depending on which way someone enters the pump lane. Why haven't we changed over to this modality with EV charging stations?

[@leftyduffer]

Good stuff, thanks.

[@andybak7575]

Charge port location, front right is good for curb side charging and towing. back left is great for garage charging since the driver exits near there.

[@peterjones6322]

Depends if you have a RHD or LHD vehicle.

[@ariip]

Street charging reason is just an excuse. Putting longer cables on dc fast is more of an issue because of the power levels. Street charging is level 1 or 2 ac so long cables is much easier and most street charging already has longer cables anyway so it is not an issue if the port is on the other side. Like you said, front right makes more sense and solves the plug exposed to traffic issue. Fuel ports ARE mostly on the rear left for a reason, driver access and visibility for safety and convenience. If it was on the right the cars would have to pull in the other way or the hose would be exposed to impact in the station.

[@hanswitvliet8188]

After hundreds of years, even ice cars have different sides for filling …

[@lyfandeth]

And not very long ago, many had the fill cap behind the rear license plate or above it, so the fill was always in the middle of the rear. I think the Ford Pinto fires ended that?

[@davidallen2058]

Once charging speed improvements are included in new models and at charging stations the charging experience will be similar to the wait at a busy petrol station.

[@st-ex8506]

Except that I was stopping around 70 times per year at a petrol station with my previous (ICE) car, and now only 10-12 times a year at a supercharger with my Tesla! Actually, I spend LESS time per year charging, than I spent filling up before! Another myth killed!

[@kenfenske5002]

I don't see most people paying to subscribe for cheaper supercharging. Super charging is rare for most people so it's not worth it for occasional. Tesla positioned their car charge ports on the driver's rear corner so they are easy for the driver to get to and so a short cable is needed for superchargers. Most other EVs have a different spot so it means they have to park across two spots to plug in. Problem is that a longer supercharger cable will lay on the ground so it's easier to be damaged. The adaptors should have long enough cables for the particular car's charge port location and Tesla should require other manufacturers to position the charge port in a compatible location as they install NACS port on the cars.

[@contra_plano]

Tesla received indeed some subsidies to build their charging network... to the tune of less than 10% of the total they invested.... basically irrelevant. And who actually paid for this second-to-none network? Those who bought Tesla cars! So, no! Non-Tesla owners must pay for they fair usage of the network!

[@waveney42]

I own a Renault Zoe. It has the charge port at the front. It is wonderful, my charger is attached to the front of my house, I pull up and plug it in. I would HATE to have a rear left charge port, the cable would have to be far longer to reach the car and it would get in the way of people walking up to the house. By the way I NEVER back into places unless there is no alternative, I hate reversing, I do not have stereoscopic vision, I never have. This one of the very few things Tesla have ever got wrong.

[@EPeltzer]

Yep. Front center port. Backing into parking is slow and difficult. Backing out into empty space is much easier. Moreover, If you place the CHARGER in front center of a parking space, it's cord could reach cars with ports basically anywhere, while having a still relatively short cord. Also no confusion about which charger goes to which parking space. In many cases, you could change existing stations to center position chargers by just repainting the stall lines.

[@st-ex8506]

For several technical and practical reasons, a charge port in the front is a bad idea. Having also a deficient stereoscopic vision (but never troubled me to reverse...), I sympathise with your predicament... but the chances of the standard for the location of the charging port being the front of the vehicle is precisely nil!

[@dondomingo6578]

Id rather back into a parking spot than back out into a busy lane, road etc. Its safer

I think Tesla has done a lot of things right... but the charge plug location is not one of them. In the US, whether they are near the front or back, they should be on the right/passenger side. We drive on the right, park on the right. When it's common for EV chargers to be integrated into street lighting, it will make it super easy to simply plug in right next to the sidewalk. I think a wise location for non-Teslas is the front right fender area. It'll be reachable from the sidewalk AND people can charge nose-first in Tesla stalls.

Tesla should be prohibited by law from charging a different rate for different vehicles. If that's not the case in some regions it should be. The EU already has a requirement that all public chargers, including Tesla's should offer non-discriminatory pricing. And no BS like a "subscription" that happens to come with being a Tesla car or whatever. And for that matter, no requirement to use some app either - chargers should have a tap to pay system and a screen to control charging. Simply put it should be as simple to charge a car as it is to fill it with petrol.

[@connclissmann6514]

You will never get manufacturers to agree on charging socket location. LHD vs RHD was a thing in ICE cars. No reason to think this will get fixed. Tesla ownership does not guarantee access to a Tesla Supercharger. For instance Dublin, the capital of Ireland with over 1.2mn population has four stalls in one location ... and that's it!

[@jonathanblum2994]

I believe Federal law requires all brands and models of ICE cars to have the gas port in the same location. It is a no brainer. Same as universal chargers for cell phones.

[@jimmanley2796]

Wrong. The only requirement is that an indicator triangle be provided on the fuel gauge that shows which side the filler port is located (which most drivers don’t know about). Requiring all vehicles to have the port on one side would result in long lines for pumps on that side because most people don’t know how to park so that the hose will reach a far side port without rubbing on the paint finish. This is especially true where hoses are shorter and don’t have slack removal reels built in as a cost-saving measure. Some stations only allow driving up to pumps in one direction for traffic control and accident reduction (e.g., Costco, Sam’s Club, etc.), further degrading ease of use of pumps from either side.

[@gerbenkarman3372]

In the Netherlands BP just announced that it wants to sell all of its 310 gas stations and it’s 25 charge hubs as ‘ It doesn’t see any growth potential anymore’. In the announcement BP also claims that the decision is also taken because of the issues on the capacity of the electricity grid. In reality they are already so far behind players like Tesla’ s super chargers and Fastned that they can’t compete anymore with their 25 charging hubs For context an ING study shows that it expects that the number of gas stations in the coming years will fall from the current 4000 to 2000. And there are currently 152.000 public chargers in the Netherlands out of which 5000 are fast chargers

I don't think it can be free indefinitely but I do think it's a great incentive for local authorities who need and want to encourage rapid adoption of EVs of any format. Build solar over your car park, provide charging spots for bikes, cars, vans and mopeds, give the power away for a few years and it's a public benefit to pollution which will reduce lung disease quite rapidly and reduce costs. But yeah, not sustainable for businesses to do unless someone is subsidising it. I could see there being people campaigning for either or both, but those looking to reduce pollution faster would be 100% correct.

EV charging infrastructure installation is a several hundred thousand to multi-million dollar up-front cost … PER SITE. All standalone fuel stations make far more profit from “inconvenience” store sales than from fuel.

Costco, Sam’s Club, etc., break even on fuel sales as a marketing advantage and make all of their profits from their store sales.

I do wonder how much public/taxpayer money Tesla have taken for their supercharger network.

@ To infer that Tesla hasn’t taken any money from either the US Government (Inflation Reduction Act) or the UK Government (Rapid Charging Fund) would be inaccurate to say the least. I’m sure that superchargers were initially built from Tesla’s own funds initially, but if there’s public money available, Musk will grab it and I’m sure it’s played a part in Tesla opening up the network to non-Tesla’s. Mr Musk is not that philanthropic.

[@juliahello6673]

In the US, no money was given until the IRA, which I don’t think has been distributed to Tesla yet. Not that facts probably matter, though.

[@jimmanley2796]

Very little funding has been provided for Tesla Superchargers, and since states determine which companies receive it, the Dumbocrap-run states/counties/municipalities have refused to provide funding to Tesla for purely political/ideological purposes. Lawsuits, that needlessly increase costs to taxpayers, most of whom can’t afford EVs, and severely delay infrastructure roll-out, have all been won by Tesla. They are yet-another reason for the recent U.S. election results, and there are many more in court dockets around the U.S., awaiting adjudication.

[@northyorkshirechris5735]

@ I thought the UK was messed up, but the US really does excel in this. Here in the UK, I understand that the UK Government (both red and blue) have been providing money to providers to the tune of £m’s (I’m fairly certain the fund is around £200m). Musk is a businessman and would certainly not baulk at the idea of ‘free money’ from taxpayers. So whilst there may be problems in the US, the same problems don’t exist in the UK. Where Musk is concerned, there are no ‘pork-barrel politics’.

Viking, your vids are 50% OK, 50% disinformation. Merc did fine on the nonstop trip. BMW did not, because it slows down charging speed if you charge too much in 24h. Please no half-sentences with dubious infos about this car is good or bad...

Not true come on man, he reports the news and only ten percent at most false but not his fault

Today I noticed an onslaught of youtube videos trashing EVs. To me, it means the fossil fuel minions and those who have skin in the ICE game are panicking.

I was very excited to be able to use thier chargers but now that elon musk is trying to be a part of my government. I now spend extra time avoiding them. Wish he would run his companies get out of my government.

If we don’t address the $35 trillion deficit, we are doomed.

@ giving billionaires tax cuts doesn’t fix it, so try again.

@ BTW its not a deficit its debt, t rump loves spending everyone else’s money, not paying his bills.

Once again, you concentrate on playing fancy marketing videos from other sources, usually manufacturers, while getting basic facts in your narrative completely wrong. Tesla V4 Superchargers provide up to 500 KW for vehicles capable of receiving that much, and up to 1.2 MEGAWATTS to Tesla Semis and other large-powertrain EVs (including Cybertrucks soon, if not already) capable of receiving more than 500 KW. You said 1.2 KILOWATTS for the latter. If you can’t get basic facts like that correct, just stop producing videos altogether.

Wow, that's a very rough admonishment for a simple mis-speak. I think if you are so incensed by Sam and his channel, you can watch others, instead of negatively bashing this one.

[@skylershank9309]

30% more for non-Tesla vehicles. What a deal. By the way, statistically, not everyone will be driving EVs. You're delusional.

[@st-ex8506]

Well... before 2035... possibly a few years earlier, the last ICE vehicle will come out of an assembly line... probably an American one. By 2040, finding a gas pump will become a challenge... and all of them will be gone by 2045, and the last ICE car drivers will look like Amish in their horse buggies!

[@skylershank9309]

@st-ex8506 you can't force people to buy what they don't want. Unless we use nuclear energy, the power just isn't there for your utopian EV-only world.

@@jimmanley2796 Sure there are! But last time I drove through the US of A, I didn't see too many of them on the roads... except in Lancaster Co! A little piece of personal experience: The Colorado High School I went to as a foreign exchange student almost 50 years ago still had stables for the few students riding to school! But I visited the school during a visit to my American family some 15 years later, and the stables were gone... a pity! In my country (Switzerland), there are even competitions for horse-drawn carriages. But it has obviously become a hobby, not a mode of transportation anymore. The same will happen to ICE cars... Their collecting and restauration... and occasional Sunday parades, will be a popular hobby! The collectors will buy gasoline in 55 gal drums from the one or two refineries in the world still producing it...

Are you going to do a video on the demise of Jaguar . . . Perhaps I've missed it . . . Given they are committed to fully EV I can't get it out of my mind that ALL EV owners look like those in the ad. Is this really the future?
