Tesla DRAINING TOO FAST? Battery life TIPS n TRICKS! | Gruber Motors

In this video, we offer advice on how to take care of the main battery in your Electric Vehicle.
The battery extending tips and tricks, apply to not only Tesla vehicles featured in this video, but any EV currently being produced.
A clear departure from the traditional lead acid wet cells so prevalent for the last 150 years, the new higher energy density Li-Ion cells are much more powerful, cleaner, and lower on maintenance. We explore the care and keeping of this revolutionary new technology, instrumental and vital to the success of the ongoing transportation revolution.

I charge my Tesla 80% every weekday at a SuperCharger, 100% every Saturday. I don't care what others say, that's what I do. So far so good.

[@Nodes805]

This gentlemen explained the usage of Tesla batteries so well I had to watch it twice

[@benjaminshiao1581]

best video on tesla batteries

[@garyplewa9277]

Great content. One word of advice. Some folks watch these videos with headphones so the sudden blast of high volume music at the end is more than just startling.

[@georgepelton5645]

That was so funny with the EV skeptic popping up everywhere. Good advice on charging. It would be good to add tips for appartment dwellers on how to get L2 charging at home, work, or other places.

[@snoflite5234]

I really like the Uncle Chet video clips on what not to do, lol.

[@Mehrune]

Fantastic good info thx so Much from Denmark 😊

[@AW66888]

I've seen data that charging exclusively by supercharging is not hugely detrimental vs slow level 1/2 charging. The two biggest factors affecting battery is age and temp (worst is heat). So don't sweat it if you only supercharge because you don't have a home charger. The vast data tells us it's ok.

[@educated_guess]

I believe this is true as well. I fast charge (no superchargers in Hawaii) every time I charge my M3 and have not experienced any issues. if Tesla thought it was so detrimental to the battery to fast charge, why do they keep experimenting with different ways to make charging even faster?

[@benjaminelectric8899]

What is about LFP battery in Model 3 ? Tesla recomends to Charge always to 100 % ? What is about high tempartures an charging to 100 % SOC with LFP Battery? Thank you / viele Grüße aus Deutschland

[@solarstacks]

It is good to mention the Nissan LEAF has no Battery Thermal Management. Their batteries lose capacity the fastest. The Tesla and chevy Bolt batteries hold up the best. They are some of the few that cool even when off and not plugged it. That is important. Tesla is the only battery that pre conditions on the way to a Super Charger if you use their nav to get there.

[@johnreese3762]

Very good points/video, thanks!

[@vico566]

Nice intro!!!

[@dangr3957]

Great video as always! My concerns is with home charging is that where I live there is no night tariff and now it’s 30p so it’s like 40 cent/kW which its insane. My MS is free supercharging and I live close to a supercharger. I think 20% to 50 or 60% sessions without preconditioning won’t do that much harm because the heat is the problem, so if you charge it quickly preferably not from low state of charge, you put less stress on the battery. I think the best if you have solar and you charge it during the day on a slow charger.

[@PhoenixWoody]

What about super charging to 80 percent?

[@oj9886]

Tesla itself says supercharger can be used frequently

[@ghrast]

What about the lfp batteries in the model 3? bad to charge to full?

[@sim73505]

LFP don't need to stay at 80% or do you recommend as well ?

[@royrice6656]

If you own a EV and have to take it in, when the mechanic says “ oh, it’s just the battery” suddenly that phrase takes on a whole new meaning! 😳😳😩😩

[@zulqarnainnaseer1269]

Besides Teslas have very loud cabins. Road and air noise is very high.

[@dathyr1]

LOL!!!!! Louder than someone with a noisy hot "souped up" Street Vehicle that you can hear coming from 2 miles away. Ridiculous comment. I can handle the Road and Air noise anytime.

[@cetGT3]

So Supercharging is bad but how about rapid 50kw chargers, i understand that best charging practice is 80% at 7-11kw

[@deplorablechump8758]

I charge my 2023 MY 80% and don’t recharge it until the battery drops to 30%. Is it a good practice?

[@jttejeda9458]

Use super charge properly ? How ?

[@blackdatto]

Why always the sunnies?

[@edd3055]

The same problems you have on a cell phone, brought to you to the commodity of your car

[@JifferRiffic]

Here is the ultimate truth, just drive and charge however you want, sell before 8 years or 120k miles. You'll all be fine.

[@johnflowers4092]

what do you do when you run out of gas middle of nowhere? 🤷‍♂

[@Dascorpion_Belleza]

Gas? 😂😂😂😂

[@oj9886]

So basically the car runs out life not the other way round

[@chompeyboy]

I get it, in other words, don't buy an EV.

[@Wolf-gu5rr]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 in a few words don’t drive your Tesla

[@dondamon443]

Here's a free tip...don't buy a electric car. It is still in it's infancy development. Batteries have been know to explode. The most common problem, batteries don't last as long as they should, and last, they have limited range. STAY FOSSIL FUEL cars and trucks. Reliable and easy to fix.

[@blairbrewster9952]

go back to your horse and cart. WTFU.

[@Buggabones]

Nope its in full blown production. Gas is known to explode. Very flammable. You are making the exact same arguments old people made when cell phones came out.

[@truepersona6804]

The battery pack of an EV is so heavy that it's equal to the weight of six adults that's before the real passengers sit in. The US government will "surprisingly" announce later the repair cost of roads and bridges have tripled because of the impact the millions of EVs have had on the infrastructure not to mention ecological disaster that is involved in making and dumping the EV batteries. FUN FACT: If we take curb weight to be 25% extra for Telsa Model S compared to Toyota Camry thats 550 kilograms or 1200 lb which is the weight of SIX Americans on diet 🤣🤣🤣

[@dangr3957]

BS

[@rui569]

Dumb

[@ghrast]

lets not forget the 18 wheelers...... most Big suv's weigh more than a tesla model 3

[@blairbrewster9952]

troll, copy and paste from at least 3 other forums.

[@TechnicalLee]

Bullshit, semi trucks are way harder on roads than any EV. A F150 pickup weighs more than a lot EV's and I see those everywhere.

[@VenkatNalluri]

I am Tesla model Y owner; and I am strongly recommend don’t buy any TESLA, as the battery sucks you in 6 months no matter what. I am very frustrated with TESLA

[@NickWindham]

I bought a MYLR and have been really happy with it. My range advice? Charge to 100% & discharge to 0%. Accelerate like you stole it. Use supercharging frequently. Basically, use and abuse the battery relentlessly to ensure it either fails or degrades below 70% capacity well before the 8 year 120K mile battery warranty ends. Then while other owners are babying their old battery, you’ll get a newly refurbished battery free of charge. The worst thing to do is to go middle of the road regarding how much your baby the battery. That’s no man’s land because the battery is likely to fail or degrade below 70% not to long after the 8 years or 120K miles warranty, which is why they chose those numbers.
