Is The Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Worth Your Money?

[@avidviewer1]

Thanks, Steve. Very interesting indeed. BTW I really like your structured and clear intros - we know what we're getting, and then we get it. Very professional. Hope you have a nice Christmas and all the best for 2024! 🤗PS Please don't book too many arguments with your wife (I've never forgotten that terrific episode) 🤣😂🤣

[@SteveJulien]

Awesome, thank you! Have a great Christmas too! Sometimes, I don’t even know they are booked 😂

I like the video. The ability to dial-in the off peak charging shouldn’t require a new charger….that should simply be a matter of software…..weird.

[@craigbutler6243]

Just found your channel Steve, great content, mate. You should be able to set your home battery not to charge your EV.

Watched the whole video to realise I already have the Gen 3, good overview though, thanks

[@alexwipe]

For me I’m in a half half situation. The cable on the gen 3 would be far too long for me but I like all the other features that the gen 3 gives.

Nice video Steve, any videos planned in the e tron? I have an e golf & looking for something with better range also. On the Zappi it is now integrated to intelligent octopus giving even cheaper charging overnight for 6 hrs which works really well.

[@SteveJulien]

Thanks! Lots to come with the e Tron. miss the e Golf but loving the extra range.

The Tesla does not allow me to set a charge window either with a dumb 3-pin connector. Am I being dumb or this genuinely not possible?

[@SteveJulien]

You can set a start time under the ‘charging tab’ in the car or on your phone. Third party apps like Ev.energy allow you to set a charging window.

[@skataskatata9236]

you should add a Chargehanger

Great review.

[@SteveJulien]

Thanks!

Morning steve. thank you for this vidoe i am currently getting quote for cahill for a 7kwh pv systems and PW3 its nice to hear good things about them. i have the old hypervolt V2 charger and im concerned that it will dump all the PW3 into my tesla! do you know if the gen 3 wall charger has ability to protect the battery?

[@rxonmymind8362]

It's obviously waterproof if you have it outside correct?

Software is one of the reasons to go Tesla. Our family owns 5 Teslas since 2013 some are driven over 360.000 km. We are only 4 in our household but I love all our Teslas so much so we haven’t sold one yet. Still using our old gen 1 Tesla chargers as we set the charging time in the car our in a third party app. The Model Y late 2023 Berlin build is by far the best even if our old once still work great. Good luck to you with you new Y. We did buy one Volkswagen E some years ago but software was shit and as far as I know still is.

Should I still get a zappi charger even though I have a Tesla ? I’ve recently joined Octopus

[@RichO-00]

Hi Steve, do you have a Tesla referral link.? Looking to get a Model Y soon and looking to support your channel as I enjoy your videos..

[@RichO-00]

Apologies.. Just seen in.. :o)

[@SteveJulien]

Thanks! You’ll love the car! More to come with mine soon.

[@dathyr1]

Thanks for the info, but my 220 volt outlet in my garage with the basic Tesla mobile cable kit is just fine for me. I charge up only at home and do only short trips. And do charging during off peak hours for lower costs. Works for me, I don't need anything fancier. Take care.

[@SteveJulien]

Great point!

[@RichardBrooklyn]

My man, swap to intelligent go. You get an extra hour of cheap rate which is slightly cheaper (7.5p), and octopus will give you extra hours to charge the car if needed to get your charge target. If you use home assistant, you can also detect if you are on the extra hours and maybe program your battery to not discharge into the car. That's my setup. Very useful.

How could anyone in their right mind financially support Elon Muzk?

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

Why not? The cars are good, the guy is funny.

[@pug-man6861]

He loves free speech, loves America and hates anything woke ! What’s not to like 😂😂😂

[@XxBloggs]

Musk is an anti democratic fascist

[@Pythonzzz]

I wish he wasn’t benefiting, but the company is still the farther ahead on tech and overall experience when it comes to EVs. And it’s still better to own an EV than to put money in the oil execs’ pockets. Tesla is so much bigger than Elon at this point. Hopefully they’ll move on from him as the CEO some day soon.
