WV pushing it off to Electrify America doesn't really count/work, and we see the mediocre outcome as a result.

[@kylemccourt663]

Yup... already seeing Electrify America chargers not working. On my last road trip I went to a station that only had one of 4 operating and 3 people were waiting. Wound up driving 30 mins back to find another while I was already dangerously low. But I would have lost my day off waiting if didn't make a move or went to the local slow Ford charging station. I knew it was going to be problematic with VW funding Electrify America as penance for Dieselgate. I knew once the chargers started breaking, the support wouldn't be there.

It might need some understanding and patience between users for a while to sort out parking positions, but iv always enjoyed a chat with other EV owner’s anyway. Im in Australia and our state government (NSW) is co-funding installations of chargers with Tesla on the basis these superchargers are opened to all EVs. All Teslas here in recent years have CCS charging, ie dont use the proprietary US Tesla plug so no magic adapters needed. Anything that accelerates EV uptake is good.

They could've at least make the cable longer 🙄

@@Superman-xr1oh I get the original rationale, of the short cable was to get Tesla drivers to park in a certain way to reach the cable.... Which avoided having an excessively long cable lay on the ground... From A purely logical teslacentric standpoint it makes sense... Elon is a control freak, minimalist.... He wants an open network, but only on his own terms.... Where every EV produced, needs to be configured the same as a Tesla... So in his mind, Tesla is not responsible, for this issue.... But since government funding is involved... Longer cables should be required... Which often makes him change, the direction of Tesla, while he bitches about government interference.... Just look at the DC fast charging standards used by Tesla in China and in Europe....

​@@rogerstarkey5390 Guess what? I agree Elon IS NOT responsible for accommodating non-Tesla owners, in the USA.... and then the government will not be responsible for reimbursing them.... But Guess what? On your side of the pond.... Tesla was forced to install CCS on its vehicles.... and longer CCS cables on their superchargers.... It's nice to see that Elon can act responsibly somewhere.... And NIO is reported to be offering its much superior battery swapping technology in the UK this year. So congratulations.... So you won't have to waste time reiterating Elon's, myopic point of view. Such as his ludicrously overly optimistic timelines. BTW let's hope we finally see see more of those Tesla semi trucks.

I agree, but I think the non Tesla Manufacturers own the solve, not Tesla.

[@KatAdair]

I don’t want to be inconvenienced while the other companies figure it out and try to push their own solutions. The Tesla plug is small and elegant, and our chargers just work. There are FAR more Teslas on the road than other companies’ EVs, so I think they should adapt to our system if they want to use it.

[@francescoboselli6033]

Here in Europe is more than a year since Tesla started to open the superchargers to other EVs, and I guess that didn't created much problems on the long term, although I'm not a Tesla owner so I can't be sure 😅. Also there is to say that especially in Northern Europe non Tesla charging network are well developed, and the fact that some Tesla drivers use non Tesla fast charger (since Tesla use the CCS combo in Europe no adapter is needed) helped reduce the problem compared to what can happen in the USA

[@KatAdair]

@@francescoboselli6033 Interesting…thanks for the perspective. I don’t understand why the CCS charger handle has to be so large…Tesla’s is small, convenient, and lightweight. Since I have problems with my wrists, it takes me two hands to handle that plug. Not a problem with my Tesla. The “taking up to charging spots” is a big issue for us, though. Maybe Tesla can build an algorithm into the app that says if “someone has a Rivian or a Bolt, assume they are taking up two spaces and adjust accordingly.”

I can't lie, as a relatively new Tesla owner (Sep 2022) I don't look forward to this rolling out on a wide level. There is some level of comfort in knowing that I can always find reliable charging during a road trip in my tesla and the charging network was the #1 factor in me choosing a Tesla over some other EVs that I may have thought looked cooler that a tesla. Now when the app shows charging spots available but you pull up and a non-tesla is taking up two spots, I cam't lie I would be pissed if I'm in the middle of a road trip with the kiddos in the car and I have to wait because of this non-tesla taking up two spaces. To be clear, I'm not against non-tesla being able to use tesla charging stations, but I am against being inconvenienced because of it, especially when I chose a tesla strictly so that I would not be inconvenienced when charging during a road trip. They should have worked out the logistics of the experience better before rolling this out widely.

[@mbrannon]

Cool channel and content. Found it from the MKBHD video like a lot of others but you have a new subscriber. I know you mentioned the requirements in the infrastructure bill to be able to access funds (I love this decision) but I really hope that eventually we legislate this fully to standardize both charging and access to charging stations. This is a good start but we need to go further. I couldn't imagine how difficult widespread automobile adoption would have been if Fords could only get gas at Fords and were barred from Chevy gas stations or vice versa. It's just anti-competitive and changing it is going to be a major step in in assuring widespread electric vehicle adoption.

24:00 here in europe when Tesla started the opening there were lot of charging issue with some brand, updates were done on both side. It is true that the ccs protocol is very complicated (XML frames over TLS using IPv6 over PLC), other charging network also have issues at the beginning. so you should see less issues in US with Tesla opening.

Seems like standardizing the charging port location across the industry would be a great next step.

[@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney]

That will never happen, unfortunately

Tom, Yesterday I was at our local San Jose VW dealer lot and they had more than 40 unsold ID4s ! Their horrific infotainment and charging software with Electrify America was one of the reasons I canceled my ID4 order! And I did it twice. I planned a long-distance Road Trip and realized that it takes MORE stops and longer charging times with BEVs such as Toyota and ID4 than Tesla. And the experience of charging is also seamless as you showed in this video. It's amazing how unreliable the software is on Electrify America and they are owned by VW!

I just watched you in MKBHD video!!

[@baselkhalil6702]

who's here cause of Marcus? you got the biggest shout out buddy what a crazy coincidence for you

[@jim76356]

This is great! Great bonus as well to see MKBHD. Do you know if there’s any plans to open them up in Canada and I guess the more important question would be as a Canadian would I be able to use the Tesla app to charge in the United States?

[@fleecystheking]

Canadians can’t use Tesla Superchargers in the USA, no. I installed the Tesla app, added my credit info but no Non-Tesla Charging button became available for me. Tesla’s FAQ also states that for non-Tesla charging to work, your account needs to be from a country that has the feature enabled. Canada is not on the list.

In a different vein, I have owned my Mach E for two years and wished someone had provided an in-depth video on ownership and how to maximize range in the COLD months and the HOT days of summer. I now make it a point to educate the curious on this reality when asked about my experience, the cost of charging at home vs. on the road, as well as the range. If you've done such a video, I'd love to get that link so I can share it and allow you to better articulate those kinds of answers. I appreciate your videos and share them often, keep up the great work in educating the rest of us. And BTW, thanks for your videos on L2 chargers well ahead of my Mach E purchase; I was completely overwhelmed before I saw them. Cheers mate.
