The Newest Tesla Superchargers are the Future!

[@Gjeebs]

Here is a video I did a while back on how to perfectly clean your Tesla. This will come in handy over the summer months! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnnLnpdmgs9siLs

Great stuff. Peel the cheese! Made 5 passes through AZ, since ‘21, going FL-SoCal, then SoCal-Austin in a Tesla M3P & Starbase 4/20 in an MYLR. Agree that letting Navigator choose charging stops really helps. On my first EV trip 1st leg I prayed for the car to run low, just so I could stop short of 4 hours. Rocked FSD 90% of the time. As for “slower,” how’s 142 MPH on remote early AM stretches grab ya? Btw, in freezing temps, all the hard running actually preheats the battery, so you often get better than predicted miles! Smoke that ICE nerds! Btw, I actually prefer the slow chargers as they’re easier on the battery & I usually need 2x the time resting than charging takes. Hoping Optiwatt helps. Enjoy the fiver!

[@julioblanco]

I've been watching your channel for a while but have to say, that mockery of our ex-president... Gained you a subscriber! 🍊🤡😂😂😂

[@laurabodycombe7998]

I love the turn signal update they did. Really smart and easy. I also love the Keep feature on the climate control. Keeps the car cool now that summer is here.

[@YTYTYTY7]

The signal update seems minor, but that’s what made me wanna switch the other non-tesla EV that I have to Tesla.

[@kylemoore2068]

Yesterday I had major mirage issues in NV as I traveled back to AZ. Wish there was a "Cruise Control" mode that turned off all safety interventions. I renamed my MYLR "White Phantom". My wife was thinking Tourretts was more fitting.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Had a great 4000KM road trip last week with my new Tesla Model Y AWD Long Range (3 weeks old), totally rocked, just totally rocked! Got rid of my 2023 Ioniq 5 due to dissatisfaction with CCS charging, both on the car and at CCS stations. That road trip with the Model Y, saved about 3 hours from our 2020 Kia Soul EV (in Canada we have the 64KWH update), man was just awesome, love the Tesla tech, love the channel, I heard Model Y's are getting delivered with Hardware 4 with new camera, and, yes and Radar (but not software enabled), might be a fix with radar enabled to stop that phantom braking on hot desert stretches of highway!

[@baldbikeboy]

Even with 40% 3M tint on the sunroof of my 2021 MY LR, my bald head got sunburned last September, while driving up and through Oregon! So I bought a mesh screen that clipped in and is easily removable. Haven’t removed it since, because it lowers the temperature significantly.

[@JayyNation]

Same here

[@N8N88]

I did 20% ceramic and it was a good balance between being able to see out, but sun not being able to penetrate

[@SFOtoLIH]

I keep a baseball cap handy, to keep the sun off my scalp.

[@edgarh252]

Ceramic tint is a must to keep the heat out.

[@JayyNation]

@@edgarh252 even with the best ceramic tint I bought it still feels pretty hot in direct sunlight

[@cjflack]

Only true fans know we deuce at Chilis

[@Chrisb8s]

wait, you went to Dateland and didn't get a Date shake? All those "palm trees" are Date Palms.. just sayin

[@sethssd]

Try out the new FSD subscription for a month.. huge improvements. Also.. changes the highway driving significantly on the recent update

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Just FYI like most dairy String cheese 🧀 gives u Gas player!! Break out the Car Freshener ❤😊

[@wardsworldwelcometoit]

Pretty sure those Palm Trees you're looking at are Date trees 🤷🏻‍♂😁 ... Agree also there should be a Tesla Badge for Superchargers visited, I've been to over 100+ across the country. Heading out next week for another 6,000+ mile road trip! Teslas charging network is SO ahead of the game! .... Q: What's your thoughts on FORD set to start using the Supercharger network?

[@nestormachado9414]

Just did the drive from San Diego to Scottsdale this past MDW in my Model 3 SR+. Dateland supercharger site is amazing! All superchargers should be shaded with solar, especially in the desert areas.

[@michaelmara1338]

Yes, I agree. Been saying that for years. Shades car, supplies energy to charge the car and then can send excess to the grid. It’s a win, win, win!

[@Crunch_dGH]

[@michaelmara1338]

Just did a trip from Phoenix to Tucson yesterday. Stopped at Eloy SC on the way home. 250kw baby!

[@stevenichols4639]

A better TTOTD is that V2 chargers have a silver band near where the handle connects to the cable. Much easier to see than the cable thickness when driving by. Got that from Branden Flasch

[@sciencetestsubject]

For European superchargers it's even easier to see the difference between V2, V3 and V4. V2 has 2 cables (modified type 2 and CCS2) V3 has 1 cable (CCS2 only) V4 has a totally different dispenser design and a longer cable.

[@isthatatesla]

Discovered in a Tesla. Subscribed on a phone found in a Chicago alley. Not sure I'm 100% in on the comedy but we never are. Keep these supercharging length and I'm committed!

[@tyronemcgillick]

my 2023 MY glass top has no problems resisting the hot Australian sun

[@Jeddin]

In case you were curious you were right. The max te Teslas can charge is 250 kw. When you see 253 kw it’s because the car is pulling an extra 3kw to power the AC. Unlike many other brands Tesla doesn’t steal charging from the battery to power AC while plugged in. Smart engineering to give the battery all it wants and it it will pull extra that goes directly to the HVAC system

[@scotduckrow8524]

Gjeebus Saves

[@colindgrant]

Be careful momentary tapping the signal with autosteer enabled - it’ll abort the lane change when you let go!

[@okie0309]

Can confirm the phantom breaking and I thought the mirage effect was the cause. Glad to see people having the same issues. The family and I just went from Roswell NM the Albuquerque NM and we were having a ton of phantom breaking with no other cars in sight.

[@clsanders98]

Likely due to the aliens 👽 in Roswell😊

[@N8N88]

I had phantom breaking when I was in driving through New Mexico as well!

[@BMETFerg]

Tell us more about the new glass. Is it a Tesla product or aftermarket? How did you request the replacement?

[@AZdroptop]

I had horrible phantom braking on I 8 to Yuma last year. My most recent trip it only happened once. I think mostly because they have redone much the road. Also just hit these to superchargers recently and they are great!

[@jmanjr]

This guy is the Arizona version of Hugh Grant 😂

[@AdamEdward]

dang, gas is $4.29 over there. its around $3.59 in the scranton, PA area

[@TheAdventureAuto]

Were you using a camera filter that caused all those colorful lines like an oil stain?

[@samuell.siskind]

On our 2500 mile road trip, my 2023 MY LR hit 257kWh... fastest I've ever seen.

[@pennyharris446]

In Florida here and when I first bought my M3 I got the foolish idea to get my side windows tinted, with Florida limits. If traveling, check state to state tint limits. It’s a no-brainer to a lot of people, but I didn’t know at the time how the tint would limit my travel. I do wonder if in a state of emergency evacuation from Florida, would law enforcement ticket me in a nearby state for the tint?

[@dw4070]

Not sure where my earlier comment went but probably within the month, Chandler will be the newest supercharger site in AZ. They’re being installed at 101/Ray Rd behind the Culver’s ⚡️

[@jimji2774]

That amount of solar panels will not begin to cover the electricity to charge your car but they can help some and are integrated so nicely to provide that shade cover. Its 2023 and Ford and GM and others by the day have agreed to use Teslas Nacs connectors so those empty Tesla stations will soon enough be filling up with all matter of cars and trucks. I look forward to sharing in the network with my Kia EV6 in the near future as they really do have it going on. Good video thank you.

[@AdamEdward]

when it comes to string cheese it depends on the mood, if im relaxing ill just pull it apart but if im in a rush or feeling piggish, i just chomp that mofo down. sometimes ill just take a small bite and string it off using my teeth to hold it then eat that shit like spaghetti. what a versatile food.

[@Crunch_dGH]

[@Yanquetino]

That 252kW starting speed really is impressive! It's just too bad that it then drops off so steadily in a Tesla. By the time you've reached 80%, the power has dropped down to ~50kW. An Ioniq 5, EV6, GV60, in contrast, starts at a lower rate of ~225kW, but at 80% is still charging at ~150kW! Only then do they start to drop even more, hitting ~50kW at 90%. I just wish that Hyundai Motors would now agree to adopt NACS -like Ford, GM, Rivian, Aptera.

[@scotthall1381]

that's the difference between 400v and 800v

[@isthatatesla]

V4 for the v3 supercharging plus solar canopies alone!

[@richardcoughlin8931]

Why do you need more range when you’re stopping fairly frequently for short charging times?

[@natehoy6924]

Fun fact: Those palm trees you pointed out are date palms. The dates for sale in the store are probably from those very trees, or others like them nearby. Missed opportunity to buy a bag of dates and apologize to the trees for eating their children, really. ;)

[@chadolof]

Love your videos! Whenever I buy my Tesla I’m using your code!

[@kathrynmoll86]

..."probably sunny here 400 days out of the year!" 🤣

[@Heresheis0818]

[@stevedowler2366]

Thanks, Gjeebs, for another fun ride, you always deliver. Ummm ... 99deg!? I want to see that 88 stall Supercharger site in Quartzsite but maybe wait 'til winter? Cheers.

[@mountainmantesla4395]

Where did you get that wrap for your hood at the end of the video. I just had my hood hit by a beer bottle and it is trashed.

[@wardsworldwelcometoit]

Currently on a 7,105 mile road trip in our MY, re-watched your video to find out where Dateland supercharger is located, bummed it’s out of our way as I’m headed to Phoenix, and then back to Southern Cal… FTR I had over 30 phantom braking’s on this trip 🤦🏻‍♂️, some were super HARD. set a service appointment next week to figure out what’s going on!

[@HisLoveArmy]

Do you think as charging speeds increase the low range vs long range is not as much as a problem? I am on the fence on a long range vs standard model Y

[@mgm5781]

I just did a demo ride this weekend on a Model Y. My thoughts are it's a great car with a couple of quirks... First the FSD is a bit of a chore. Felt like the car required more import from me, nullifying the ease-of-use claims. It kept bothering me to do lane changes. It requires steering wheel input which must take a bit of finesse as I ended up disengaging Autopilot several times. My biggest complaint was not having an instrument cluster directly in front of me. Spent most of my time babysitting (looking at) the screen fearing I'd miss an input reminder (I did once). I see there are after-market screens that can be mounted to the steering wheel column. Not sure if those screens also show the Autopilot warnings. Your thoughts?

[@dylanwhite6539]

The EA stations despite having 2 cables per booth only one can be used at a time. So 8 cords means 4 chargers

[@formytots0128]

Seriously, how does your camera person keep taking videos without dropping the shot by laughing so hard. :) Good coverage and analysis on why supercharges experience can be fun. Thanks for posting.

[@chadolof]

Shoutout from Tucson Baby!🎉

[@zaidpatel8695]

If you are not peeling your string cheese then your Tesla will catch fire one day.

[@JoeGilpin3837]

Man, you missed the Date shake! its Amazing!

[@pkendall99]

the dude's got jokes for daze

[@RobWood-ik4pz]

on the EA's, I see it aw one 350 at full speed, one derated 350, and two 150's. This location can charge 4 cars simultaneously when fully functional, not 8.

[@K0Flo]

Hey Gjeebs, long time subscriber. Just moved to the area and have a Model S plaid if you ever need one for a video! Thanks for the content man!

[@MarcesAurelius]

interesting if the Tesla Octopussyvalve thingy uses ambient to precondition the battery?

[@maxflight777]

I’m in Portugal.. the glass roof on the MY is actually a pain. Too much sun.

[@westsiyed]

from what I understood its not darker its actually lighter but blocked 2x the UV

[@McGD4]

I only use superchargers to charge, and love charging at the Linq in Vegas in off peak hours. It has the solar setup just like that. 😎

[@Gjeebs]

Yea I've charged there. It's a nice one

[@robp3431]

Electrify America all day baby !!!

[@desolater010]

[@glenngore6609]

We need some Tesla Superchargers “of the future” here in Oklahoma. There is only one in the entire western half of Oklahoma, and none for 180 miles along I-40 from Oklahoma City to Van Buren, Arkansas. They have been saying there will be another one along that stretch for years but nothing yet. There are no Superchargers anywhere in the southeast quarter of the state either. There is a HUGE area between I-40 and I-70 with no Superchargers, or fast charging of any kind. Tesla may be good in the west coast and east coast areas, but they are totally ignoring everywhere between the Mississippi and the Rockies

[@Gjeebs]

I agree they need more there. I have been through several times and they are fine on the main interstates but some V3's would be nice. I was in weatherford and ok city

[@berthogendoorn2133]

I forgot to ask are you going to reinstall the roof retractable shades? I notice that otrifowd full shade has version 2 coming in June get on the wagon and review that one, considerably less cost and has slighter borders than the original!!!!

[@bensontek]

Best part of the video is the ‘ya can’t take my gas’ part

[@meganote]

I wish more superchargers were covered. Nearly all gas pumps are covered. Why aren't superchargers? Yeah that last SC site was fantastic. Never seen anything like that in Florida.

[@MrMikeAllen]

Come for the Tesla, stay for the investigative bone journalism

[@Gjeebs]

I leave no bone unturned

[@0xVeniVidiVici]

Great video again! Was hoping you'd drink a "Date" shake and then stop by a Chili's for a blowout. 😂

[@JarrodMcKitterick]

String cheese.. I start the string with my hand or tooth. Then pull the string with my mouth. TY for the video.

[@joshmatlock1020]

That first one needs a cover man....I know it's not as big of a deal as EA or any other provider because the charging units themselves are much simpler than the other providers (WISELY so) but you're in the dessert so a cover would be good.

[@ricinro]

Tesla needs a option to turn phantom braking off so it could just do cruise control.

[@davebryer6133]

Planet Tesla where the year is 427 days long and the sunshines 400 of those days. But back here on Earth, some states like WI will not allow the chargers to be powered by solar because of the great lobbying of the power companies. And the panels can be snow-covered for as much as 100 days a year.

[@kenhiett5266]

I swear I can taste more flavor when I peel it.

[@baldino.soccer]

A Tesla Model S Plaid has a 100 kwh battery correct? So how is it possible to go to a supercharger, get charged for 40 kwh, and the battery level only increases from 10% to 35%? Shouldn't the battery have increased 40% instead of only 25%?

[@Guerreropowerr]

lol loved the halo reference!

[@That_one_guy03]

I need some chargers in Prescott or Prescott valley

[@chyira8077]

Has anyone done the research on the electrical field while sitting in the car while using the supercharger ?

[@scholz222]

What wheels are those? Maybe i missed the vid.

[@stephaniecruz4153]

I definitely bite my string cheese. Don’t @ me 😂

[@andrzejlisowski5482]

Funnily enough my experience in the Netherlands is entirely opposite. The Tesla superchargers stations are poorly maintained. They are dirty etc. while the competition such as German IONITY, Dutch FASTNED or the French ENGIE have the newest, cleanest, fastest and best maintained DC chargers. Tesla in EU is stack with V2 chargers that at high occupation cut the power by 50% i.e. to 75 kW max. Tesla Superchargers in EU are competing only with price. The service is far behind the European competitors.

[@ApteraEV2024]

10:30😂😂😂STOP

[@NexusPerformance]

I eat the string cheese whole so i get plugged up but on a brighter note..... there aren't any COPS episodes filmed in Eloy for some reason

[@Harrythehun]

The LFP drivers should choose the 150 kW chargers if it’s a busy site.

[@sombritos]

Oh god.. Eloy is in the middle of nowhere… also I’m a peeler

[@justinblair1948]

What is that thing behind the steering wheel?

[@POINDXTRMUSIC]

This channel cracks me up lol

[@IamNoOneUknow]

Gjeebs! Recently sub'd to your channel and the videos are great! Have you ever subscribed to FSD? It would be cool to see you do a video on FSD in your model Y. Thank you for the great content. Chili's 4ever

[@Gjeebs]

hahaha Chilis forever. Here is a video I did on it a while ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH2snmCsj5yjgLs

Those look like Date trees actually lol

[@scotduckrow8524]

String cheese humor, a-peeling.

[@Martinko_Pcik]

1000 mil/h thats supersonic charging speed

[@PackFan2323]

String cheese - too long to pull off strings - I chunk it LOL.

[@stevedowler2366]

True, the Tesla Model Y is not a luxury car compared to traditional $60,000 cars. A friend calls Tesla the "peoples' car" like the first VW beetles and the Ford Model A. The VW is a VolksWagen or "peoples' car" in fact. He would rather have a car that stands out in the crowd to which I reply you can always spot a Tesla on the road, they don't look like any other average Toyota, Honda or Chevy. It is a luxury in terms of what it can do which is where I want to put my money and not so much in the outward looks.

[@robertshunter]

You were surrounded by date palms (Phoenix dactylifera).

[@dannyDrives_Renewable_Electric]

Fun video. I mean I only watched it because the thumbnail said "V4" which was a total misdirection, but not sorry I did.

[@lenimbery7038]

I’ve never eaten string cheese!

[@isthatatesla]

Yes, Dateland IS literally the land of dates and those date palms were IMPORTED decades ago, not native. As for the date shake, if you didn't get one, WHAT THE H-LL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! LOL

[@allieflounder5764]

Everyone peels string cheese

[@kennordsfan1494]

LOL 400 hundred days a year close though 🤷‍♂️

[@bluedog9935]

Hilarious! I about choked on my bong water!

[@aerojet393]

I would assume most EV users are environmentally acute, and would appreciate a trashcan at the supercharger locations

[@nolainnogain]

As a Mach E owner, I'm jealous. I hate Electrify America so much. They are literally always broken. I can't wait to trade my car for a Tesla.

[@HisLoveArmy]

I just eat my string cheese.

[@brendykes1202]

Biting string cheese is blasphemy. Even my pitty won’t eat string cheese unless it’s peeled
