Charging a non-Tesla at a Tesla Supercharger!

41 Comments

1. It was probably intentional that the experimental stations are out in the boonies, at least in the north east. Have a very very busy tesla charger near my place and it's always packed and always a line. Can't imagine what it'll be like if there were integration at that location. Also, lucky for other ev owners that tesla has the ccs (or css i can't remember) adapters built in. I had to purchase my own adapter so that i could charge my M3P at electrify america chargers, at it wasn't cheap. Btw for others who are looking into buying their own adapters to go to electrify america chargers: it's totally worth it. Made an account with EA, pay membership and get 10 cents/kwh cheaper. Just make sure your tesla is able to use the adapter before purchasing. THis is not an ad lol

2. I have had a ev for 2 years now and love it, never had a problem charging it at dc fast charging stations, bunch in Walmart parking lots and shopping centers. Never been to a Tesla charging area before. No real problem charging.

3. To me the most concerning thing is the stations that only have 6 spots. Usually they're busy enough, let alone with a trucks having to take 2 spots

4. Cant imagine they'll retrofit their busy chargers, this will largely be to get more utilisation from idle assets

5. That's why I like PHEVs, gas and plug in.

6. 30 bucks for 30 minutes not worthy I still like my gas just plug for a minute then go. Not a fan of electric too much hassle

7. Amazing surprise collab with Tom from State of Charge! Also, that matte red R1T is 🔥

8. it moslty seems like the cords being longer would fix the parking issues. and its also smart for tesla to do this long term, it will help pay for more chargers to be installed off non tesla users uing this system.

9. Seems you could solve the plug orientation issue with your 4wd capabilities.

10. Wow Every electric car owner has a Youtube now haha

11. I live in Europe (Germany) and have a Model Y. I never charge at Tesla because it is way way too expensive. I always charge at public chargers. But to be honest there are more non Tesla chargers available , then Tesla chargers.
    In Germany (I think it's standard in Europe) all cars are equipped with CCS Plugs (Tesla and none Tesla).

12. Marquis, would you be able to share what is the time plus expense comparison for an EV (charging)versus a combustion vehicle (fueling)?

13. Marques not knowing Tom from State of Charge and insideEVs is a reality check for Mr Msloughney! Lol 😆 🤣

14. Iphone 14 pro camera quality is absolutely insane

15. these charging stations look like a good place for a car jacking or robbery..

16. This is a step forward for a ev’s as a whole but a shot in the foot for tesla. Legit helping the competition that were previously trying to crush you and put you out of business

17. Why does the voice in this video feel distorted? Like it's very low quality audio. Video quality seems fine though

18. Pure chaos. Would never work in California. There would be 10 more cars waiting and blazing their horns and screaming out their windows at you.

19. Yeah I will stick with gas, oil, alcohol, wood, whatever burns…….

20. Where are the Rivian public charging stations?

21. Definitely never buying a ev

22. Love the auto focus channel but you really need to get a mic for filming the audio has so much Echo when you hold it up to the windshield.

23. Marquiss, funny name he gave you

24. Who’s gonna tell the guy with the Ford our guys actual name? 🤔

25. I find this so depleting…

26. Yeah charging Evs are more expensive than gas

27. Tesla doesn't need to bend to other car manufacturers' failure to provide adequate charging on the go through public infrastructure and bad design from where they placed the charge ports.

28. You paid more for that charge than filling up a gas tank. I always thought it was cheaper to charge

29. thats why there only some supercharger available for non tesla, because they only allowed the not crowded supercharger

30. Game Changer, definitely getting an EV motorcycle if I can use Telsa Stations

31. Lovely little impromptu collaboration there!! What fun.

32. What you doing in Jersey

33. I wish they still offer Tesla vehicles a slightly higher priority. For example if the station is 90% occupied, the remaining slot can't be unlocked for non-Teslas

34. this is like apple giving FaceTime to android users. Just that much so that you can have a taste of it but not all off it so that you can still fell like a pesant every time you are forced to charge on the public network 😂

35. Elon has stated a number of times that Tesla will only open up Superchargers to non-Teslas where there is spare capacity.

36. If the do this they should have a longer cable or a cable on a reel.

37. I wish I got a bunch of free sh!t because of my skin color

38. I would tesla dedicate some of the station for non tesla and tesla for the rest because tesla should get priority

39. Tesla super charger is the best!! I charge 75% at home. Someone needs to sell extension for the non tesla evs. So you can back up and charge

40. Damn $30 bucks and not even fully charged, hmmmm. I thought electric cars saved you a lot of money with not having to deal with gas but it doesn't seem to. $30 for going from 30% to 80%. So a full charge would be about $50-60 or so.

41. I am a model X owner and if some non-Tesla cars need to take up two spaces at the busy stations I frequent in CA I can foresee that the patience of the Tesla drivers will wear thin pretty quickly.
