Love all of the explanations of why not to charge to 100%. I personally like to supercharge between 5% and about 40% since it's about a bathroom break for me. The lower the battery, the faster it charges. You'll get used to it soon enough! Welcome to the Tesla fam.

This is my first electric vehicle. I love the experience so far, especially the smooth and quiet ride. The acceleration is also impressive. I previously owned a Honda Accord, which is a completely different driving experience.

Please don’t be charging to 100 all the time. I can tell you don’t have a LFP battery 🔋 because it tells you 80 percent recommended for daily usage on the screen. You will make your battery last sooo much longer if you keep it between 20-80 percent for all daily needs. I use 100 just for that first initial charge before a long trip and then drop it down to 80. Happy battery happy you lol win win

5:37 You don’t have to bring your phone when stepping out to charge even if you close the door.

Bit of friendly advice dont charge to 100% on the superchargers.

The time it takes the car to get from 90-100% is so much longer than it takes from 20% to 80%.

You are usually much better off leaving once it hits 80-85 than waiting till it hits 100%.

Also that Mile predictor is no way to plan your journies with.
Its better to work with percentages.
I have never seen an Electric vehicle (tesla or not) where it's accurate for the journey you're about to do.
The best ones guess based on the journies you've already done.

Hi, you should also show how much you spent at the SuperCharge station, just for reference, thanks.

[frosty_shark]

OK but how much money did all the super charging cost? Curious as I dont own an EV and would be interested in how much cheaper a trip like this would cost vs gas

Don't charge to 100% at SC since the charge rate past 50% battery state of charge is very slow. It's better to charge enough to continue trip, drive down to below 20% at the next SC to get the best charge rate, charge to enough %SOC to get to the next SC for the best charge rate, and so on. Obviously every trip is different and you'll want to to have enough battery when you get to your destination so your charging stops will need to be set up accordingly, but sitting at a SC waiting to 100% is just painfully slow.

can not wait for the white interior ones

It’s an egregious mistake to supercharge to 100%. I suspect you did some video edits, but you will agree it said 5 minutes remaining for 20 minutes.

On road trips you don’t use the Tesla route planner. Enter the next Tesla Supercharger by finding it on your trip map. Reach that supercharger and enter the next Tesla Supercharger destination. Leave as soon as you will arrive with 10-15% remaining. Repeat. You could have done 3 sessions and reached your destination 45 minutes earlier. You will charge for 10-15 minutes and get on the road again.

What's the tapping on the tail light for?

Only charge enough to get to the next V3 charger and when the speed dips below 140kW

I love your content my man. Hulu seem to enjoy your Tesla and I’m on the fence about it. I really want a model 3 perf I mean is it worth it ?

[deenjayz]

I have both Tesla 3 and Ioniq 5 I bring the Hyundai for my road trips cause its take 20 mins to charge to 80% then i go on my way

[cysong]

if your trip is 400 miles and long range can go ~300 miles why did you charge to 100% at home ? you could have charged to 90% and it wouldnt have made a big difference it seems. Just curious

How can you drive with that Fire tablet in the middle of your windshield?

[frosty_shark]

Pittsburgh highways and suburbs have absolutely awful roads. They are always perpetually under construction, and there are potholes everywhere. Always traffic just a terrible place to live.

[barryfisher]

I'm probably getting one of these, but is this what the normal driving practice is for all EV drivers of constantly obsessing about energy use and minuscule percentage changes, or is that just because people are doing review videos?

You went through my college town of Williamsport. How was the sheetz

i was hoping you are going to do fsd from start to finish
