Tesla 'Magic Dock' Superchargers Can Now Charge Non-Tesla EVs!

After years of promising it, Tesla is finally starting to open up its Supercharger network to allow non-Tesla EVs to charge. I check out one of the first Supercharger stations with the "Magic Dock" that allows non-Tesla charging less than 24 hours from its opening.

Found you through MKBHD. Great video. You’re so right, this success shows the lack of effort on the awful charging networks.

[jmcruz]

Found your channel through MKBHD. I love the love from fellow EV enthusiasts!

[DonOmarRamiro]

Ive found this channel because or Marques... I followed that man since he was a boy reviewing 40 bucks digital cameras... Now, you get a new sub because of him.!

[mayacal]

This was like watching a Marvel movie crossover. Great job guys.

[DelPhonic]

I’m shocked you and Marquez got there at the same time! As a Tesla owner, I’m happy to see non-Teslas get a decent and consistent charge experience.

10:54 - I just love this segment. Marques just nonchalantly enters the frame "oh gives us a regular dude wave". Absolutely love :D :D :D

Love the MKBHD cameo (and your subsequent cameo on his video)

[davidbetancourt]

Got here because MKBHD shouted out the video. Liked the interaction with the State of Charge guy so came on over.

The guy with the Lucid was a great guy to interview. Sharp, knowledgeable and well spoken. Good video.

[Nodnarb]

That MKBHD video got a million eyes on this channel. Good stuff.

Two of my Favorite YouTubers at the same charging station!

I'm a 2022 MYP owner. To me it seems that the R1T, Air, and Lightning all worked on the first attempt. That in itself is stellar. It was really awesome that you got to see three different manufactures (other than Tesla) charging. The cables and be swapped out. The layout of the stalls can be adjusted. Overall the fundamental ground work is super solid for other manufacturers. This is exciting.

Tesla actually announced today at their investor's event that they have started installing their V4 supercharger in Europe that actually have longer cables! Great news for our future

[ksmoker]

Was watching Marques' video and was like, "Is that Tom?!" Two of my favorite content creators!

I am a Tesla owner! I will comment here. I think it is a great time to live, we are seeing the future rolling out. It might not be good in the short term for occupancy at the Superchargers, but the fact that the best charging network will be opening to other EVs owners/brands, will actually help EV adoption and hopefully change all the bad press around EVs in general.

[javiermx]

I love the fact that the two of you helped each other :)

Came from MKBHD's Auto Focus channel. Congrats!!

[johnchapman]

I own two Tesla’s and I am thrilled with the increased charging availability for non-Tesla EVs.

[GriddlezGG]

I loved watching the cameo moment, was awesome haha. Glad to see you found a way to make the lightning work.. now let's pray this shows up soon in at least interstate corridors that really need it right now, that lack good CCS.

[Lloyal]

Tesla owner here 🙋🏽‍♂️ I think videos like this will spread the awareness needed to improve the network. Also hoping opening the network up will bring in the money to justify further expansion and upgrades. This will have some short term frustrations but don’t all major transitions?

Found you because of MKBHD that’s lucky as hell. Definitely a boost to your channel
