Thanks for all the comments and explanations of why this charger only delivered 33kW. You guys have given me and the viewers a lot more insight and information than both the car and Tesla have. As stated in the video, neither the car gave any information that the charger may have been broken or why it was giving limited speed. When I asked Tesla for a reason to why, they didn't want to give an official statement. Other than trying to get the best results in these tests, they are designed to expose flaws with cars or in this case Tesla Superchargers. As many have stated, I agree that this test should be redone, and it will be redone. But this is still very useful information for a lot of people. I have never myself experience only getting 33kW from a Tesla Supercharger in my four years of testing EVs on the channel, and amongst that seven different Teslas over more than 10 000km across Norway and Europe. I will make a separate video to address many of the comments here!

33kW is exactly what a supercharger usually gives out from a broken stall. Move to different stall and voila full speed.

[markusnatter]

Chris, I really do like your work, but, I would kindl ask you to please stop jumping on the ugly train of using such click bait title pictures and feed that rubbish YT algorithm even more, it just harms migration to a sustainable future.

[olley]

I’ll tell you exactly why. I have been to that supercharger many times and you chose one of the cabinets that are derated. Usually when you get 33 kW at a Tesla supercharger, it means that the cabinet is broken. If you would have moved stalls, you would’ve gotten way over 200 kW. I think this makes this test result invalid because it’s not the cars problem, it’s the charger. The long trip test is supposed to test the vehicle, not the chargers.

[gianlucaparodi]

It’s a big surprise that a guy with your experience did not try another charger. With another car brand, I’m sure, you would have done it.

[berthogendoorn]

Kris, that charger was in fall back mode, with lack of cable cooling it defaults to 30 kw you have plugged and connected another charger!

[pasqualepellegrino]

You may want to consider redoing the test.

[HåkanWittlåck]

Kris are you serious! I think you need to talk to Björn! Ofcourse something is wrong, this is not normal. You should know that!

[PierreSimonsson]

nex time you getting this low speed Charging with the Rigth Contition tha t normaly will give you 250Kw you need to change stall to try again. if the charing site is 50% in use they limit the power to all so my guess is that you get 130 or somthing in this case. ic the stall worsk properly.

[PolestarHEngineered]

Did you return the car with 3% or did you charge again? What speed did you get then? 🤔

[QwertyGuy]

Your test is wrong since the charger was broken - So re-do the test, simple that.

[FordGranada]

I get the impression that Tesla did tweak something about the consumption of our cars with one of the latest updates. Just five days ago I managed to get 519km of range out of my late 2016 Model S 75D with 277.000km on the first battery and 12% of degradation.

[christophelescure]

The charger are broken, when my batterie is low, I take 32 kwh in 12 mins . 4% to 49% in 12 mins on my tm3 lr dm.

[Monaco]

Nå ble jeg skuffet, det kan virke som noen youtube anmeldere prøver å disse Tesla mest mulig 🤓🤪
Hadde du tatt deg bryet med å bytte lader hadde du hatt en ny vinner 😏😏

[babnu]

Smartest EV tester doesn’t get the idea to switch stalls. It will be like sitting on broken Ionity charger till they come to fix it

[Monaco]

Jeg har ikke sagt at du disser Tesla, men nevnte at endel av dere anmeldere gjør d. Følger deg, synes du legger ut veldig mye bra 😉 Har også fått med meg at ofte byttes det ladere eller i det minste nevnes at det er antageligvis issue med
laderen.. Derfor ble jeg skuffet over denne episoden.

Beklager hvis j var litt bastant i min forrige innlegg

Mvh
Rune

[wonderboy]

Maybe Tesla, if they managed to put together a new Supercharger team, should look into creating a system where the charger tells you that something is wrong and charging speed is limited, either through their app or via the car software?

[jasonblair]

Real world experience. Surprised you did not get any feedback from the car about the poor charging speed for so long.

[trinitonv]

Jeg har satt timern på pause og byttet stall jeg da...

[berthogendoorn]

I have had charger dispenser at version 3 supercharger 4 times in 20K km road trips, it is always the dispenser that is the problem, always in around 30kw, time for retake!
