What was the point of getting this expensive inconvenience in the first place?

I am heading 500 miles east to check out a new Shell station to see how fast it squirts gas. Get a life people.

I thought tesla wasn’t opening up charging for genesis until 2025. I just got a 2024 GV70E. Can you do it now? That charging was slow though. Luckily I have EA stations near by that can do the full 250

Driving 400 miles for Starbucks mugs doesn't seem to be good for the environment. Thanks

Thanks for your videos. As always very informative and entertaining.

My wife and I just did 1000 miles to NW Arkansas and 1000 miles back from Charlotte... in our little Chevy Bolt. We almost got stranded though because the sleeve guide for the DCFC pins popped off! Lucky I saw it go flying and put it back on but we didn't know for 4 days if we would be able to fast charge, had no problems on the drive back. Bolt is now over 157k miles on the odometer. 😀 Looking to get a Model Y currently to use for road trips.

Pretty soon non-Tesla's will be able to make the WV trek too. Currently it is a tough row to hoe for us in CCS land. That will change when the good people at the TesSC team open up to other makes. We have a Cadi LYRIQ & a Volvo BEV which are said to be next in line, so hopefully not too much longer. Sweet wrap. Looks crisp. Thx for the vid. I enjoyed watching.

Been goingnfurther and further with my my. With the mapping showing you the next charger and expected amt of charge left, really helps me to let go the anxiety. Never see more than 2 other cars at 8+ charging stations. Sit and charge, pkay some chess. Catch up work texts anf emails. No stinky gas station. Love it.

That first Tesla sight is set up so stupid! Who ever designed it doesn’t drive EVs.

Any 17mm that works? Bought the Riviparts piece but can't find anything anymore

"Overall build quality seems... pretty OK on this one?" Now that's an endorsement that makes me want to put my family in it and start down the highway.

did you think of calling ahead to the various mug locations to order for later pickup? May have scored the mugs you were seeking. Enjoyed the video.

Gotta give you props for the clean windshield! Thorough coverage of these sites-from complex detailed explanations of the power structure of each power station to the price of each.. well done. Thanks for the video!

Branden, super educational, thanks for posting. A few questions: 1. The standard Tesla V3 charger setup is a 600A cabinet to 4 dispensers, correct? My math tells me this can output a total of 498 kW, unless you have to derate by 25%. Does that mean the 250 kW posted limit on each dispenser could be reached if only 2 cars are charging? Would it split down to an avg of 125 kW if all 4 ports were being used? 2. Kinda related, would a set-up like this work for NEVI? My guess is not because they require 150 kW, just not sure if it allows for load sharing that might go below that. 3. Why are you shopping for Starbucks mugs?? You never actually say why, LOL. Thanks again for the great content!

Camry Hybrid goes 630 miles on a tank of gas. Then 5 minutes to refill the tank. Tesla cannot compare to that .

Yay Mt. Airy…that’s where I was born. In CLT area now so I’ve been to most of these in my MX. Good vid!

4680 was supposed to be this huge game-changer. Turned out to be a nothing-burger.

Payment terminals are SO old-school. They are one more point of potential failure. Every driver has a cell phone that can activate a charging session. Alternatively, RFID tags work well too.

In case you didn’t know, a CT is a current transformer used to measure power through a wire. It’s nothing more than a large coil of wire that produces AC voltage proportional to current flow in a wire.

Ive have 2 adapters coming from Ford, I am 4600 and 4800 in the queue according to the order numbers and they are in transit via Fedex and should have them on Monday June 17. Ordered mine within minutes of orders being accepted and just finally getting mine.

After how much you've reported on the absolute abysmal charging performance of the 4680, it still doesn't cease to amaze me how bad it really is. At 23% just immediately falling off a cliff from around 168kw is insane. My 5+ year old Model 3 SR+ with over 100k miles on it will hold 175kw from 0-30% and then hit around 90kw at 50% which in comparison is pretty decent.

16:12 $0.57 per kWh plus a $250.00 fine for being in a disabled spot. That's a costly charge! 🤣

I always enjoy your road trip videos. Thanks!

I saw in Atlanta there are gen. 4 super chargers at Lowe's. So it must be a thing.

I believe payment terminals are a NEVI requirement, so if it's not a NEVI-funded site I'm sure Tesla removes them. I'm sure Tesla wants everything to go through the app and doesn't want anything to do with payment terminals unless required by law.

Hey Brandon Thanks for the video, What phone apps do you recommend to find dc fast chargers when you are on the road?

What is the charging curve of the 4680?

Glad Tesla is finally expanding the Northlake supercharger site as it’s ALWAYS busy.

You sure do have a “rosy” opinion about every little thing don’t you?

Keep these coming Branden. They are always helpful. Most of my road trips through NC are on the 95 corridor side of the state.

USd0.35 = GBP 0.28 /kW - we dream of public charging rates that low here in the UK - even Tesla super offpeak isn’t that low in the UK!

Is this the base model dual motor?

why would you want anything from the virginias.........great charging infrastructure video otherwise!

One question, not sure if it is only me but would you ever consider doing a deeper dive video on power boxes and what they mean? I see a bunch of YTubers discuss quickly what they are seeing but never understand what exactly that means. I might be the only one interested in which case disregard but I always like to improve my knowledge.

Another great video! Circle K is expanding like crazy with EV Charging in USA/Canada. Not sure about the choice with ABB. The site near me is broken yet again "Always Be Broken" however future proof as well with 2 extra pads

I would like to see a video describing the topology in a Tesla charging station. I assume there must be a power electronics module for each charging port to control power flow. (I'm an EE).

The non NACS v3 sites, Have you noticed many being converted to NACS??? Is the rate of change based on software updates?

the after market wheel covers are looking amazing! very good choice! 👍

i know this video is a month old i just got the LR RWD its awesome comes with the premium audio as well

Your series of videos on the 2024 Model Y RWD Standard Range sold me on getting one. Especially the charging curve and 70 mph range test. I traded in a 2022 Bolt EV. The Bolt was great for around town and day trips (300-400 miles). I am loving the Model Y. Charging is amazing, build quality is great (no issues at delivery or in the 2 weeks I've owned it so far), the base sound system is good, controls took about 2 days to get used to (I use everything without thinking about it now), acceleration is great (about the same as the Bolt but without torque steer and has better acceleration at highway speeds), ride comfort is better as is cabin noise, and all the other standard features are wonderful. Thanks again for the very, very helpful videos. I'm looking forward to the "range boost" upgrade if it comes out. Would like to see what the charging curve is on a 2024 MY RWD LR as compared to the SR.

I thought the 2023 has the projector matrix headlights. I see it’s the reflectors

Thank you. I am gonna try this method. I wish all of these maps would let me draw my desired route on the map

Not the cheapest version. Grey is the free color not blue.

Wife wanted white seats instead of long range. Sigh. Kinda wish i didnt compromise.

Model y 7 seat, rear cargo mats need to cover 3rd row armrest or separate covers

Ok I’m ready to change my bulbs. Thanks!

Hi Braden, thanks for the info. I have a question: For my MY RWD (made in Fremont Jan 2024), is the battery locked? It shows in the system: high voltage battery - LFP. Thank you.

Love the video but one question. I may have missed it but did you explain the saran wrap on the front of the car?

Love the video and those are cool things but Fxck lol. Too many things. The reason I bought a Tesla was because it was basic and minimal.

I have a 2023 Model Y long range dual motor 6200 miles on the odometer and my lifetime average is 251 Wh/mi.
