I believe those Utah drivers are better drivers. Now about the safety, collision avoidance features in each of these Teslas.In Utah it's likely to be two pickup trucks.......Hmmmm
Taking a Tesla on a long trip is quite different than an EV that doesn't use Superchargers. The limiting factor is whether they're magic dock equipped for CCS vehicles. I don't think you can use an aftermarket adapter on a Supercharger, so they'd be stuck with other options. Can it be done? Sure. Do I want to do it? Heck no. If I'm going to do it though I'll do it in a Tesla. I have no interest in toying with it otherwise. I've seen plenty of videos of long EV trips and it looks like trying to use non Tesla chargers equals a hit and miss headache.But yet-the boards are full of those who have taken their Teslas on cross country trips.

One thing that stood out to me on the trip was just how sparsely used the Superchargers were in many locations. On multiple charging stops, I had the entire Supercharger station — sometimes up to 15 charging stalls or more — to myself. EV critics like to complain about “insufficient infrastructure” for long distance trips in EVs, but that was not my experience on this trip or others in a Tesla. Other than that little charging glitch in Illinois, the Navigation system took me to each charging stop with plenty of power to spare. And I never had to drive more than a couple of miles off the highway in order to reach a Supercharger.

He specifically said CCS which is what I mentioned to you above.Did you read my above post?
I'd really like to see them put their effort in Electrify America into converting to NACS as well and in a magic dock like setup to cover as many vehicles as possible. I'd still prefer to just use a Supercharger, but more options aren't a bad thing.Feels setup that hotel did not have proper chargers so we spend next day searching for one on low charge.

I believe VW is joining the Tesla network soon so many of these woes disappear.
He also has 3 websites as well. I interviewed for an internship with him in my last semester of college. He hired his son. Nathan Adlan that works with him is a real down to earth guy. I met him at the Denver Auto Show years ago.He paid $72K for that?? I hope he's making a lot of money on his YT videos!!
Feel the same about the rest of TFL content?Feels setup that hotel did not have proper chargers so we spend next day searching for one on low charge. Reality TV or internet content …..
Sometimes as it’s much more interesting to watch and get views. Taint the scenario or pick absolute worst condition and then attempt something.They just hired a woman who worked for Tesla and owned body shops or something.

I haven't had that impression from TFL in the past. I'm just starting watching it now. I just saw the part about the hotel with the chargers and they didn't think to ask if they were standard Level 2. The problem with Superchargers is that they won't work with adapters even if they had one. It really seems they just made the mistake of not asking what the chargers were.Sometimes as it’s much more interesting to watch and get views.

Not owning an EV that's something I've never thought about. If hotels etc. don't spell out what kind of chargers they have they should.It really seems they just made the mistake of not asking what the chargers were.
Plugshare has all of this info.Not owning an EV that's something I've never thought about. If hotels etc. don't spell out what kind of chargers they have they should.
A universal standard plug and standard connectivity should be mandatory.
Does plugshare report Tesla Superchargers? Curious...Plugshare has all of this info.Does plugshare

I don't know anything about them, or any non-Tesla charging apps.
What's nice about the Tesla system is it routes you to the appropriate chargers based on number of chargers, in-use vs open and down chargers.
I might check Plugshare out, just for my own information.
