I’m a little upset that I missed this event. Love your content Dave. Fellow CT resident out of Cheshire. We drive a Long range Model y and a Volvo XC40 Recharge.
This video is a gem. Excellent work, Dave. You have great presentation skills and you created amazing slides. This can be a useful video for thousands and thousands of people right now. I wish you even more success to help spread the good news. 🤖🧡
Dave, I saw your videos first in the RUclips algorithm and they are what drew me to the entire Out of Spec Ecosystem. This ultimately resulted in me purchasing a Model 3 for myself and initiating my parents to take the leap into another Model 3 as well. Thank you for your presence and personable, relatable content. Cheers.
Dave, excellent presentation, contents were spot on. I loved the part about etiquette, especially the point when non Tesla vehicles will start using Tesla chargers.
Great presentation Dave. Lot of people don’t watch RUclips or take time to read manuals. This type of education is very much needed. This wasn’t an issue at a gas station. At chargers, there has to be proper etiquette or EV adoption will suffer.
Former trial attorney and former Model Y LR now brand new Model X owner.... DAVE💪❤ loved your instructive presentation and learned a lot from it ❗ Any time you do a presentation we would LOVE to see it on your channel Sir ! Thanks 🙏
Dave, thank you for the presentation. It’s very informative and important. I recently bought my Model 3 because I watched your son Kyle’s videos a lot. I really love this M3, I don’t see myself buying another gas car anytime soon.
Nice presentation Dave. I live in Texas and frequently drive to Oklahoma. OK superchargers are “as rare as hens teeth” as they say. It makes road tripping my 2019 SR+ Model 3 a challenge. Hopefully this changes over time.
For the common man, Dave totally ignored the cost of BEV. He simply mentioned the 7500 tax credit , but doesn’t mention how much they generally cost to buy. His Lucid was well over $100k so it’s a bad example of EV adoption. Only a few cars actually qualify for the tax credit and they are cars under $55k and SUV/Truck under $80k. Those are rare birds.
why was there no discussion of the downsides of EV adoption: 1. Battery Degradation and battery chemistry types 2. charging infrastructure (outside of Tesla's superchargers) 3. lack of range for road trip super cruising (lots of stops required on BEV versus a hybrid or diesel)....4. No discussion of inefficiency of EVs at high speeds > 70 mph which is NOT uncommon these days
Doing the right things. That is why I’ve learned alot from RUclips. I drive a Lucid. Whenever I see a line in EA station. I’m happily to yield for next one in waiting as I have enough range to get to most next destination.
Excellent presentation Dave. I was looking into renting a Tesla for the experience of driving one, but no rental company in my area has any. Lots of people in my area own them though, so hopefully things will change with rental companies in smaller market areas.
You know Dave, if all the folks who were there to see your speech would watch your videos (and Kyle's, et. al.) they'd have known all that info. 👍 Education is key.
Interesting to learn more about you, Dave. You have confirmed what I have suspected for quite a while: that you and I are definitely in a different league.
Since I always listen to this channel, I didn’t learn many new things. However, it’s a great speech, and I enjoy lessening Dave. Also, I have a question, and I would appreciate it if someone could answer it. I have a Tesla Model 3 for about two months, and I enjoy it. Even though I’m also 6’5”, like Dave, I fit into my car well, and I’m using it for my daily commute. I’m fortunate that I have free charging at work. But here is my question: When parked overnight by my home, I typically lose about 5% of the charge. Is this normal? Preconditioning and overheating are turned off, but the century is on.
If overheat protection & preconditioning is off, the main culprit would be sentry mode. You can toggle it to off, from the car, when it recognizes your home geofence. Another culprit could be whether you precondition the car manually before you walk out to your car. That would eat up a little range because it’s pulling power from the battery instead of the plug’s power.
You forgot to mention Martyn who is also part of the Batteries Included Podcast just because he's in the UK don't forget about him he gives the EU/UK view of the world. He's been away for legitimate reasons for awhile adopting another child as he recorded a video for on the first launch podcast. That picture with the 2 of the 3 charging plugs in the US/Canada is actually showing CCS2 which is the rest of the world not the US/Canada which uses CCS1. :)
Love Martyn!! Honest mistake / oversight… I also forgot to mention our OOS detailing channel as well. Apologies to both and thanks for pointing this out
When we bought our EV6 we immediately bought a battery jumper to carry along because of the dead 12V OOS Dave video. Everyone in the family knows how to jump a Kia EV. We quit participating with Plug Share because it's too unreliable and goofy.
With Elons track record of instability do we really feel comfortable giving him the keys to being able to shut down a fourth of the country’s vehicles? #ask Ukraine
Dave, I agree with you that education is critical. Battery charging is somewhat more complex than filling gas tanks. It doesn't have to be scary, but we do need to get the public educated that charging to 100% "just 'cuz" is neither appropriate nor preferred. I do have to say though that I worry that your and Kyle's positions are oversimplifying things too much. While it is clear that Tesla and NACS got out in front of the field, encouraging the public to "just go buy a Tesla" for that reason alone isn't sound universal advice. Of course, practicality and simplicity are major drivers. Some day, charging a car in 5 minutes with the same universality of gas or diesel stations will be a reality. We're not there yet, but that isn't a reason to fear EVs. Your focus on charging speed and the ease of the current NACS design overlooks some real and physics-based considerations. Efficiency and longevity are also important factors. Charging at 300 kW may be great when trying to break a cross-country speed record, but I'm willing to spend an extra 15 minutes per charge knowing that I'm wasting less energy and protecting the long-term life of my car. Keep up your crusade to educate the public on the realities of owning an EV today. You're helping to change the world one buyer at a time. I only ask that you also consider a broader set of factors in your communication.
If charging to 100% is neither appropriate or preferred, then why allow it? The firmware could certainly limit it internally. I do agree with Dave and Kyle that currently, and note I said currently, Tesla is the preferred vehicle because their NACS infrastructure is BY FAR the best. As a current and former Tesla owner, I can say unequivocally that Elon has the Teslas dialed in for the most part. Who else other than Tesla has the superior ease of charging, great software thats NOT glitchy and performance of the Plaid models, which are currently less than half of what a Lucid costs new.
@@malignantnarcissism5892 Because, sometimes, when traveling to areas with limited charging infrastructure, you really do need to charge the battery to 100% to avoid range anxiety. A simple example: I am currently planning a road trip where the shortest route requires getting through a 175-mile stretch with over 4,000 feet of elevation and no chargers en route. Obtaining the required energy buffer to avoid trouble requires starting this segment at 100%. If I couldn't charge to 100%, I would need to take a longer route, adding an additional hour of drive time, on top of needing to stop at multiple additional chargers. Being in a Bolt, I would ideally, I would achieve this full charge by plugging into a 50 kW or even a 25 kW charging station, but course, where I will be, there aren't any. The only options are to either block an Electrify America stall for an hour and a half or spend 8 hours charging the car at a level 2. For obvious reasons, I will be blocking the Electrify America stall for an hour and a half. The point is, while many people do charge to 100% out of ignorance, there are legitimate reasons why people sometimes need to do it, and we should not be too quick to judge people. Usually, the reasons for needing to do a deep charge arise from some form of missing/broken/inadequate charging infrastructure. When chargers become more ubiquitous, the need to do this will decrease.
Nice presentation Dave. When you stop by tge gas station fir air or soda, woukd yiu consider switching from diet coke to diete Pepsi please. As you know, Pepsi supports EVs and sustainable transportation.
Pepsi treated a close family member who was a dedicated employee like crap; was let go in a RIF, screwed them out of their pension and did it with no compassion. so nope
This video misses the point: ALL non-Tesla EV owners will trade in their compliance cars for a new Tesla, and 90% of this prevention will become irrelevant by 2024.
Great vid of EV Charging 101!! Will share with my family members!
I have listened to your videos since the beginning. You continue to move everyone in the right direction. Great speech, great point of view.
Great video Dave! You crushed it.
I’m a little upset that I missed this event. Love your content Dave. Fellow CT resident out of Cheshire. We drive a Long range Model y and a Volvo XC40 Recharge.
Great presentation! Love all of your videos! Enjoying my Tesla MS Plaid down here in Texas! Looking forward to your next video Dave. Thanks!

Dave, well done. A very good overview of where we are at this point in time with EV adoption.
I watch you and your son’s Chanel every times.
Nice video Dave ty. I like the idea of an App, please pursue it.
Dave, great video. You repeated everything we found out on our Florida road-trip with the Bolt. Thanks for everything you do. Be safe
Well Done Dave! I really enjoyed your speech and this video as a whole.

Tesla supercharger are not only not rare, they dominate the charging landscape. You didn’t look very hard.

Dave, come to EV show at Airport Plaza Farmingdale, NY on September 23rd. Would love to meet you.
You know Dave, if all the folks who were there to see your speech would watch your videos (and Kyle's, et. al.) they'd have known all that info. 👍
Education is key.
I was there because I had watched Dave and Kyle's videos.
Man, those last 3 minutes of your presentation took about 20 minutes. But it was well worth it. 😄
Why no discussion of the major issue other than charging infrastructure, The cost of buying a BEV and battery degradation?
It was obvious that he was time constrained even for what he did cover....
Interesting to learn more about you, Dave. You have confirmed what I have suspected for quite a while: that you and I are definitely in a different league.
Regarding the CCS handle, as Sandy Munro once said “it’s a problem when you have to put a handle on a handle” 😂

you are able to structure and convey your thoughts very well. is that an innate ability or did it come through practice?
