I was lucky that when I got my Tesla Model 3 Performance in 2022 it came with a portable charger, I was one of the last customers to have the charger included in the price at "no cost" (no longer included today). But a few months later I decided to order a second one to leave it permanently at home. I installed an extension of the Dryer power in my garage to next to the garage door. That is a 240 Volt Nema 14-50 outlet. I also ordered the Nema 14-50 adapter for the charger. And I also bought a small box that I installed outside the garage and made a hole on the wall wide enough to pass the charger tip through it. So, now I have a permanent Level 2 charger in my garage that can be used inside and outside the garage as well as another charger in my Tesla that is always on the go. The only catch to my setup is that I cannot use the dryer and charge at the same time as everything runs on one line to one breaker. But it cost me almost no money to do this and it has been working very good for almost two years. As for charging levels, I always charge to 80% and my average charge level during the day is around 60% to 70% which is not as good as 50% but not bad either and gives me a bit of peace of mind knowing I have relatively a good amount of charge to go anywhere around the city without having to charge until I get back home. As for superchargers, I only use them on long trips. At the same time, I cannot wait for new batteries like the solid state batteries to hit the market. They promise much better range (twice or more than current batteries), extremely fast charging (200 to 300 miles worth of charge in just 5 minutes on Level 3 and above chargers) have a longer lifespan, cost less (once they are in mass production) and are safer since the catalyst is solid (hence the name). And, they are virtually immune to very cold charging issues, also due to the solid state. I hope my next Tesla will have such technology, or worse comes to worse, the one after that one. Oh yes, I am not planning to get any other brand ever again, unless Tesla goes bankrupt, I will continue to buy or lease Teslas only (used to drive only Lexus). Cheers.
I’d be careful with an extension from a dryer plug. I was going to do the same thing but instead bit the bullet and paid the extra $1500 to install a dedicated 240 outlet to my garage. I based this on my fire chief neighbor showing me the data on the number of fires occurring annually because of that behavior. Some even occurring years after it has even been rigged that way. I’m pretty certain tesla and other insurance companies have a clause Not covering warning against that. Be careful!
@@arricallmond8296this is really great info, thank you! We’re picking up our model y this coming Monday. As we’re renting our house it seems that our only option is the mobile connection.

I have a 48 amp Tesla home charger, but have only been charging between 12 and 24 amps for daily use, only using higher amp setting if I don't have time for a slow charge. Thanks for the tips, and confirming my thoughts on how to maximize battery life.
I literally just started doing this earlier this week after owning my Tesla for a year and a half. Wish I would have did the slow charging sooner. After 16 months of ownership, I've lost 24 miles of range. Not cool and angers me, especially when I realize I've done it to myself (i.e. charging regularly to 100% without driving the vehicle immediately after the drive, not slow charging, etc.).
Tesla recommends keeping your car plugged in while not in use on Level 1 and 2 chargers. Another thing to add that wasn’t in the video. Plus if installing a Tesla wall charger ask the certified electrician to use copper wire instead of aluminum.
Charging speed is crucial , fast charging above 130kW is not advised if want to keep your battery healthy for long . Best charging is with 50-60kW or 7-11kW at home .
But Tesla Canada said there is no problem use superchargers all the time they said same as home chargers just make sure charge it up to 100 ones a week but yea there is no proof the battery get damaged by using the superchargers all the time time
I would like to see the data and source from which you are making your claims about degradation of a battery to only 95% after driving more than 200,000km. It sounds to me like a false claim.
@@grayfoxman Was that the same credit card I used for the down payment? Do I have to swipe the card or tap it, I still haven’t seen exactly how they turn on the charger. Thanks for answering my question.
@@vtxdarylOpen the Tesla App > Hit the 3 horizontal lines (三) > Select your profile name > Wallet. This will take you to the screen that shows which card is on file and allows you to add and delete them. This is the same card that Tesla charges when you charge your car
No swiping. It's automatic. You set up any card with Tesla on the app. After that, as soon as you plug in, it knows that it's your car and automatically charges your card. Seamless, Just pull up and plug in. Simple as that.

I typically charge my '24 Model Y at 240v 16amps using my Tesla Mobile connector. I can charge at up to 32 amps if I switch to a different cable. My garage is climate controlled which keeps the cooling fans from coming on during charging sessions. I only charge to 60% as I don't drive a lot each day. Haven't supercharged at all.
Supercharger has no problem with Tesla battery life. Lithium Batteries are like a cellphone. If you use it or not, charge slow or fast, they will be junk one day 😂
There should be no wrong way to charge any car. One shouldn’t be able to mistreat it. People are dumb. They fail to change their oil, air filters, do brake maintenance, etc.
Yes the BMS should do the heating and cooling of the battery but I don’t think putting more battery in then saying it’s 100% charged but it’s really state of charge is really less, we can do that with the SOC settings.
So, you say that if you live in a property where you are directly unable to charge your vehicle, then an EV is not suitable for you. What are people supposed to do in 2035 then when production of fossil fuelled vehicle's are outlawed in the whole of Europe? give up personal transportation totally discriminately depending on the type of accommodation they live in?, as using an EV from slow chargers just will not be a viable option for 46% of the entire EU population as they live in flats!!. Fast charging will not be a sustainable option as you have said yourself due to rapid battery degradation. Allotted flat parking chargers will also not be a solution, as they are few and far between if at all, with a totally impractical one or two per several hundred residential units. So half the population must sacrifice personal transportation then?.
By then chargers will be everywhere, battery technology will be so good, and batteries so cheap it won[t matter. You don't have a gas station at home do you?
@@richardalexander5758 'chargers will be everywhere, battery technology will be so good, and batteries so cheap it won[t matter', lets see then shall we as it's only 10 years away and the clock is already ticking to find the solution to the 46% of Europe's private transportation system and this new wonder battery technology (and phones/laptops/and everything else on the planet that also badly need this new technology!) and an ample new gigantic charging infrastructure for all to access easily 24/7.

In eight years, there’s gonna be more public charging then there is gas stations currently. Every month new charging and better charging systems come out. Not to mention that chemistries. We’re not that far from 2,000,000 mile batteries. Which will far outlast of vehicle. Do a little research next time.
@@dennisknehans3206 More public chargers than gas stations and 2 million mile batteries commercially available and in mass production in consumer vehicles? all within eight years? What country do you live in Fantasia?. Solid state batteries have at most 4x the capacity (so an average of 1000 mile charge which don't get me wrong is good!) but at best 2x the price of current LifePo4 to manufacture once in full mass production (loading another $20k on top the already expensive $50k average asking price, lower range models will reduce prices back to only current ev prices, still too expensive), any with realistic goals for low volume production starting in 2030 (a few early models possibly in 2028 from Toyota, wishful thinking). I have done my research thank you, perhaps stop absorbing so many You Tube science fictional battery tech and infrastructure video's full of promises promoted by an underperforming business sector in an attempt to bolster lacklustre sales. Two million mile batteries based on NMC 532 will NOT be fitted to consumer vehicles for a long time if ever, as it has been deemed by the industry that consumer vehicles have 'no need to last beyond 12 years or 160,000 miles' (all in various reports including Dalhousie University's, go look it up online). The research article also states that the battery tech is based on a 'white paper' result from a lab test of a few years under ideal conditions, and all predictions were based on a 2000 charge/discharge cycle. They also confirmed the battery is indeed intended for industrial commercial use such as public transport and freight and power storage facilities. Forbes also covered the NMC 532 report in an article back in 2022 if you care to look it up... I agree with you, we have a theoretical 2 million mile battery right now ON PAPER with a prototype in a lab that could cover commercial and industrial use with a dream that Toyota thinks it can start production in 2028, but as for anything in a decade for consumer level transportation and being the saviour for consumer transportation? nope, any available batteries are going straight in to trucks for a decade+!.
