    Mike. Picked up the Model 3 on Monday and went to the supercharger. Worked like a dream and thanks for the tips. The tip to use the next stall up is great, think gents toilets and you will always keep one spare next to you

    This was incredible! Tesla tells you nothing. I just got my new Tesla Friday…today is Sunday. They kept messing up my email address. I was concerned that i’d get to a charger and then what..do you swipe a credit card or what. Your step by step education was perfection. I think there is a market for a Tesla new owner orientation. I would have paid $109-$150 for such an primer. Thanks a lot!

    I stay in an apartment where I rent a Gaurage and I’m only able to do level one charging. But I’m okay with that because I only do level one charging when I have to go on a business trip for a week or so that way I don’t come back home to a dead battery. So I mostly rely on super charging my car at least twice a week. I think it’s still cheaper than gas. When I use to pay 65 dollars every 4 days to fill up my car. Me staying in an apartment won’t be forever this is just what I have for now to work with.

    Super Charger often called Level 3-4 level 3 gives 150KWH Level 4 gives you 250KHW in other words 250KWH is 2X faster than 150KHW , Generally 250KHW = 15 minute charge Level 1 and 2 chargers are generally home chargers Level 1 = 120v Level 2 is 220V 48A = 10.5 KWH max and will be about 25 x slower which = about 6.25 hours to charge fully

    I used the Supercharger and thought I knew what I was doing since I charged my car no problem hundreds of times. I attempted to remove the cable after the charging was over. I attempted to pull out the cable like normal when I unlocked it. Boy was I wrong. Sometimes it can get stuck. I tried the manual release in the trunk, didnt work. I heard the connectors trying to connect and it couldn’t. I saw the error code for it not being completely connected. The light gave me yellow then red then green. I could not remove it till I shoved it back in really hard to then remove the cable as normal. I hope this helps anyone who encounters this problem so you do not panic when you can not remove the cable. Please do not pull the cable too hard, you don’t want to break it.

      You can charge as high as possible!

    Hi Mike, Thanks for the clear instructions. Just wondering what kind of charger you are plugged in your Tesla on the video?

    • @MikeSeuss

      The charger I use at home in this video is the Tesla Mobile Adapter

    So i'm renting a Model 3 for upcoming trip, since i dont own the car or wont have a Tesla account or app, how does one pay for charging?

      If you’re renting a car, you can charge it as usual and it will be billed to the rental company and then the rental company will charge you for usage when you return the car

    I plugged in my Tesla to my backyard outlet and the electricity went off, what should I do?

    • @MikeSeuss
      @MikeSeuss  Год назад

      I would unplug and reset your circuit breaker. I wouldn’t use the outlet again since it may not be capable of handling the charger you’re using.
