    Most of the Tesla owners who purchasing or using alternative charging adapter are due to employers offer free campus charging, and they are not NACS standard. In fact I have yet to notice a single company in my area providing Tesla standard charging station.

    I just checked my Polestar 2’s SOH after 2 years of use. Came in at 95%…so, about 2.5% degradation per year. My routine was - Since I had 2 years of free charging from EA (part of my agreement with Polestar), I mainly charged at EA up to 70-80% (whatever i could get in 30 minutes). Then, I would charge to 90% at home, using my Level 2 home charger. I recently watched a video about research conducted by “Battery University” that showed one can significantly reduce the battery degradation, and extend the SOH of the battery to over 15 years, by charging at Level 2, from 30%-60% or 40%-60%…every day, or when needed to keep the level in this range. The recommendation is only feasible for people that have short daily usage. Also, the research data was for Lithium ion batteries.😊

    What’s up with Tesla? I was under the impression that they were long lasting reliable EVs. But for a battery to have such a short life span puts my initial impression in question. I drive a 2022 Nissan Leaf and the battery is still at 100%. I’ve never heard of Nissan Leaf batteries having such a short lifespan. Even much earlier Leafs are still on the road with their original battery. I’ve been contemplating the purchase of a long range Tesla down the road, but I think I will just hang onto what I have. After all, if it works, don’t fix it, and in my case, don’t exchange it. I’m very glad I watched this video. I’ll just stay with what I have.

I stopped at a Tesla 'Charging Station' at a Meijer (in Michigan) the other day, scanned the barcode on the charger station with the Tesla app and the charger station I was located at did not come up in the app (faster away stations came up) so I could not activate the charging session. What did I do wrong? Please teach me how to charge using the Tesla's. Thanks in advance.

    The prius prime is a masterpiece you can't beat 130 miles with hybrid and gas combo. my doctor she has the old prius prime and when she told me she gets 1200 miles for a 9-gallon tank full up wow. She gave the prius prime to her son the doctor's husband did a 3-way trade by giving his son his BMW to own the prius prime. what's the range for that Tesla 300 miles I don't think so Tesla is going the way of the bata max and vhs, same shape every year bogus self-driving technology for $20,000 while rear end crashes into police cars and tractor-trailer..mmm Elon still same boring cars and that hideous cyber junk I mean truck. I digress if my Toyota could get 1000 miles on a full up, I would get that one oh yes that's the rav4 prime 14.5-gallon tank 94 miles a gallon. yhea man that's progress my hybrid only get over 500 miles on a full up if they can double my range 1000 miles we can talk. So, Toyota showcase the prius prime with a 60% increase in power that's way cool. you guys made an excellent presentation however you should also include real world driving Comparision we know who will drive further once both cars are on a full charge the Toyota prius prime! Also, Toyota has a 27-day inventory for hybrids the gas cars are in the showroom while if by chance a is on the floor it ends up being driven out. The rav4 sold over a million one year the Honda crv over 900,000 that's because of quality. last physical button was also the reason I didn't get the Venza hybrid because that is what takes to change the climate control leave the buttons and you will have less distracted drivers on the road.

    I drive a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid. After owning it for 2 months and driving about 4K miles, I had a total battery failure. Thankfully I was under warranty and Honda ordered and replaced my battery. This took nearly two months, and they did loan mt a car during the time. When I signed off on the service, I saw that the battery cost was $7K. I was shocked! I hope this battery doesn't fail outside of warranty because we could not afford to replace it. This is a small hybrid battery, so I couldn't imagine a full electric car battery price like on a Tesla. 😨

    Trying to decide to buy now or wait. Tesla gave me a good offer on my trade, 0.99% interest, and the $7500 credit makes me consider buying before the end of the month. We just bought a model 3 rwd in September. I’d buy the dual motor Y. We’d become a total EV family. We’ve found the 3 is too small to use when we go on trips. Should we wait and possibly lose the $7,500 credit if the administration changes, and have a reduced trade in value on our existing trade if we wait to trade or trade now for a sure thing?
