I charged on a Type 2 charging cable and my Tesla takes a maximum of 11 Kw/h. On this charger it took me about 2 hours to charge to 100% and that's with battery calibration. I had time for slow charging, but it would be possible to charge with fast charging and it would be less than an hour, I think. I charged 20 kW and paid 6 euros.
Yes, I looked at BYD. I am a city bus driver in the capital region of Finland and in our company there are different versions of city buses from BYD and I have ridden all of them many times and I have some negative experience using BYD buses. Perhaps this negative experience using buses also somehow influenced my decision to buy not BYD, but Tesla. We have BYD for sale in Finland and I compared different versions of Tesla (in my case, I was looking at Tesla M3 and Tesla MY) and BYD cars. I decided to buy Tesla because for 5 years before buying I studied in depth information about all the cars that Tesla produces (positive and negative sides), Tesla regularly releases software updates and the cars really become technologically better each time, Tesla introduces innovations into its cars and I think that in the future other manufacturers will follow Tesla (some time ago Tesla abandoned parking sensors and radar and transferred all security systems to cameras). As far as I know, Tesla is the only one developing its supercharger infrastructure all over the world and every month there are more and more chargers and when traveling in a Tesla in Europe I don’t need to look for charging stations of third-party companies. For me, this was a significant reason to buy a Tesla. I also looked at BYD cars, there is such a minus that the charging speed of the car is slower than Tesla. BYD has a longer warranty period and a slightly lower price, but these are not such important aspects for me. Maybe BYD has some other advantages, but I made my choice in favor of Tesla and I do not regret it. Of course, everyone has their own priorities and needs. In Europe, it seems like you can now charge cars from other manufacturers at Tesla chargers, but only if you do it without a paid Tesla subscription; the price per kilowatt hour will be higher than for Tesla owners if you subscribe (there, it seems, you can even subscribe for just a month, then the price per kilowatt will be the same as for a Tesla owner), but the monthly subscription fee in Finland costs 12 or 13 euros per month, but for long trips you can subscribe to save money, I think so).
In Finland, charging prices are lower than in Croatia, but fuel prices are higher, and therefore electric cars are gaining popularity quite quickly in Finland.

How long is it taking you to charge the car and the cost ?

@@FINTESLAND , Price seems very reasonable , thanks
Did you ever consider BYD?
