If you are the only one charging and someone arrives and plugs in next to you it’s because they don’t know that the power is shared. Don’t be angry. You just need to approach them with a smile and politely explain how it works. They will probably thank you for explaining
You would think it would be self-explanatory if anyone understood the concept of power or electricity. An additional strange behavior is when someone in a completely empty area decides to put themselves right next to you when there's so many other spaces. that applies in a parking lot also when you're in your car and someone decides to park next to you when you're clearly out in the far corner of the lot to have some space.
Just ordered my m3--very informative video, thanks!
I went to a super charger the first day😂 Enjoyed the vid as always Jay👍🏽
Haha ain't no shame in that -- I'm pretty sure 99.9% of us did!
super helpful for my research paper on Tesla, thank you!
Glad it was helpful :D good luck on your paper!
This video was excellent. Thank you brother. Been having some questions and the all got answered
Glad it was helpful Chris!
It’s great how you always find a fact to share that no one else mentions. In this case, the bit about not plugging the cable back in if the charger is broken. Never learned that after all these other videos. Great job.
Thanks David! Glad my videos can provide value :D Let me know if you have any other topics regarding Tesla that you would like to learn more about
I’ve had my model Y Tesla 2 months now and have not used a supercharger yet. It is so darn convenient to just charge it up at home. I have the 240 plug. Great video! You answered a lot of my questions. 👍👍👍
Awesome video for a first-time supercharger user! 👍
Great job on videos Jay, thx for the content.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the informative video! I'll make sure to use your referral link when I order mine.
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to check out the other Model 3 preparation videos on the channel :)
Super helpful!!!
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great review man . Awesome information.
I’ve super charged twice now for FREE! With your referral code!!!! Woot woot!! I love it lol
Haha awesome!! It's the best!
Nice vid, I like how you explain things. 👌
Glad you liked it!
Great video. got to the point and made a lot of simple analogies.
Thanks Douglas! Glad it was helpful to you!
I've had my Model Y for 6 months now but I'm taking my first "trip" in it next week. I was concerned about the very issues you addressed in this vid. Thanks!! You've taken stress out of my first supercharger visit. Thanks again and did really like your vid and your presentation. Job well done!!!
Super glad I could help and I appreciate you checking out the video! Have fun on your trip!!
One of your video was just featured by UA-cam.
Great find for me. Keep going, bro.

That's awesome! Glad to hear the algorithm is working in my favor haha. Thanks for subbing!
@@JayWuOfficial Yeah, don't stop. The YT algorithm is with you.
Idea:
How about a comparison of yearly cost of ownership between your Model 3 and your last car?
awesome content! keep going
Thanks, you too!
Jay, my man! Congrats on 1k!
Thank you so much Vince!! What a journey for the both of us :)

Thanks so much! I hope so! :)
excellent video great explanation
Glad it helped, Bob!
My feedback after doing a long-distance road trip to Austin is that I would never do it again if I had a choice. The first charging at Abbot took no more than 10 minutes while going but while coming it was longer at the same place. Also at certain stations, we had to wait in line for a spot to open up. once a space opened up it, unfortunately, took about 10 to 15 minutes to get it working so not a risk I would take with kids unless you have plenty of time and patience. They really have to improve these facilities.
Thank you!!!!
you are very good at making this kind of video
Thank you Chun Wei!!
great analogy about filling a glass with water
So basically the same etiquette rules for men and urinals?
Haha this actually made me laugh
That's exactly what I just commented 🤣. First thing I thought when he said that. We all know that one guy...don't be that guy, lmao.
Idk man if youre having issues I wouldn't just leave the hose hanging out tho..
@@Camelotsmoon ug r h r y
Yeah. Don’t pee on my shoes bro
nice presentation. How do you differentiate between V1, V2 and V3. Visual cues?
Great information! I ordered my model 3 recently and hope to be up to speed by the time I take delivery, haha!
Thanks! Congrats on your Model 3 :) Make sure to check out the other videos on the channel too I think they might be useful for ya!
How is it?
@@_OscarIvan I love it! Highly recommend! :)
Great videos. Wow. So helpful. Still considering on whether to buy a Tesla. Live in an apartment and I can super slow charge my car if I got one. However, May need to use the 1 supercharger present in my small town. Anyway to gather free miles and not have a UA-cam channel? Keep up the good work. I’m going to watch a few more of your videos. 😎
Thanks Tanweer! :) Glad you are enjoying the videos. Hmm free miles wise you can get creative with it lol. For example you can create a sticker to put on your car with your referral code. Or you can try convincing your friends/family to buy a Tesla haha. But creating a channel is the best way!
You only forgot to mention before supercharging you need to preheat the battery’s. You can do that by pressing your Location where your supercharger is located in your car will automatically start to pre-heat and warm the batteries for supercharging this was something I did not know at first and was very helpful tip. Keep up the good work.
Just heard you mention Santana Row. That's when I subscribed. I'm from SJ too
Jay This video was helpful, I plan to show it to my GF. The charging etiquette is well explained. We are taking delivery tomorrow in Fremont, even though we live in Lathrop and the car was in Lathrop Fremont or Rocklin are the closest delivery centers for us LOL -_-
So glad it was helpful :) I'm surprised they didn't take the car up to Lahtrop for you but at least you'll see the factory haha!
Embassy suites in Milpitas looks nice
Great video! I just purchased a used Tesla and the dealer needed to order a mobile charger for me so supercharging only until it arrives and really needed this quick overview. Thank you so much!
Thanks Phillip! Congrats on your Tesla!
Last week I found the plug laying on the ground. In this case someone was too lazy to put it back because the supercharger was operating fine. Good tip to know however and yes first person waiting should get the next open charger.
i just ordered my 2021 Model Y. I actually won’t mind hanging at a supercharger. I don’t go out much so it’s something to do
Congrats! And I agree -- it's actually quite relaxing if you turn on some music and kick back haha
Is the free charging still with working ?
Our first time to watch charge at home since purchase
Is there an app you have to have to charge the Tesla if you make it look real easy but I never owned one
Forgot to mention how long it takes to supercharge but other great information to know about! Subscribed!
Thanks Mervin! Supercharging time is tricky because it depends on what % your car is at, weather conditions, and the type of supercharge you use. But to give you an idea, it typically takes me around 30 mins or so from 20%-90%
Jay Wu Let’s say supercharging in Yermo, CA where the weather is 90 degrees and above heading to Vegas how long do you think it would take to supercharge ?
It looks like from Yermo, CA to Vegas is only around 145 miles so no charging is needed as long as you're full. But hypothetically if you were at around 20% from Yermo and you needed to charge to 90% in an SR+ it would probably take 30-35mins
Is the wing you have from factory?
How do we get Tesla to put a super chargers at Borrego Springs, CA?
We are soooo close to 1,000 subscribers WOW! You guys are amazing -- I cannot thank y'all enough!
P.s - hitting 1,000 subscribers is cool and all but scrolling back up and hitting the LIKE button is even cooler 😎
I never noticed that the charger was down at Santana row! I know this is an older video but do you know if they’ve fixed it by now? I know exactly which chargers you’re talking about, I thought those are for valet only?
I believe they should be fixed now! You can also check by clicking on it on your touchscreen to see how many available chargers there are :)
About to get my model 3 performance tomorrow and trying make sure it’s right purchase I recently got rid of my Dodge Challenger V8 due to issue I order a model 3 performance month ago and now up for delivery I’m curious if model 3 will save me money and how much to use supercharger.
You can typically just charge at home if that's available to you. I think you made an excellent choice though!
Hi I’ve tried everything and can’t figure out how to suggest/ask/tell TESLA to install a super charging station in the Borrego Springs, CA area (zip code 92004). Can you help?
nice
Thanks!
Is there any other way to get free supercharging miles without a referral? Also, if a supercharger is the only way to charge until you get a home charger, is it that safe to do that everyday?
What about pricing? You didn’t mention how much it costs to fill up the battery
What if I don’t have the app set up yet? How do I pay?
I've had my car for almost a month, and I haven't used a supercharger yet. In fact, I've only used a L1 (120V) charger in my garage. I don't drive that much, so that's sufficient for my needs (most of the time). Next week though, I am taking a trip that MIGHT require me to use a supercharger. We'll see.
I think you’ll be surprised at how quick it charges! ⚡️
@@JayWuOfficial Oh yeah I was...I had to use a supercharger last night to get home. I only charged up enough to leave me with 20% (estimated) when I got home. It took around 12 minutes. When I actually got home, I ended up having 29% left, so I could've probably gotten away with only charging for 8 minutes or so. My friend that was in the car with me said "that barely took longer than getting gas, why do people say it takes so long".
V3 supercharger are also liquid cooled to keep the connector cool and charge rates up. As the v 1&2 can get hot and the 150 kw drops significantly even if you are the only car there.
I didn't know that, thanks! I'm honestly super impressed with the V3 superchargers
@@JayWuOfficial no worries, I learned it from OutofSpec Motor... they just did a long vid of their road trip from Louisiana to North Dakota and had the issue with V2 overheating and gave tips on them, also explained the V3 Liquid cooler.
Keep up the great work
@@RRooooooNNNN Thank you I really appreciate it!
People mention the "pre-conditioning". Do you have any idea?
good vide9
Thanks Ricky!
where do you see the battery level?
Leaving the connector on the floor as sign of etiquette if the charger is not working is not safe, keep in mind that things has electricity on it, so it could discharge electricity if the ground is wet.
I'll keep that in mind for next time, thanks for sharing Oswaldo!
I hate super charger stall when i park the charger wont reach my left car chargeer port i had to part in next spot! The way the design the parking lot it doesn't line up!!
Hi I was thinking about purchasing an tesla. I'm in an apartment, but near an charging station. Is it ok to just use the charging stations
Hi Brian! I primarily use superchargers to charge my car so you shouldn't have any issues with it either :)
can you please suggest route planner app?
I personally haven't used one but I've heard this one is good -- abetterrouteplanner.com
Thank you, Jay! I just stumbled upon your channel and I love it, thank you! I just got a new Model 3 Standard Performance Tesla, and recently took it on its first road trip. My question is this, why were we only getting 60kW hours at a 250kW charging station? We were at 35% when we pulled in and the Tesla had been prepping itself for a Supercharge. Got any ideas? Thanks again!
Hi Zan! Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to me! I'm not entirely sure however it may be because of the amount of amps you set on your touchscreen. While charging, check it out to see if it's set at 32 amps and then look at the kWh you get then. Let me know how it goes!
Jay Wu Jay! Thanks so much for the quick reply. I didn’t even know you could adjust the amps. I’ll give it a try and let you know. Thank you, again. I’ve watched A LOT of videos on and about Teslas and you remain one of my favorites.
So happy to hear that! Please feel free to let me know if there's anything else you would like to see on the channel! :)
i know im a bit late to answer, but if there are alot of cars charging, then it would be way slower
to charge than if there was no one there. if there are 10 slots or so and only 2 cars are there, then you should charge like 2 slots away from the other cars, and it can make you charge faster. hope this helps
How much does one full charge cost?
What’s a Rdif?
I'm renting a tesla model s with free supercharging, does that mean it's only free at supercharger stations. Sorry I'm new to teslas.
How do u pay for supercharge
I don't think you covered this but, how do you get free supercharging?
Doesn't the tesla website specifivally day not to super charge to 100%?
I live in nyc and cant charge at home since i live in a apartment building was wondering should i take my tesla to a supercharger daily or only when needed ? Thank you and waiting on my delivery thats why I'm asking
Good question! It depends on how much you drive every day. I would suggest only charging at superchargers when necessary. Ex. I don't charge my car unless it's below 25%
@@JayWuOfficial Thank you and great vids very helpful stay safe
Anytime brotha! You as well!
This is bad information. Batteries like to be around 60 - 80% state of charge. Consistently running the car way down and leaving it like that will accelerate the degradation of the battery. You can do it, it will absolutely work, and Tesla's warranty will protect you from extremely severe degradation, but there are consequences for running the car like this. Tesla's warranty only covers greater than 30% degradation.
Good video. Especially the etiquette part. Should avoid some misunderstanding amongst Tesla owners. 👍
I'm a new Tesla Y owner. I went to an EV charger stand and it wouldn't fit . Can you please talk about charging adapters??
Congrats on your new Model Y! I believe the adapter you need would be a J1772 adapter
@@JayWuOfficial thanks so much! I was so lost....
If my wife were to borrow the car, can she use the supercharger without the app ? Right now the app is only on my phone.
Yes absolutely since supercharging is linked to the account
We just picked up a Tesla today, so is it too late to qualify for the 1,000 free miles?
Congrats on the new Tesla! It might be too late but wouldn't hurt to call and ask a rep to see if they can make an exception
What's the etiquette at V2 superchargers if every other spot is taken? Do you just pick an unlucky person to get their charging speeds halved? lol
Pretty much haha! 😅
For the water anology, dont use a pitcher. Use filling a 50 gal barrel from THE BOTTOM. When the barrel is empty, there is no back pressure and it takes less pressure to fill it fast. As the barrel fills with water, the hydrostatic pressure (resistence to filling) gets bigger. It then takes more and more pressure (volts) to fill the tank. This is actually why it takes longer to get the last 20% of charge and the last 5% is muvh slower even. I educated people on solar batteries and they seems to understand very quickly. It is also the best anaology for batteries (Pressure=voltage, Amps=volume)
HAHA IAN I LOVE THIS!
Here's a simple solution... Create every Tesla that runs on radio frequency. It will convert the RF into electricity, thus making it self powered. It's already been done with helicopters and other vehicles...
1:48 is where the info starts
Urban Superchargers (the smaller ones) do not share. You are each limited to 72mw. Ok to park next to another car.
Ah interesting! I should've looked into this more. Thanks for this!
5:00 Tesla recommends that you charge your vehicle at home using level 1 or level 2 charging. Supercharging is only recommended for long road trips because regular supercharing is actually bad for your battery.
and u would be wrong sir.... super charging is not bad for your car. even if you supercharged everyday. Please don't state lies.
7:44 it's like that one guy at the urinal... Don't be that guy.
I like the video but you didn’t cover the Time what time is better to charge your Tesla when is cheaper?🤷♂️
How did I go from car supercharger whines to this
It's a sign! :D
I live in an apartment and obviously no EV charging support in here :/ so are you sure you can use superchargers every time you gotta charge? p.s. great vid!
I've been using superchargers as my primary charging solution for over a year now and it's been fine :)
@@JayWuOfficial alrighty then, coz I also have been using the supercharger closest to me but I always go with the fear of damaging my battery to an extent where I won't be able to drive my tesla anymore but I'm gonna get that outta the way now! thank you so much :)
You got it!! :D
I just bought a Tesla and had to Supercharge it right away since I had a long trip ahead. There was plenty of stalls open and my dumbarse charged next to someone. It didn't dawn on me until later that that probably wasn't a good idea. Ooops.
Am I the only one who clicked on this video because of the title about to put this dude on blast 😂. Super charge not supercharge 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
How much is a full recharge?
It varies to the local cost of electricity.
Supercharging does degrade the battery faster over time. You should watch bjorn he will educate you about batteries
Not disagreeing on that part but by the time you notice any significant changes I'm sure there will be a "fix" or something. I wouldn't worry about it too much
Jay Wu that’s like telling someone to go ahead and smoke, because by the time there are any affects, scientists and doctors will have a fix.
Yeah your comments on supercharging not hurting the battery were pretty cringy. They're just straight up not factual. There's some good info in this video, so I'm torn on downvoting it, but I wish you hadn't put that opinion forward. Also, it's not something that's fixable beyond a full battery replacement.
Note that occasional use of superchargers is going to be negligible, but consistently charging your car with one is going to cause range degradation.
Once a week? You must drive one mile per day. I rented a 3 and drove 39 mins and half the battery is gone.
6 minutes in and I still don't know how fast does it take to charge the car.
I like going to the supercharger.....Netflix time
A Tesla rep told me think of using a supercharger as a primary method as similar to if you drank Red Bull only for 2 years straight lmao
Not sure if that's the best analogy but I guess? haha
@@JayWuOfficial extremely confusing because then I spoke with a rep who said 1-2 times per week at a super charger shouldn’t do much noticeable harm past the normal 1% per year in degradation.
Well I stay in an apartment so I supercharger at least twice a week. I had to get rid of my gas car lol
You still did not get tint?
I never tried a supercharger yet...no one ever used my referral code....can you advertise my referral link one video??.my name is jay also
No tint yet -- perhaps soon though! I want to get a front lip and such first. And I would suggest posting your link on Facebook or another social media platform to get more exposure
I supercharge twice a day 😅
Do Tesla owners wave to each other? You know like bikers and classic landrover owners?
Haha I don't think so! I used to do that when I drove a Subaru
After road driving for hours, the first thing I look for is a BATHROOM. Dear Tesla please upgrade the superchargers to include bathrooms. Please
There are many self cleaning options, such as
ua-cam.com/video/Msxahf5iN1E/v-deo.html
I drive way more than u lol I super charge everyday sometimes twice. A day I use car for work and do about 5k miles a month
Why would tesla make super chargers if it would harm the battery? So you have to buy a new battery from them after its worn out. Econ 101.
If a Super Charger is not working, call the 1-800 number and then tie the cable in a knot. This tells the next person that this particular charger isn't working.
Good advice!
I want a tesla so bad lol.. tmw when you dont even have a drivers license tho..
Keep saving money since you're young! Then you can learn how to invest it, make more money, and then you can buy one :)
@@JayWuOfficial alright haha, gotta get those pesky student loans firs tho
@@jordanf.3400 I believe in you -- keep up the good work and it'll pay off!
“Why would Tesla continue to use these new superchargers if it will just harm the battery” you are joking right?
