Well, not much right now. But when I get my Model Y and travel, the faster charging rate will definitely make a difference. If you can save 10 minutes on charging while travelling, that's a win. For those with older battery packs and 400v charging, no benefit. Although an Electrify America support person told me that if I use a 350kW charger, it will give me 11 miles per minute instead of 9 miles per minute I get using a 150kW charger due to the higher voltage being pushed. Not much, but when travelling, every mile counts

 

That's the point; I do not think the Model Y, or any current Tesla passenger vehicle, will benefit. Only the Cybertruk and SEMI can accomodate the V4 Superchargers.

 

Oh I see what you are saying. They will be running Megawatt charging, but you have to look to the future. That's where the benefit lies, and that's why Tesla is ahead, they think 10 years ahead of everyone else

 

All this talk about different charging infrastructure is confusing. To figure out what supports which type and how fast it'll charge, etc I don't think I could ever get on board. It's just so much faster and easier to pull into a gas station for a few minutes and be done.

 

^ 100% agree. BEVs and charging are so confusing. If I were you I'd just avoid these threads and be done

 

It's not confusing at all. There are two types of charging stations that exist....one for Teslas, and one type for non Tesla's. If you don't own a Tesla, you go to any of the thousands of non Tesla charging stations or you charge at home. If you own a Tesla, you go to a Tesla charging station or charge at home. What's the confusion? I'm not confused, nor are the millions of Tesla owners. Are any of you Tesla owners reading this thread confused?

 

How does one know what a V1 or V2 or V3 and now V4 Tesla is? And what are the implications of patronizing one or the other?

 

Or to a non-Tesla charging station?

 

Non Tesla owner confused and dismayed about owning a Tesla.

 

Yes, presently a Tesla can charge at a non Tesla charging station with an adapter. And hopefully soon they will open their network to other EV'S

 

I find that very interesting that someone who has no skin in the game is more concerned about EV ownership (Tesla or non Tesla) than we the actual owners are. I'm glad they care though

 

If you guys don’t want to help educate non owners we can just close the thread…. Be better

 

So there are:

destination chargers and superchargers. I didn’t know this.







‘At some point. There needs to be one fit standard for all makes and models

 

I would be happy to answer any other questions if any members have more, or if I didn't answer properly, my apologies

 

Non Tesla models can charge at Tesla stations too. But only some of them.

Tesla opening Superchargers to rivals leaves some owners worried about waiting in line behind Fords and Kias
