Tesla Magic Dock: Investigating the NACS to CCS Adapter!
I bought an EV6 but am now looking to buy a polestar3. Paid my deposit and waiting to do a test drive. Seem to me they make quality cars but as a startup they are still finding their way,
Good review. I had mine for just over two weeks and pleased I didn’t go for a poorly build Tesla
What tyres do you have fitted pease?
Canopies with solar panels.
Nice video man! Nice Polestar! (And yes, plenty of EV misinformation to go around)
biden spend 7 BILLION on 7 chargers ,, nasty
The basic and lite pack do not have the wireless charging facility. Nice for storage but………
How does the front radar and LED lights deal with the snow? Do they ice up?
Clickbait.
With the new Biden EPA final rule on automobile emissions, EVs will be the only viable option. Tesla is poised to take advantage of the upcoming forced switch from ICE. The Model Y is family friendly and the upcoming low cost sedan will be a great option for younger people.
Everyting went wrong,its a total shitshow!
Tesla stock will go into the low 100s. It has nothing to stand on right now other than a pipe dream of an auto taxi service that can't happen without FSD. So, the stock is simply riding on the word of a man who talks out of his ass all the time. The cyber truck by any business standard is a failure. China will eventually break into the US market with its EVs which will obliterate TESLA in price, and in quality. TESLA has a lot of work to do if they want to remain relevant. Their robots are inferior to OpenAI, and Boston Dynamics. Their AI is inferior as well. Their data they have for full self-driving won't even be valuable once AGI is more prevalent. Is it the end for TESLA, not yet, but if they don't do something innovative soon, yeah it will be.
What channel did this used to be because I know damn well I didn’t subscribe to you
Guidance was very good. Plans for short, medium, and long term. (Randy Kirk & Jeff Lutz) Market up. CyberTruck is a technology demonstrator vehicle. They stuffed if full of tech they want to use in high volume production vehicles on down the road. Initial expectations were not for high volumes. Need to see what the take rate is on reservations after they stop making Foundations series trucks in 2025. The human brain is wired to like what we are used to seeing. It is easy/comfortable. That does not mean what we are used to seeing is better. It means we are used to it. If we were used to angular vehicles CyberTruck would be another truck. What we like is highly subjective. Tesla bought a lot of NVIDA units for training. Yes they need data. I expect Tesla to start with drivers in the Robo Taxi until they get to where drivers are redundant. Expect regulators to require them.
Elon lies all the time,so is irrelevant what he says!
My Volvo car app got an update for charging that I suspect is groundwork for the SC access upcoming, but no word yet. Thx for the vid. I enjoyed watching.
Tritium going insolvent this week is a big deal. They have contracts for equipment that will be hard pressed to deliver on. The chargers in the ground already are garbage (see West Coast Electric Highway run by EVCS). I can’t believe EVCS won millions in contracts to build more stations.
Here’s my guess on supercharger access as a Bolt EUV owner: GM is probably going with a third party adapter, either A2z or Lectron. They aren’t going to sell them until the UL certification process is complete. So it’s out of the automakers hands for now
Agreed. Tesla’s adapter vendor is not particularly fast at ramping production to get these things out the door. We’ll need to see the 3pty adapters get certified. Lectron had QC problems with theirs. My money is on Volvo/Polestar having access before GM.
The anti Tesla crowd is BBQing Tesla for many of the very problems that exists over at legacy, Legacy knows it is easier to keep people in the dark than get called out for being late as every reason will be seen as an excuse.
I’ve set up my iPhone as a key for my polestar 2 and it’s all working well so far. I’m just too scared of going far though just in case it doesn’t work 😅😅😅
And who pays you for this?
We have leased one and should get it mid june. We have a Volvo C40 leased. Also a great car, but Polestar drives better and have much better range.
Can you let us know later what the differences on 2025 Rivian model coming in Fall vs 2024?
Mine is arriving on 11th of April can’t wait
Thank you for the review of this new Polestar 2. 😊 I really like the design. 🚗 The car has a very nice look. 💫 I particularly love the front and rear laser-type lights. I look forward to trying it out, and if I fall in love with it, let's go, I'll sign! 💙
I like that P3 has improved cupholders, and a flat rear floor
Improved cupholders. Do you have a drinking problem😂
@michaelcolind5082 Ha! No ... Not really. Have you seen the cupholders in the P2? Having to drive around with the center armrest open, like a pez dispenser, is just annoyingly stupid
@@rugermate And so what. Is that you excuse not to buy an EV😂
@michaelcolind5082 My initial comment eluded to the fact that the P3 cup holders were designed side by side. As they should be, intuitively. It's odd and makes no sense to have a hidden flip-top cup holder design. Clearly, for the P3, they looked at the old P2 design and changed that aspect. It's progress. And I liked that. That's all. C'mon man!
I bought a 2024 Polestar 2 because of you. You convinced me ! 👍
Great video….especially with your kitty joining you!
promo sm ✌️
Thanks for posting this!
China will never take over the eve market yeah right?
Why spend so much money on a hyped up Truck.Unefficent also.I would go for Polestar3 or Polestar4.The Polestar3 is awsome.Ive test ride it Torque vectoring etc..SUV & Sports car in one vehicle.
You shouldn't waste your time and money!!
Marcus was not a fan.
I give it 5 years before there’s a convergence of really compelling EVs at affordable prices plus very good charging infrastructure that will be impossible to overcome. America may put up trade barriers to keep Chinese EVs out but it’s a speed bump at most. If American politicians actively work to punitively inhibit EV adoption, then Detroit automakers will become increasingly irrelevant and the Chinese will simply take over the global entry level auto market.
No date is the best date. Ask Elon and Tesla.
Ford abandoning CCS for NACS was such a pivotal moment in the EV transition. I'm really looking forward to getting my NACS adapter. If IONNA is gonna be as amazing as their 30,000 DCFCs in 6 years would imply, then we're in for a helluva jump in EV sales.
The next few years will be really exciting. All manufacturers settling on NACS will pay off in a big way over the next few years.
Farley...a true leader. And thanks to Elon for having the wisdom to say yes. Two men making a world of difference in the transition.
Great to see two CEOs of huge companies actually do the right thing. If only that happened more often.
The trouble with Polestar in Oz that it has competition of BYD. Entry level luxury car for both brands are nice. Polestar2 $75kAUD Seal $50kAUD Re level 2 charging - yes we could do of more of these. Alot less to setup so should be able to get cheaper charging compared to DC. I still have to wait thou for anything to get shipped in. One month (day, year, fortnight) I'll be ok.
Does it have a snow mode ?
No, there are no modes in Polestar. I kind of like that though. The car handles the situation.
@@EVAwesome-yj2umwas this test with snow tyres?
Lots of focus on the "charging network", but the EV curious should know that the bulk of charging should be done at home. Condo/apartment dwellers without that option are probably not a good fit, and public DC charging rates may already be exceeding the cost of gas. This is about longer trips, and even for EVs that fast charge as slow as my Bolt, a welcome thing. Tesla has built out the network and kept it running. But now they need to make it pay. As for Chinese options, how would you have felt about your cheap Lada when Putin rolled into Ukraine? Xi seems to covet Taiwan at least as much. Customer support may survive sanctions, but will you be proud to be seen in one? See Yugo.
The new Charger looks sick! It’ll be cool seeing this in both gas and electric powertrain configurations. People will be able to cross shop and compare them directly with each other. When the Hellcat and Demon versions with 800v get unleashed, we’ll see some crazy numbers.
Ev's aren't up to the sports car standard. No manual interaction, heavy, and lack of in most cases any personality.
EV personality is just brute force. Suits Dodge just fine. There’s a reason EVs are getting banned from races. Sucks spending so much time and money on a gas car setup only for some EV at the hands of a newb to show up and smoke everybody.
Have you ever tracked a Tesla M3 or MS? They are different than ICE, but super-fun. I guess it depends on the person driving. Everyone should have a choice.
I can't afford the AWD Seal that does zts 3.8s (about U$47k) but i can afford the BYD Dynamic Seal (zts 7.5s) about U$34k. I'm also putting solar panels on my roof about $6k to produce about 15MWh per year (about 6 weeks till installation). How much would those Dodge be? EV EV baby. Vanilla EV baby. PS the sweet spot for me would be the Premium Seal (zts 5.9s with range of 330 miles). It's about $40k but I'd need a job pdq.
Glad to see you are enthused about the charger. I sincerely hope that Dodge/Stallantis put their A team to work on this car. The CG is naturally low so with a good suspension it could be a great handling car. My fear is that we will get another effort like the mustang mach e.
It seems like the Dodge folks don't want a Mach-E to happen to them. They really leaned hard on the muscle car aspect in their reveal, and their CEO is a car guy, so hopefully they will deliver something special.
Apple won't buy any car company because vehicle manufacturing won't produce the desired margins. Titan failed because they realized autonomous driving is far more difficult than initially realized. Wheels, batteries, fabricating panels, electric motors, paint jobs...all too commoditized for their liking. Fisker...dead man walking. Nice design but terrible reviews. $400 million reportedly from Nissan will be a breath of fresh air, but just a breath.
Agreed. Apple doesn't like low margins.
Thx for trying. I have two EVs. The GM will get the adapter first and I was wondering what they were going to do to keep me from using my GM adapter with my other car, or other people from just going onto the Ford parts site and getting them one to use. Now we know. Thx for the video. I enjoyed watching.
My Mach-E downloaded a certificate via OTA update which enabled Supercharging. Now the problem is that I’ve got no adapter. One C2C podcast topic for the next show would be how these official adapters will be allocated. If Ford has first dibs, how can Rivian and GM owners get them ahead of Ford owners who have ETA dates as late as October for official adapters?
Hey Ted! Fords have been getting software updates to enable charging on Superchargers. I bet Volvo and Polestar aren’t far behind. Once your Polestar 2 gets an Tesla-specific update, that’ll be the real test to see if the A2Z adapter works. Alternatively, find a friend with a Lightning or Mach-E who got the software update and visit the Supercharger with your adapter.
I was hoping to get a friend to test it out on her F150, but it poured rain the day we were going to meet up. I have seen Mach-E Vlog test it out, and it worked fine on their Mach-E.
@@EVAwesome-yj2um someone said that the Tesla Terms & Conditions officially prohibit the use of 3pty adapters. I don’t know if there’s any sort of adapter authentication going on. Instead, I think the adapter is a straight passthru and we all need to rely on its quality to ensure nothing goes sideways. Could be interesting times at Superchargers ahead!
Tesla confirmed that GM, Volvo/Polestar, and Rivian are next and will have access this spring. But until then, No. Tesla is an energy company first, and technology second, (vehicles are actually third) so they're not going to be fooled.
How is it "fooling"? They wanna sell (really expensive) electricity and I wanna buy some. Just like a gas station.
Your non Tesla J3400 adapter has been officially prohibited by Tesla. Wait for the official Polestar device.
It sounded like the BOD OKed putting the design into production. It might require rengineering the car to get the upgrades the CT has. Could be they still have the cold gas thrusters to work on. If it gets steer by wire it should be getting 48V. Just have to see.
