So does j1772 and NACS, the car locks the charger onto it. But tesla uses NACS and when you need to use j1772 you use an adapter. That adapter has no locking mechanism
The standard NACS adapter also locks, it’s only when using the adapter that the charger doesn’t lock to the adapter, but the adapter itself does lock to the charge port.

@TospikKing Whatever point you're gonna make is gonna be stupid.

Hell a horse and buggy would be cleaner than a gas powered vehicle part from all the manure etc. However, there are drawbacks as well such as the battery and what we do with them. Generally they are recycled and reused or at least components are reused when you send off a dead cell much like we reuse or retread tires.
My only question about it, is how do you take it off? Do you wait for it to fully charge, and it detects it and deactivates, or do you have a specific key for it to unlock and for you to remove the charging cable?
The adapter is locked in the car when it's locked. When you unlock the car, it releases the adapter, you can unplug it from the car, then release the lock he calls "Karen Lock" once the adapter is out the car.

My international student friends said the same. The West must have been too protective of its citizens, that the citizens don't have the compassion they used to have for others. Within communist/developing countries, there's too much government corruption, so they know how to take care of each other. Even if there is general more petty crime, it is because they are actually unable to escape their poor circumstances (unable to get a middle-life style, even if they worked an entire month without sleeping)
@@AntTonyLOLKID No the problem with the west is that it allowed people from poor countries to "flee" here from their countries simple because they were poor in those countries. Which they then proceeded to be nothing but stains on their new countries, which led to resentment and a divide between people who were fed up and the communists that live in those countries.
@johns.8220 It was very very subtle… it was the part where he says that the reason they do it is because they are “insecure” That’s not a great explainer for their actions, but it’s about as good of an answer as one can presume without finding a Karen that is willing to actually give a proper answer “I hate EV’s” Why though? “Because” Because why? “Because I don’t like them” … *WHY NOT* … and even if you don’t like them, why does it matter? “Because I don’t” So can I unplug your phone from its charger if I don’t like the brand you have? “No, that’s ~my~ personal property; I’ll call the police on you!” How is that different from you unplugging ~MY~ personal property from its charger? “Because I don’t like EV’s” ♾️

I just don't understand how a multi billion dollar company didn't think "what if someone unplugs the car who ISNT the owner" when designing their vehicles.
Its probably because they have no diversity of thought, instead focusing on diversity of demographics or getting the cheapest labor possible. You see it a lot in tech companies that they outsource from only one or two places overseas, or only hire from select groups that think like their company culture. Really they should've expected it because putting stuff in people's gas tanks to f- with them has been a thing for so long, it was in an official Sabotage Manual issued by the US government for WWII. Why wouldn't someone mess with electric cars?
They DID think of that- on their Tesla stations. They can't be responsible for not thinking a competitor's station wouldn't have it's own protective measures, let alone that they'd purposely use a different connector on their cars meaning the Tesla lock wouldn't work.
They can only control how their pumps are designed, but not everyone uses the same plug style. When an adaptor is needed the adapter triggers the lock in the car’s charge port instead of the pump, so sadly the pump can be freely removed.
They did. You can not unplug a TESLA charger from a TESLA car, either at a supercharger or a slower "destination" (like a hotel so it can be slow) charger. Charge point is for other EVs, and needs a Tesla adaptor. The adaptor, as he shows in the video, can not be unplugged.
Realistically he's not wrong though. The vast majority of the time insecurity is the only reason anyone would ever fuck with someone else's car, no matter what it is.
There's no lock to pick. Only way to unlock the charge port is to break the rear window glass, then pull the emergency charge port release hidden behind the upholstery in the rear cargo area. At that point, you're no longer a Karen but a criminal.
@@seanplace8192 correct but now the karen solution is to trip over the charging lead and sue you for more than the value of your overpriced toy car. Which as you've removed the safety disconnect feature (it unplugging when pulled) your now exceptionally liable for. Never underestimate a Karens ability to screw you in a new and interesting way especially if your been a dumbass in helping them do it.
@@cgi2002 Two things. 1) No EV charging cable can be removed by pulling on it. You have to push the release button first. The Anti-Karen lock doesn't circumvent any safety measures. 2) If a Karen trips over a charging cable, they would be much more likely to sue the company that owns the charger than the car owner. (The company would have much more money)

This woman went to our boss and demanded that they give her cash for gas for her car cause it wasn't fair that I was getting free electricity to get to work and she wasn't getting free gas. The boss said they were not gonna give her gas money for her car that they're doing this because there's a company policy that they are going to support electric cars for the environment. So she just decided to start unplugging my car for her own satisfaction sense of fairness.
She got written up from malicious tampering of other employees personal property.
1. Do you think batteries are made in an environmentally friendly manner?
2. How is most electricity generated?
3. After two quick google searches, do you still think it's fair?
Her pollution is eaten by plants.
@@Lorgar64 Calm down Karen.
@@Lorgar64 Turn off Fox News. It's not that much better to drive electric at the moment, but it will be in the near future. Market efficiency takes time to become efficient.
The vindictive solution would be for her to buy a cheap EV and arrive to work before you every day so she can monopolize the charger.
@@Lorgar64settle down karen
So the title is more of a rhetorical question than an actual dive into why karens disconnect chargers?
The problem is how can you remove the plug if it still stuck
When you unlock the car it unlocks the plug adapter.
Kind of how ATM’s lock your card in with a metal hook and you can only remove it once done with the transaction.
Same with washing machine doors, they have a hook that shuts the door unless the cycle is paused of the washer is off.
People used to get punched in the face more. In some places, I really wouldn't recommend messing with other peoples cars even these days.
Unless u in america people mess anyone
My international student friends said the same. The West must have been too protective of its citizens, that the citizens don't have the compassion they used to have for others.
Within communist/developing countries, there's too much government corruption, so they know how to take care of each other. Even if there is general more petty crime, it is because they are actually unable to escape their poor circumstances (unable to get a middle-life style, even if they worked an entire month without sleeping)
I love you😂😂😂
@@AntTonyLOLKID No the problem with the west is that it allowed people from poor countries to "flee" here from their countries simple because they were poor in those countries. Which they then proceeded to be nothing but stains on their new countries, which led to resentment and a divide between people who were fed up and the communists that live in those countries.
Maybe if people got punched more they wouldn’t buy a Tesla😂

@johns.8220
It was very very subtle… it was the part where he says that the reason they do it is because they are “insecure”
That’s not a great explainer for their actions, but it’s about as good of an answer as one can presume without finding a Karen that is willing to actually give a proper answer
“I hate EV’s”
Why though?
“Because”
Because why?
“Because I don’t like them”
… *WHY NOT* … and even if you don’t like them, why does it matter?
“Because I don’t”
So can I unplug your phone from its charger if I don’t like the brand you have?
“No, that’s ~my~ personal property; I’ll call the police on you!”
How is that different from you unplugging ~MY~ personal property from its charger?
“Because I don’t like EV’s”

@@TheMulToyVerse I would have taken the "my parents used to yell at me for wasting electricity as a kid by not turning off electronic devices so I'm just helping the environment now" excuse.
It's not a good excuse but it is an excuse. Still a dick move.
@@Fickji"leaving electronic devices on" is only a waste if the device is not being used. A charger charging a car is in use for exactly what it was made to do, unless the battery is full. And if somebody unplugged my car because they knew it was fullly charged, I'd probably thank them.

Wait, your charger don't automatically lock both sides of the cable? Might just be a non-tesla thing, or a sweden thing, but you cant unplug the cable unless you unlock he car first here in sweden.
On Vegas at MGM, the charging area is not located within the paid paid area of the parking garage, so people with electric cars would park there and not even use the chargesrs! We needed the charger and had to go elsewhere at an inconvenience to charge our rented Tesla.

Was about to comment this
There's a whole group of people who don't realize Top Gear is equal parts being car crazy and making fun of car crazy people.
Like the joke everyone else is bringing up isn't "it's not funny to laugh at EV driver's, oh wait yes it is."
It's "look at us acting like a bunch of jackasses about EV's, like who would actually be this much of a jackass."
I especially like Richard Hammond, but all 3 of those guys are incredibly well educated and smart men. They aren't laughing at small minded "EV bad" jokes. They are probably far more aware of the pros and cons of EV's and ICE's than most people in this comment section. They are laughing at small minded people who laugh at "EV bad" jokes.
"Because she is insecure" the only valid reason of their behavior

Not valid. Not the only reason.

You mean cause she's nuts
@@theylivewesleep4570naw- if she's nuts, she's not responsible for her actions. If she's just insecure, that's totally on her.

“oh the adapter we built is junk? well buy this handy adapter to fix it”
I just don't understand how a multi billion dollar company didn't think "what if someone unplugs the car who ISNT the owner" when designing their vehicles.
I'm guessing they weren't expecting people to act like asses and mess with someone's ride 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏼♂️?
Its probably because they have no diversity of thought, instead focusing on diversity of demographics or getting the cheapest labor possible. You see it a lot in tech companies that they outsource from only one or two places overseas, or only hire from select groups that think like their company culture.
Really they should've expected it because putting stuff in people's gas tanks to f- with them has been a thing for so long, it was in an official Sabotage Manual issued by the US government for WWII. Why wouldn't someone mess with electric cars?
They DID think of that- on their Tesla stations. They can't be responsible for not thinking a competitor's station wouldn't have it's own protective measures, let alone that they'd purposely use a different connector on their cars meaning the Tesla lock wouldn't work.
They can only control how their pumps are designed, but not everyone uses the same plug style. When an adaptor is needed the adapter triggers the lock in the car’s charge port instead of the pump, so sadly the pump can be freely removed.
They did. You can not unplug a TESLA charger from a TESLA car, either at a supercharger or a slower "destination" (like a hotel so it can be slow) charger. Charge point is for other EVs, and needs a Tesla adaptor. The adaptor, as he shows in the video, can not be unplugged.
I love the part where he explains why people unplugs it instead of saying "They're insecure"
It's because they're assholes. That's the explanation
Well, he really doesn't have a way to know why they do it, since he's just the victim, right?
@mr.mortisman7942 thank you for identifying exactly why the video he’s made is clickbait
Realistically he's not wrong though. The vast majority of the time insecurity is the only reason anyone would ever fuck with someone else's car, no matter what it is.
yeah, if i heard it right he says "because she's insecure" when he should have said "because it's not secure"
If they can't unplug the Tesla, neither can you
Some cars have it to where it doesn't allow somebody to take it out. It locks on so long as the car is locked
You forgot the part where you explain why they unplug the charger
"Because she's insecure"
... I guess how so or in what way is unimportant... it is TH-cam, so specifics are optional.

"This is the lock picking lawyer"
There's no lock to pick. Only way to unlock the charge port is to break the rear window glass, then pull the emergency charge port release hidden behind the upholstery in the rear cargo area. At that point, you're no longer a Karen but a criminal.
@@seanplace8192 correct but now the karen solution is to trip over the charging lead and sue you for more than the value of your overpriced toy car. Which as you've removed the safety disconnect feature (it unplugging when pulled) your now exceptionally liable for.
Never underestimate a Karens ability to screw you in a new and interesting way especially if your been a dumbass in helping them do it.
@@seanplace8192 r/woosh
@@cgi2002 Two things.
1) No EV charging cable can be removed by pulling on it. You have to push the release button first. The Anti-Karen lock doesn't circumvent any safety measures.
2) If a Karen trips over a charging cable, they would be much more likely to sue the company that owns the charger than the car owner. (The company would have much more money)
