Since we bought a Tesla vehicle and a little stock in the company, it is really inspiring to see that we picked a true winner for the health of Earth as well as our own long-term prosperity. Great information, Lars! Peace
Exactly. And we can already guess how the critics of today's Tesla plans will look in the future. They will never learn, they will just go away and forget about Tesla when they see how they failed
Excellent Lars. Thank you. Even a child can understand both the information and your logic. That is a Supreme quality. Children are open as they are still "in formation". An enjoyable presentation attracts children. Bravo mon frère!
My son pointed out an interesting fact about Tesla charging, in fact about all EV charging stations. They only tell you how many charging stations are in use but they don’t tell you how many cars are in the Queue. So when you get to that charging station there are a line of cars in front of you. Maybe Tesla can do something to help address this issue by adding that to their app to keep people from going to these stations when they are really busy especially after they start opening up to other non Tesla vehicles. Again I stress that cameras should be installed at Tesla’s charging stations not only for safety to help protect people who have to charge late at night, but add that capability to the Tesla app so that people can actually see how many cars are in the queue.
My Tesla M3 has supercharged 5 times in the last week during 2 road trips. Every time I pulled into the charging station, it took me 2 seconds to plug in the car, go for a comfort break and then got back on the road in about 20 minutes. Easy Peasy.
Another great video! I like how you not only cover charging stations but also cover the use of them as production and storage power stations that can make money without charging cars. I look forward to Tesla adding solar and mega packs at most of their charging stations. I seldom see either at the stations I visit. Now with every trip I make in the central US (about every 3 months), I see new Tesla Supercharger stations that add flexibility to my route and trip.
My model 3 charges at about 6 cents per kwh at home. At charging stations maybe as much as 42 cents per kwh even at that price still 1/2 as much as gasoline. Awesome!
@@yehimstone5492 If Elon told you he was going to put an EV in every house hold, send people to the moon and make household robots .. you reply would be ‘ an educated comment . I think you are obtuse . Wake the f up
This was a great video and very informative. I watch almost all your videos and do like your content. Keep up the great work and am looking forward to seeing all your up comming videos. Thank you.
Brilliant! Thank you for this. I’m working on breaking down the whole energy side of Tesla as it starts ramping and will be focusing on charging stations also. This was a big help with info. Thank you.
Great video Lars. Another example of why owning Tesla is like owning a mutual fund that has five of the best businesses available to invest in today. 👍
Hi Lars, I want to leave a positive counterpoint for EA charging stations. I drove 500 miles from San Francisco to San Diego for the Fully Charged convention (nice to see you there). I charged almost exclusively at EA without any problems. The closest thing to a problem was that somebody had vandalized the screen at the first charging stop, making it unreadable. Fortunately, EA was providing free charging on my travel days and it was no hassle to charge up my Niro EV even without seeing the screen.
@14:44 *EA* and *Ionity* are actually at a severe disadvantage because they build _only_ chargers. *Tesla* makes very profitable *EVs* and the *SuperCharger* network is part of the _servicing_ cost, but instead of _breakables and powertrain repair_ they provide *_charging._* *_Charging_* infrastructure remains long after _breakables and powertrain repair_ have driven out of the _stealership_ on their way to the next accident or gas/petrol station.
The Tesla charging stations are also solar farms and part of the Tesla VPP. Tesla will build as many 'charging stations' as they can because these stations are generating income and advancing Tesla's primary mission: accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.
I would like to add that in some countries it was discussed before whether to make it mandatory to open the charger networks to everybody. So Tesla (partly) avoided discussions by simply opening them now.
Superchargers add a lot of real estate value to adjacent land and businesses, too. The fact that superchargers will one day become robotaxi hubs is also huge.
I’m happy Tesla’s Superchargers are working well. We Purchased our Tesla Model X in 2017 WITH THE SALES PITCH OG FREE SUPERCHARGING FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. We live on Maui Hawaii and at the time the Tesla website said Maui would have a Supercharger in 2018. It’s 2022 AND STILL NO TESLA SUPERCHARGER ON MAUI and no date for adding one. So, five years and NO TESLA SUPERCHARGER STALL WORKING, Come one Tesla, where is the Maui Supercharger?
Agreed Tesla is in a league by it self. I travel in my Tesla I never worry. I travel... well drive around town in my VW I do worry I absolutely do not take the VW on road trips. Why? because I can't depend on the CCS network. Arrive to two stations ridiculous. Competing with all other EV's including plug in hybrids oh my that hurt's a hybrid using precious limited charging stations. Cheers from Northern California!!!
TESLA could push into Europe re Windpower. Time is right now. The Alps offer so many super wind power spots, Europe could be powered many times from there. Wind conditions are far better than any off shore project.
BESTinTesla - I think TESLA should focus on BASIC amenity at large Superchargers, like Restroom , Drink Vending , lounge . but Dont waste time with a Coffee bar or Video Games (SWITCH) , as in America sadly the site will Vandalized and the Switch & Goods STOLEN. you can have HOT & cold food Vending and Dry snack vending.
Yes, it is lawless in America. Our cops only shoot unarmed women and children. They do not do the job they are paid for. American police need defunded. They don't deserve to be paid.
Lars, serious question, what's the EV equivalent of a 20L gerry can? There are many places here where ICE vehicles need to carry fuel in gerry cans because ICE don't have enough range between fuel stations, so as EV's have a shorter range we would need to carry some sort of portable fast charger that can recharge the EV, It would need to be about the same size and weight as a full gerry can and able to give ~20KW.
Lars, your use of the Texas data to get the cost of Superchargers is logically wrong. Tesla asked for $30k subsidy per station. We really don't know what their costs are. They may have wanted to get more stations subsidized by asking for less per station. Maybe they had already locked in low- or no-cost sites. No doubt, Tesla is more efficient, but not by a factor of 5 or more for what is basically normal electrical and computer control gear.
Legacy Little Red Hen automakers like, I don't want to help plant the garden - flash forward -Who wants to eat the bread? First they ignored Tesla. Then they ridiculed Tesla. Then they fought Tesla. Then they copied Tesla. Then Tesla won.
Funny how New Zealand has embraced EV's with over 130 Tesla Destination chargers compaired to Australia's 40. (20 more coming) Big Oil hard at work Downunder!
Your forgetting to mention how bad the auto high beam works in the newly introduced "Vision" mode when activating self steer mode & same for autowipers which seems to be impossible to fix as both systems heavily rely on camera usage instead of appropriate sensors. If Tesla cant get this right, FSD is never ever going to happend. I have dropped the idea of using selfsteer when its dark, which = approx 180 of 200 Km daily driving when we change to wintertime. Unbelievable bad move & incredible a manufacturer can introduce such software that annoys 90% of the cars you meet.
supercharging is an expensive service for roadtrips. charging at home is still far cheaper than burning diesel. Anyone who tells you diesel is cheaper is (a) lying or (b) believing fossil fuel company lies.
Tesla is really ahead. But it's still have possible improvement. For example travel planification is not really good. Sometimes it propose really strange road who take longer...
My two cents is that as far as ss production is concerned, it's a drop in the bucket -- but I'm just guessing. Don't really care enough to find the stats, but if you do it would be an easy matter to actually figure it out. I think Tesla will never be able to fulfill the CT orders rapidly enough for it to really matter, with the Indonesia and New Calidonia supplies in the works for batteries, may only fluctuate because of other market factors that the ss industry itself has nationally and internationally. I wonder if CT will ever be made anywhere outside of Texas.
@@SkyRiver1 the 2021 numbers showed nearly 50% of all sales used lfp pack's actually. With catl releasing more advanced quilin and lmfp cells rumored to be going in teslas from China and Germany starting in q4. It'll only increase in other countries imo. The U.S. though to earn the credits is likely to use tesla built Panasonic cells and 4680s mostly. Maybe the gotion battery factory being built in Cali will supply them with U.S. sourced lfp cells next year? 🤔
I was thinking about the Apple/ Tesla comparisons and their comparative business models. Other than the fact both have a minimal product range and a product/service ecosystem I don't really think they're really that similar at all? Apple has about 900 million Iphone users Tesla has sold about 2 million units thus far. So even though Tesla has an onboard ecosystem which can upsell apps and games etc there is really no comparison or at least not for a long long time? In fact considering what both companies do technologically it's surprising that Tesla far exceeds Apple as far as vertical integration is concerned. It's not unfair to say that Apple does key research and development but almost all its manufacturing and fabrication is done by 3rd Parties. Whereas Tesla is almost manic in its quest to vertically integrate every aspect of manufacturing, fabrication, research, development and production in house. Now one thing many analysts seem to miss regarding Tesla and Apple is how much Tesla needs to be able to sell to match Apples gross sales. Now on the face of it you would think Apple is in an unassailable position gross revenues of 387 billion and a net profit of 94 billion is a massive result well up on 2020. But Tesla surprisingly is no slouch either with a gross revenue of 54 billion and a net income of 5.4 billion now I wonder how long will it take Tesla to reach say 540 billion or 10 x their current gross revenue? If we were to divide that by the number of cars manufactured and sold maybe 10-12 million? So if Tesla were to meet the expectations of Elon and reach a run rate of 20 million cars by 2030. Tesla will be one of the biggest companies in the world based on Gross Revenue. And if their margin continues to improve their current net profit of 10% could be as high as 15-20%? Either way whether Tesla is making a net profit of 50 billion or a 100 Billion the next 5-10 years are going to be extremely interesting for all Tesla Investors.
This time what went on in Vegas will not stay in Vegas!! I met both Britney Spears and Elon Musk in 2000 at Bellagio. Britney just stared at me as she was singing on stage and I was standing in an archway above and nearby. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be standing up there by myself but I did have her undivided attention. A few days later Elon came up to me and started asking me questions about what I was doing there, in Las Vegas and Hawaii during that time. If I would I be fine answering a few questions. And if I was a gambling man? I stated, "I was on vacation and I only like to bet on things that are worth betting on!" I had earned these trips by qualifying reward points at my work. He asked, "What kind of work is it that you do?" I said, "Commercial energy saving promotions but I had been schooled in Automotive Marketing Business Administration and worked in that field for several years as well." He asked me, "If I had millions of dollars to spend what would be the most innovative businesses that could help humanity?" We talked about electric cars, we talked about solar energy and so many other subjects for over an hour. Even commercial space exploration for the consideration of colonization. That way all of humanity's eggs are not in one basket in case of another world war, asteroid strike, major climate change, etc. These we're very expensive and ambitious businesses to become successful at. Therefore we had to talk about ways of keeping a low overhead in advertising, distribution and the manufacturing. He said, "They were all very good ideas and that they should be done!" He said he had already made hundreds of millions off of a couple internet companies he started. "One of them was PayPal," he stated. Not that I had really done a lot of online banking or e-transfers at that time I didn't think much of it, until I noticed online about a year later that I could buy something off the computer with my PayPal card! Unfortunately I had just received a promotion as regional manager with the company I was working with. This made me let Elon know that I had to wait for a few years before I could assist further. I keep on sending out messages, hoping that he will get one and reply back. I will probably have to keep on trying, he gets more messages in a day then I would in five years! It is very inspiring to me to have a conversation with someone and they dedicate the next 20 years to making our conversation reality! We also talked about becoming your own best supplier and starting businesses that help your existing business. A type of slingshot effect that he has incorporated very well. It is so ambitious and amazing that he was willing to put pretty much all of his money where his mouth is and just make it happen with a consistent dedication. Congratulations Elon and I am looking forward to working with you again, one day in the near future! I still come up with innovative business ideas on a daily basis. Of course Britney I always wish her well and would enjoy meeting her again as well. We will shoot for the Moon then Mars and then we will end up amongst the Stars! If you would like to learn more of these topics let me know. People with integrity expect to be believed otherwise they let time prove them right! propower101@hotmail.com
Are you not forgetting Nio is coming to the usa and is planning on building its swapping stations and will make charging and a super stations a thing of the past .
The nice thing about the swappable battery pack is you never have to worry the heart of the car will ever fail , the cost of the battery being leased if choosing that option it reduces the car price great , also the car they have now will do over 1000km and are not effected by temperatures. The owner of Nio is a carbon copy of Elon. Their cars actually have more tech then tesla and already have a great line up .
I don't think so. Supercharging gets faster every year, if it was stuck where it is I think Tesla would have adopted swap technology but it is just not necessary and gets less competitive as charging improves. Battery swap doesn't scale like Supercharging does.
@@garethrobinson2275 the swapping stations do a swap in under 10 minutes at the most , and are pre-built in a factory and are dropped of in locations from the last presser at nio days the have 60,000 pre-built stations built and ready to be shipped , nor I have only driven the suv they make and have owned a s in the past , the suv did over a 1000km in the winter there and the ai system is just as good if not better then my s. But 10 minutes is stupid fast if a battery ever gets that way expect a super hot connection even now they get hot
Once Tesla is truly printing money & batteries aren't a problem, I'd imagine most Supercharging stations will have a mega pack or 2 backed by solar & boom! Tesla electricity grid baby...
Billy, if they are still somewhat battery constrained then they can’t make one just yet in my opinion. With FSD being $15k now what would the participation rate be on the$25k vehicle?
The Tesla charging network is a major selling point for Tesla cars. I fully expect Tesla to charge ‘non Tesla’ car owners extra for the privilege of using their charger network.
TESLA becoming bigger might sound nice for Tesla fans. But i they would loose all competition..this would be a monopoly and without competition there will be no pressure to make Tesla better.
Tesla in way have a monopoly now - but it has not stopped them innovating and moving forward. Elon's motivation has transferred to those running the various operations, so I do not foresee a problem. Elon's forward thinking goes beyond his lifetime, and with committed teams, his dream will live on into the next millennium.
I think that Elon isn’t happy with subpar engineering and they are already above everyone else but he still wants to optimize the manufacturing even further. Tesla’s manufacturing is what they will be known for according to Elon.
Tesla will always strive to get better faster than anyone else because that is what they do, look at SpaceX rockets & Tesla insurance & every else that they do.
Transport Evolved does not deserve viewers. They do not like counter arguments or disagreements. If you are not in total agreement with them, they will threaten and block you.
Dreaming big change is not coming is just the first step in any game. Now many Ice VM have to speed up going uphill and start sweating . Watch when the first one will throw the towel. Tesla EV charging stations will become profitable marketing. No escape in going down - wonder how many still do not see it.
Since we bought a Tesla vehicle and a little stock in the company, it is really inspiring to see that we picked a true winner for the health of Earth as well as our own long-term prosperity. Great information, Lars! Peace
Remember when Tesla was criticized by Wall St. for investing in charging network? (but of course the criticized everything Elon and Tesla)
Yes. Tesla is going bankrupt! Burning cash!
Pepperidge farm remembers….
Exactly. And we can already guess how the critics of today's Tesla plans will look in the future. They will never learn, they will just go away and forget about Tesla when they see how they failed
Thats why one (Elon) is an entrepreneur and the critics are just what they are.

If we were to divide that by the number of cars manufactured and sold maybe 10-12 million? So if Tesla were to meet the expectations of Elon and reach a run rate of 20 million cars by 2030. Tesla will be one of the biggest companies in the world based on Gross Revenue. And if their margin continues to improve their current net profit of 10% could be as high as 15-20%?
Either way whether Tesla is making a net profit of 50 billion or a 100 Billion the next 5-10 years are going to be extremely interesting for all Tesla Investors.
This time what went on in Vegas will not stay in Vegas!!
I met both Britney Spears and Elon Musk in 2000 at Bellagio. Britney just stared at me as she was singing on stage and I was standing in an archway above and nearby. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be standing up there by myself but I did have her undivided attention. A few days later Elon came up to me and started asking me questions about what I was doing there, in Las Vegas and Hawaii during that time. If I would I be fine answering a few questions. And if I was a gambling man? I stated, "I was on vacation and I only like to bet on things that are worth betting on!" I had earned these trips by qualifying reward points at my work. He asked, "What kind of work is it that you do?" I said, "Commercial energy saving promotions but I had been schooled in Automotive Marketing Business Administration and worked in that field for several years as well." He asked me, "If I had millions of dollars to spend what would be the most innovative businesses that could help humanity?" We talked about electric cars, we talked about solar energy and so many other subjects for over an hour. Even commercial space exploration for the consideration of colonization. That way all of humanity's eggs are not in one basket in case of another world war, asteroid strike, major climate change, etc. These we're very expensive and ambitious businesses to become successful at. Therefore we had to talk about ways of keeping a low overhead in advertising, distribution and the manufacturing. He said, "They were all very good ideas and that they should be done!" He said he had already made hundreds of millions off of a couple internet companies he started. "One of them was PayPal," he stated. Not that I had really done a lot of online banking or e-transfers at that time I didn't think much of it, until I noticed online about a year later that I could buy something off the computer with my PayPal card! Unfortunately I had just received a promotion as regional manager with the company I was working with. This made me let Elon know that I had to wait for a few years before I could assist further. I keep on sending out messages, hoping that he will get one and reply back. I will probably have to keep on trying, he gets more messages in a day then I would in five years! It is very inspiring to me to have a conversation with someone and they dedicate the next 20 years to making our conversation reality! We also talked about becoming your own best supplier and starting businesses that help your existing business. A type of slingshot effect that he has incorporated very well. It is so ambitious and amazing that he was willing to put pretty much all of his money where his mouth is and just make it happen with a consistent dedication. Congratulations Elon and I am looking forward to working with you again, one day in the near future! I still come up with innovative business ideas on a daily basis. Of course Britney I always wish her well and would enjoy meeting her again as well. We will shoot for the Moon then Mars and then we will end up amongst the Stars! If you would like to learn more of these topics let me know. People with integrity expect to be believed otherwise they let time prove them right!

This was a fine because of diesel so take them back to court and make them improve there chargers or they will be fined big time!!!!
👍👍 Thanks for watching
Let's talk now 🔝🔝
how much is the Tesla charging network worth.....so undervalues
Good
So how much does it cost to charge a EV?
sorry my Tesla comes next week, but in Germany the charging price is 70 ct ....its to expansiv! this is not the ride way.... to change the ice-cars
Lars, I miss your Slap. That’s your trademark. What’s a slap nation without the slap?
TeslaApp ;)
I'm pleased. glorifying violence is crap
Are you not forgetting Nio is coming to the usa and is planning on building its swapping stations and will make charging and a super stations a thing of the past .
The nice thing about the swappable battery pack is you never have to worry the heart of the car will ever fail , the cost of the battery being leased if choosing that option it reduces the car price great , also the car they have now will do over 1000km and are not effected by temperatures. The owner of Nio is a carbon copy of Elon. Their cars actually have more tech then tesla and already have a great line up .
I don't think so. Supercharging gets faster every year, if it was stuck where it is I think Tesla would have adopted swap technology but it is just not necessary and gets less competitive as charging improves. Battery swap doesn't scale like Supercharging does.
Nio who ????
@@garethrobinson2275 the swapping stations do a swap in under 10 minutes at the most , and are pre-built in a factory and are dropped of in locations from the last presser at nio days the have 60,000 pre-built stations built and ready to be shipped , nor I have only driven the suv they make and have owned a s in the past , the suv did over a 1000km in the winter there and the ai system is just as good if not better then my s. But 10 minutes is stupid fast if a battery ever gets that way expect a super hot connection even now they get hot
lars, lars, lars. kkkkkkkkk brilliant. love it. give me more like this.
Once Tesla is truly printing money & batteries aren't a problem, I'd imagine most Supercharging stations will have a mega pack or 2 backed by solar & boom! Tesla electricity grid baby...
This is all good news but where is there $25k vehicle? Thats about the only thing that would really make them the overall leader in EV’s.
does Apple make $200 phone? why should Tesla making $25k model? GM and others already has EV under $25K.
@@SLee-vj4px They should make a $25k model since that is what Musk promised at the Tesla meet.
Billy, if they are still somewhat battery constrained then they can’t make one just yet in my opinion. With FSD being $15k now what would the participation rate be on the$25k vehicle?
Get some more money
EA is a Joke right now all we can do is hope they'll fix their problems.
The Tesla charging network is a major selling point for Tesla cars. I fully expect Tesla to charge ‘non Tesla’ car owners extra for the privilege of using their charger network.
TESLA becoming bigger might sound nice for Tesla fans. But i they would loose all competition..this would be a monopoly and without competition there will be no pressure to make Tesla better.
Tesla in way have a monopoly now - but it has not stopped them innovating and moving forward. Elon's motivation has transferred to those running the various operations, so I do not foresee a problem. Elon's forward thinking goes beyond his lifetime, and with committed teams, his dream will live on into the next millennium.
I think that Elon isn’t happy with subpar engineering and they are already above everyone else but he still wants to optimize the manufacturing even further. Tesla’s manufacturing is what they will be known for according to Elon.
@@Frank_W. 2022 and traffic signs still not recoginized most of the time in my new Model Y is supbar in my oppinion!
Tesla will always strive to get better faster than anyone else because that is what they do, look at SpaceX rockets & Tesla insurance & every else that they do.
@@terencehonda Yes, it’s 2022 and if it was easy then someone else would have done it already. AI is still growing and is getting better all the time.
Can I get "Teslap" on the backside of boxer shorts? A gift for my GF😆
Transport Evolved does not deserve viewers. They do not like counter arguments or disagreements. If you are not in total agreement with them, they will threaten and block you.
👍👍 Thanks for watching
Let's talk now 🔝🔝
What’s wrong with the timestamps 🤔
✍️☝️☝️✍️☝️☝️✍️
Tesla will outcompete legacy auto, gas stations, and energy plants
✍️☝️☝️✍️☝️☝️✍️.
maybe they should try milk , of yoghurt ?? LOL
Dreaming big change is not coming is just the first step in any game. Now many Ice VM have to speed up going uphill and start sweating .
Watch when the first one will throw the towel.
Tesla EV charging stations will become profitable marketing.
No escape in going down - wonder how many still do not see it.
