I take my Porsche Taycan EV from Nottingham to London then back up to Harrogate using ONLY Tesla Superchargers to see what it’s like to charge a non Tesla Electric Car on the Tesla Supercharger network. Is it cheaper? Is it faster than the normal charging Infrastructure? Plus I speak to Tesla owners to see what they think of non Tesla Drivers charging on their network.

    I think you’re find I think you’re find you should have got a Tesla I think you bought the wrong car should have got a Tesla why when I can just use your network hey that’s all I’m going to do and they’ll open they’ll open lots more of their Tesla Network up to non- Tesla cars like mine cuz they’re struggling you’ve seen it on the news laying off people so you’re going to find when you get to your Tesla charge Point pora taans and pole stars there blocking you charging anyway in today’s video we’re going to take my Porsche tyan down to London and drive all the way back up uh through Luton Northampton then back here at annesley and then up to Harriet using nothing but the Tesla charging Network blocking it for Tesla owners should have got a Tesla we know what Tesla owners are like don’t we they like to smear themselves in Bal and peanut butter and get their dogs to lick it off that’s what a Tesla owner is like because they’ve got no taste cuz look at their cars they look horrible they look like a cockroach or a suppository anyway going to charge up here first and we’re going to head down to London to Tottenham before we do the long journey up to Harriet and we’re going to see what the Tesla charging network is like in a non Tesla car in something that actually looks quite nice and doesn’t look like it’s been drawn by a child if you’re new to the channel by the way do hit the Subscribe button click the little bell for notifications when I upload new videos now with our car keep keep a straight face without further Ado my friends let’s [Music] [Music] go right okay okay so with the Tesla charging Network you have to download an app you can’t just turn up and use contact list that doesn’t work there is nowh to do that you download the app you put in your credit card details Etc um and then it just builds you for it now what’s interesting is um they have a standing charge as well at idle fee so an idle fee can be up to1 pound per minute so if you leave your car idling once it’s charged you’re going to get charged which I think personally is a good idea because then it stops you blocking the charges for other people um also they have varying times as well so uh for instance uh busier times they charge you more off peak for instance 42p per kilowatt I believe uh on off peak and then uh on peak times uh on this one uh 53p per minute so it varies uh on how busy it is so there we go different locations quite a few locations across the UK now opened up to non-tesla cars which is interesting and more and more along the way as well that are coming as a Tesla owner if you are watching and you are a Tesla owner that would annoy me if I was a Tesla owner because these surely that’s what part of the thing of having a Tesla I think you’ll find you should got a Tesla because you can use the best charging Network what happens when they open more and more of these up you turn up and you’ve got a Porsche Tian in the space where you want to charge or even worse an mg or a PO a let’s get this thing charged up and get on the road anyway right so I’ve uh done the app now all I need to do is plug in hopefully the cable’s long enough so let’s get this shoved in and then we can get on our way once it’s charged and see what the rest of the Network’s like right so the cable’s long enough let’s pop this in there we go little bit tight but we’re good right so we’re underway I know it’s 90% but I thought I’d give it a go get it up to 100% And then we’ll get on the road tells you your charging fees also what kilowatt it’s actually charging at at the moment charging rate 15 kilowatt um it’d be interesting to find out it doesn’t seem to charge as fast as it charges Teslas is that is there a reason for that um because I’ve used them before let me know but also uh Tesla owners as I say got a Tesla owner over there now uh giving me the BD I feel guilty charging on your network I have to say I personally don’t think it should be allowed but you know I guess it’s all money in um elon’s pocket isn’t it you know well I’m waiting um You probably heard you may have heard that um Quentin Wilson X Top Gear presenter uh before it got good uh actually spoke about me indirectly wouldn’t give me the oxygen uh on BBC Radio and one of the things that he mentioned was he said it was all fake news about um cars electric cars being too heavy to go into car Parks Etc and making Bridges collapse and he said it’s basically all false news now interestingly enough though however and he’s mentioned in this news story here it says electric car driver turned away from hospital car park no electric vehicles are allowed so a father who has taken his child to Al Dey Hospital in Liverpool says he was turned away from the car park because he was driving an electric vehicle now then it says Paul Freeman poell said he was told he could not park next to nearby grass because his car could explode the hospital says it has temporarily banned access to the car park while it improves its sprinkler system but industry figures have challenged the decision pointing to research that indicates petrol cars are considerably more likely to catch fire than EVS H it says Mr Freeman pow told the BBC he attempted to tell the security guard he spoke uh to that that the hospital’s policy did not make any sense but he said in the end he complied because he did not want his seven-year-old son to miss an appointment he had waited for for nearly uh 5 years five wow blim me um nearly 5 years for in a statement issued to the BBC alery Hospital said the following advice from uh merys Side Fire and Rescue It had temporarily restricted the parking of electric vehicles in one of our smaller car parks while we upgrade its sprinkler system electric vehicles are still able to park in our main hospital car park it continued pointing out uh then it goes on about misinformation Etc and this is where Quentin Wilson comes in again seems to be banging on about electric cars Quenton if you’re watching I’d love to get together on camera with you just drop me an email if you dare uh it says it’s found it says here fa Mr Freeman po shared a picture of the sign at the entrance to the car park which reads no electric vehicles on X formerly Twitter uh Fair charge a campaign group for electric vehicles described it as misinformation uh erroneously shaping uh public policy its founder the motoring jour journalist Quentin Wilson said for the NHS to restrict electric cars from coming into car Parks dramatically conflicts with clean air and health benefits from zero tailpipe emissions anyway it goes on and on about this so I shall pop this um report in the uh description down below and have a read of it yourself but it’s interesting isn’t it that that’s actually come from the fire department so really what they’re saying is the electric cars are more of a fire risk than petrol cars because petrol cars were allowed to go into that car park but electric vehicles weren’t so Quentin answer me that riddle me that anyway let’s see where we are on this network it’s not charging very fast at all and I’ve got a Tesla owner right behind me wonder if they’ve got any Bal in their car this is actually painful 20 kilowatt charging rate and this is a fast charging car Tesla earners tell me why why is this not charging very fast I don’t understand they don’t seem to be giving me the power that I need so I think I’m going to just call it a day in a minute because I’ve been here about 15 minutes now1 26 20 I mean that’s Nots we’ll probably give it give it five more minutes and then uh we’ll just get on our way because obviously it charges slowly anyway after um 80% so uh we’ll get down to Tottenham and then we should be low enough to give us a faster charge fingers crossed right I think I’m going to call it a day we’re now at1 68 uh 92% of charge charging ratees only 21 Kow not getting a lot out of it so let’s hit the road and uh get down to Tottenham and test the rest of the network come on right I think you have to stop it on the app let’s have a look stop charging there we go stop charging charging stopped at 10:25 a.m. another Tesla owner is he a Tesla owner no it’s Mercedes we’re all right Mercedes I bet that’s annoying all you Tesla owners out there we’re using your network we’re using your network right I tell you what I need to get out of here because I feel so so uneasy around evangelists I’m getting a name now and uh I feel like I can they they’re burning their eyes are burning through me a little bit like their cars burning right come on onwards my friends now what I’m hoping is that you don’t have to go and register your car with that hotel because there’s anpr cameras on that car park uh and also along here as well so um that’s worrying that is worrying because a lot of the car Parks now we now have these parking operations in force Etc and it’s all one big con isn’t it everywhere that you go now you’ve basically got these parking things in in in operation where they just send you an invoice out a fine if you don’t pay it Etc and you pay it straight away it’s cheaper if you don’t then it cost you 100 OD quid they do it in Tesco they do it in ASDA they do it in McDonald’s it’s basically I think one big scam these parking people it’s again aimed at car owners would just get scammed all the time it’s easy money easy pickings right let’s get on the road and let’s get to Tottenham to London we’re also going to try and ring Jeff by cars along the way as well and uh see what he thinks to it but I’m be really interested interested to know from Tesla owners there’s got to be some Tesla owners watching this video as Tesla is in the actual description let me know what you think to us not having Tesla cars charging on your network because I know when I’ve been to Porsche uh in the Lake District and and and at Nottingham Etc and charged at Porsche charging stations if there is another car in there that isn’t a Porsche it windes me up and I get angry I’m like what are you doing get off it which is interesting isn’t it are we get are we going to get like that so that I mean you never go into ESO and start thinking oh there’s a Mercedes in there or whatever it’s it’s brand snobbery isn’t it brand snobbery [Music] [Music] it’s interesting isn’t it because Tesla really what has it actually got going for it if it opens up its Network more and more to non Tesla cars then really he’s kind of devaluing his brand because what else has it got going for it okay the software is pretty good on a Tesla it’s got really good software I will admit that but a lot of other car manufacturers now like VW and scoda Etc their software is getting better and better and he’s becoming on par with it and a lot of Chinese manufacturers as well their software is getting better and better so it’s interesting it’s like apple giving up their ecosystem uh and opening it up to PCS oh you can use our software on PCS it then devalues the brand of Apple now they did that many many moons ago when they got rid of Steve Jobs and I think it was UMX computers or whatever and they actually licensed their software onto Nona computers which devalued the brand because then why would you buy an Apple computer if you can go and get something that’s a third of the price that’s cheaper and you’ve got the same thing basically so I think they’re devaluing the brand a little bit so why would you actually go and get a Tesla so there you have it let me know your thoughts in that comment section down below [Music] ha [Music] um with Teslas by the way again Tesla owners let me know in that comment section down below um they have self-driving facilities now I don’t think that’s available fully self-driving in the UK but I believe it is in the USA let me know in that comment section but interestingly enough I saw a video on M guy uh in Australia who I met up with when I was over there and he did a video about where if somebody wore a stop sign on their shirt would the car stop because it sees that stop sign and it did it was stopping because it was it observed the stop sign that somebody was wearing on a shirt so it shows you that these things are not Invincible this self-driving car Etc and things like that does it actually fully work and is it fully safe because I know you’re going to say well human error as well you’ve got human error but at least we know the difference between a stop sign on the road and one on somebody’s shirt because obviously it’s using cameras which is uh it’s a bit worrying isn’t it are we in danger of these cars having more and more accidents if we actually go fully automated which seems to be the route that we’re actually going at the moment especially in the USA not so much um in the UK at the moment [Music] and a Nissan ARA is that an electric car oh I think I’ve been a bit sick in my mouth that looks revolting absolutely Revol revolting how you get it revolting is that an electric car good grief who’s designed that Stevie Wonder honestly these electric cars why is it if there’s any car designers out there right just design a nice electric car like the Porsche tyan and and maybe the Audis but then why would you have an Audi anyway when you’d go for if you’re going to go for the Audi you’d then go for you basically go for a Porsche wouldn’t you because you go for the Audi then you think I could have had the Porsche there’s no reason that you would have the Audi the Audi is a nice car but you’d you’d have the Porsche you’d pay the money and have the Porsche just design some nice cars that are affordable even the new mini the new mini electric it looks revolting again it’s no just stop it stop making these revolting looking cars and design something that’s nice [Music] right so uh we’ve got 76% of battery left I’ve got 187 miles of range uh 116 miles to get down to Tottenham in London to the Tesla charge point that we need to use and then we’re going to charge there uh we’re going to try and charge also Lon and Northampton test the charging points there as well and see what they’re like and uh test those out and then maybe charge again back up at anle if we need to uh which is where we started at which is near Mansfield and then off up to Harriet as well for the final charge so uh it’ll be interesting to see how busy these charging networks are of Tesla and how many Teslas and non- Teslas are actually charging up on them honestly I would would be really really methed if I was a Tesla owner that you’ve got non Tesla cars blocking your charge points that would really annoy me [Music] you know some of the road signs do not make sense sometimes they’ve just gone Q ahead on the sign and then we’ve literally gone through there about 100 yards and then it’s gone National speed limit again and there was no queue so who’s monitoring the roads and putting there’s a there’s a queue when there isn’t one and getting us to slow down for no reason honestly I think there’s more to this it’s interesting because I spoke to a guy the other day who uh picked the scod up and he lives down in London and he said he believes controversial that they’re actually narrowing Lanes putting bus lanes in and actually putting cycle Lanes in on purpose to slow the traffic down and to cause cues and congestion they’re doing it themselves but there is something in that isn’t there because with all the bike lanes and the bus lanes Etc you’ve got less space for the cars and yeah of course it’s going to be busier isn’t it doesn’t make any sense there’s something behind it all I think they want us off of the roads all together hence let’s get you all in electric cars that nobody can afford really it’s interesting because the other day I drove from uh boness on windir down to Worcester and the cost of the charging that it cost me to charge this car compared to Jeff bu cars where I went to see if you look head over to his channel you’ll actually see the comparison and the cost comparison for the same amount of money that I paid to charge my car he he put the same amount of money in his diesel Volvo and he actually got more miles way more miles for the same amount of money that I put into my electric car so it’s a fallacy that electric cars are actually cheaper to run because a they cost more to start with b they depreciate faster than equivalent petrol or diesel car and C if you’re not charging at home they cost you a lot more money to charge than put in petrol or diesel in your car so really they’re not that cheap and to actually make these cars they’re not even environmentally friendly look it up so where are we going what’s it all about what’s it all [Music] about now what I’m going to do is to get Optimum charging here on the Tesla charging Network um I know I didn’t do it back at anly but what I’m going to do now is I’m going to only charge to 80% at these charges so that’s all I’m going to charge to and then go to the next Charger and again top it up to 80% and then that way hopefully I get Optimum charging Etc and faster charging uh and that’s what we’re going to do so we’re not going to go over 80% if if we can try not to anyway so that’s what we’re going to do and do it properly cuz I think you’ll find that uh you only should charge to 80% and they’re not below 20% although some evangelists near other day said that’s actually not true you’re saying it wrong only charge to 80% where you can but there’s not a problem if you’re going on a long journey to charge to 80% they’ve always got an answer haven’t they these evangelists [Music] right well I need to stop uh for for the little boy’s room actually I need a Wii I need a Wii so I’m going to stop off at Newport pagal no I’m not going to charge because today we are testing out the Tesla charging network uh and it’s only a select few that you can use although it is growing it is growing regularly it’s getting quite big now if you download the app and you look it there’s quite a large and quite a substantial amount of charges that you can charge a non- Tesla car on so ha Tesla users ha Tesla owners ha we’re using your network childish child right milk flow off now interestingly enough we’re at Newport pagal Services here now I’ve been here before to try and charge and they’ve got some charges here uh electric or something I think it’s called and I tried to charge on these before and I couldn’t download the app because the contactless part wasn’t working so you couldn’t pay contactless at when they’d first set them up so I tried to download the app I couldn’t get a signal so I couldn’t actually charge on these which is interesting so uh but it looks now that you may be able to pay contactless now and download the app you can have literally a phone full of apps aren’t you for your Tesla charger your uh electric charger or whatever it is your grid serve charging app there’s literally going to be like loads of apps on your phone that you’ve got to download just to charge your code what happened to just contactless or cash and you can’t pay cash on any of the charges so in the EV World cash is not King come on ah hang on a minute we’ve got Jeff by cars on the phone let me just get him on loudspeaker is that Jeff mice cars Jeff talk sh yeah I’m right here Jeff talk SH now then guess what I’m doing today uh you’re hanging around outside queny Wilson’s house I’m not hanging around outside queny Wilson’s house that would be you’re at your new house making sure Morag isn’t in the bushes I’m making sure Morag isn’t in the bushes that’s right now then no I’m actually uh going down to London to drive all the way up to Harriet using wait for it the Tesla charging Network are you allowed to do that am I allowed you see I now I asked the Tesla owners out there who will be watching this they must be really peeved because more and more Tesla Chargers are now open to non-tesla cars again like if it was about saving the planet and doing good for the environment surely it would be an everybody love everybody sort of thing and we’d have one generic charging system for the whole country and all the car charger points would be the same but it’s not so it must just all be about money and control well that must be it well I’m at Newport pagal at the moment and there’s a another charger here which I’ve been here before and it wouldn’t accept contactless at the time and you had to download the app so there we go you you can have a phone full of different apps for different Chargers but I have to say the Tesla users must be really really peeved because when I went to Porsche the other week in South Lakes there was a I think there was a pole star charging up and I actually was annoyed I was like why are you charging on a Porche charger I I fully agree so especially if you paid the list price for your Tesla thinking you had an exclusive charging Network and then Elon Musk dumped all the prices on all the Teslas and then he opened up the charging Network to all the other proletaria I would be very annoyed if I bought a Tesla yeah should have got a Tesla Maybe not maybe not I mean what’s the point really let’s be honest if the Tesla charging network is going to start opening up to non Tesla cars what’s the point in having a Tesla because they look foul the people that buy them smear themselves in Marmite and get the dog dogs to lick it off so what’s the point I went to view a car yesterday to buy on behalf of someone else and the lady on Facebook Marketplace said to me don’t worry my husband will show you the car right so I go to the car and I’m there before the husband arrives husband turns up in a Tesla Model y why being the why being the word this guy knew nothing about cars not a thing the sort of people that buy Tesla Model wise know absolutely nothing about Motor Cars is it a model why is in wh y spell a Tesla Model y well my my youngest child tells me that the Tesla models are named Model S model three model X and model y because the model range spells sexy really apparently oh my word oh dear I I know and that you see that comes down to being again spreading themselves in Marmite and peanut butter and getting the dog to lick it off sexy you see it’s all about and I said I was there they’re Doggers they’re swingers it’s in there the word is in there yeah exactly swinging Teslas do you like any Teslas um I drove the model three for a test drive and I mean what is the novelty of the acceleration at warn off it was just another car um it’s got some neat features you know they’ve got some neat features but I just it’s the whole thing for me it’s the control element is the fact that I can’t get into it without my ID and the whole Elric car thing I’m just I’m just not a fan I’m not a fan oh well you know who’s got one don’t you I think quiny Wilson’s got one hasn’t he he has yeah I tell you what there’s been some great comments on Twitter apparently we’ve we’ve fully schooled him on the electric car charging and pricing Network people are saying he has made himself look a right fool have you got a message for queny because he’s probably watching I think he probably is watching and he’s probably cursing himself right now for being such an idiot calling you a nut job yes I’m not a nut job Quenton I’m not I mean I’m not am I a nut job I think we’re all nut jobs sometimes but the point was he did it publicly on the BBC the other thing as well that someone said to me in a comment is the reason he never named You by name and didn’t name your channel is because that’s on the BBC that would have given you the right of reply so you would have been able to publicly State your case had he actually named you I don’t know if that’s correct but but I quite like the idea that he deliberately didn’t name you so that you didn’t actually have any comeback I mean let’s be honest he all but gave my shoe size I mean he pretty much gave you a shoe size uh he did everything possible to name you without naming you it was hilarious I think we’re getting the message across Jeff I think we might be I think we might be hey do you know what I’m doing today I’m do something I’ve never done before that should probably go on your channel are you doing a food review I’m going to a Cuban restaurant and I’m doing a bottomless brunch now does that mean you can’t wear trousers I think on that bomb bombshell Jeff I’ll leave you to that one send me a uh a thumbnail if you’re doing a thumbnail I might send you a video later on when I’ve had 65 glasses of prco in 90 minutes I need a thumbnail Jeff I need a thumbnail I should send you a thumbnail right I’ll speak to you in a bit catch you later byebye bye there we go Jeff buys cars make sure head over and subscribe to his channel I’ll put the link on the end and down below right let’s get to the L and get to the Tesla charging Network come on right so these are the ones that I tried to charge on last apple green and it’s 77 P per kilowatt in app payment 72 P so to get you to download the app they’re giving you a bit of an incentive there uh but if you just tap and go it’s 77 so there we go they just try try to get an app on your phone aren’t they and get your data right well I’m going to get to the L there’s also some grid serve charges over there as well but lots of different charges there anyway I need the L I’ll meet you back at the car oh a Volvo electric oh dear [Music] right okay let’s get back in the car um D BMWs look terrible the it on to the grill it looks awful sack the BMW design team onwards right come on no time to waste let’s get there obviously I have got time to waste cuz I’ve got I’ve got an electric car plenty of time to waste milk float on and on our way [Music] right okay so this is the state of Brit Britain’s roads by the way 52 miles to the Tesla charger that we need uh at Tottenham uh an hour and 29 minutes to get there to get 52 miles now I need to get up to Harrier to the final charge point cuz I’m going to get from Tottenham to Har so what I might do is skip the Northampton one or skip the luten one I don’t know we’ll see where we’ll see where we are I’ll look at where we are on the actual charge point on the map uh and we’ll do uh another one in between maybe not an asly I don’t know we’ll see anyway we’ll work it out to get the uh to we’ll plan our journey I think you’ll find you need to plan your journey well that’s exactly what we’re going to do today we’re going to plan our journey cuz if I don’t get back to lead tonight before 6:30 there’s going to be trouble there may be trouble ahead I won’t give up my day job whatever that is is it really a job maybe I should get a proper job anyway stop waffling come [Music] on um by the way we’re going into a congestion charge Zone but it’s weekend anyway so I don’t think that applies uh and also my car um yeah don’t get charged the congested charge it’s exempt uh because I went online and I registered my car as being exempt from the congestion charge because it’s fully electric even though really they should know that with their ampr cameras but for some reason you have to register it maybe that’s to catch you out and make more money it’s all about money it’s all about the money um however that incentive is to go I think it’s 20 I think it’s in a year or two’s time it goes anyway look it up pop it in the comments section but the incentive of free congestion charge or wavering the congestion charge for electric cars is going the same as also um the I know it’s not Road tax now or whatever it is um that went as well that’s going so the your incentives going for the road tax your incentiv is going for the congestion charge your incentive for originally to have a home charger installed that’s gone as well so all those incentives are disappearing so if all the incentives are disappearing they’re going to take everything away they’re dangling a carrot in front of you here we are look buy an electric car oh we’ll have that back buy electric we’ll have that back so don’t fall for it don’t fall for it my friends stick with a diesel or stick with a petrol power to the people my friends power to the [Music] [Music] people pole star a pole star it’s not the ugliest looking car I will admit that it’s not the ugliest looking electric car that goes to probably the tan well no not even the Tesla I’m going to say the mg that’s one of the worst ugliest looking cars but pole start as a name they’ve taken it a step further haven’t they they’ve given it a name like I’ve said before an exotic dancer but the only thing is it’s like going in for an exotic dance and then Ena sharpel coming out naked an ex exotic doing an exotic lap dance it’s just not going to work is it if you’re going to call it after an exotic dancer make it look a little bit better than that I’d probably not say probably not Ena sharles probably and if you don’t know who Ena sharles is by the way Ena sharles was a character of Coronation Street from many many moons ago I don’t like getting next to these lorries in their blind spot I’m going to slow down a little bit um Ina sharles poar if I was to if you was to put poar as oh a Tesla um if you used to put poar as an exotic dancer I would say probably not sure really all the let me know in the comments section down below maybe not Ena sharles but somebody else who who would it be anyway and I’m babbling again come on let’s get a move on 50 mph limit here and lorries are over undertaking me and I’m going 50 in a 50 Zone breaking the you’re breaking the law you’re breaking the [Music] law no I’ve got it I’ve got it pole Star right okay my hazards on going to a stop pole star it’s like giving it an exotic dancer’s name but Susan Bole coming out to give you a lap dance that’s what it’s like that pole star is Susan Bole there you go I’ve got it I’ve got a new one get there eventually Susan boiled by the way before she had the makeover definitely before she had a makeover with now she’s had a makeover she’s she’s you know a lot better but before she had a makeover you imagine you’re going for an exotic dance and Susan Bole comes out before the makeover and by the way there’s a there’s a woman in a car just gone by cuz we’re in like a slow traffic here she’s um painting her nails and she’s driving at the same time steering with her knees which is odd anyway um if we’re comparing cars to women now if there’s any women watching compare cars to men as well can play the same game I’m saying the Porsche tyan is Kieran nightly or an haway I mean an haway For Me that’ Be A Winner yeah this is an haway the Porsche tyan for me is an haway I’m I’m in an ha way uh easy and uh let’s let’s play another game then so Tesla let’s say uh the big Tesla I don’t know which one it is the the the one with the high roof on it or whatever what would that be who would you compare a Tesla to and who would you compare an mg the electric mg to I tell you I’d compare the electric mg2 uh to Morag that’s how I would compare the electric mg2 Morag there we go anym let me know in the comments section down below let’s compare electric cars to women and men if you know let’s do that let’s do that it’s a good game [Music] got it for the Tesla now I’m not going to say the guy’s name but I’m going to compare the Tesla to a certain motoring journalist who will not be named because I’m not going to give them the oxygen kind of really good and Cutting Edge when it came out but a little bit past its cell by date now [Music] [Music] [Music] onwards one of us of us one of one of us that’s the one that’s the one it looks like a cop roach that looks awful that’s the Tesla that looks like a cockroach makes my skin [Music] crawl one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us [Music] right I can’t believe it there’s a sign back there low emission Zone sorry about the road noise it’s like a concrete road low emission Zone after Services right low emission Zone after services that is that Sadi con’s fault isn’t it he he’s literally extending the low emission Zone further and further out yet while he’s driving around in his big Range Rover and being chauffered about unbelievable that guy reminds me of one of the kids were that you had at school who was a little SWAT who used to swat up to the teachers who needed a he needed a good slap do you know what I mean that’s what he reminds me of little little SWAT that’s what he reminds me of teaches pet little SWAT annoying little SWAT Anyway come on [Music] [Music] [Music] ooh I was I was keeping up with that car in front there very easily by the way electric cars are fast but the sound of that oh it was oh that now that was sexy Li me oh o where’s them [Music] tissues for my nose for my nose I’ve got a bit of a cold where’s your mind it’s in the gutter [Music] look at that classic Jag a classic Jag I mean that is a Jag not the Jags that you got now the E Pace or fpce or whatever it is eace the electric one that is a Jag it had got something about it it got character it got got so now the only one the latest one the electric ones what’s it got just a battery pack just oh we’re going to lose all that looks gorgeous [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] right okay so we are in London and a bird has pooped on my car I tell you what I’ve just had it cleaned I reckon they look from up above in the goat that’s a clean car I’m going to open up my bowels why do it on my car there’s a Tesla over there do it on that almost there 0.8 miles now uh to the destination so uh and I’m getting hungry as well so I can have something to eat well I’m charging [Music] [Music] oh no there’s so many Teslas I’m actually in a Tesla dealership or something it’s it’s my worst nightmare oh and now I’m pulling up in a non- Tesla car this is bad this is bad oh this is my worst nightmare right milk float off let’s get this charged hang on let’s switch the milk float back on again we’ve got 107 M of range 42% of battery it’s now 1 159 in the afternoon um and uh let’s just get this milk float off and get out there I can’t believe [Music] this right okay so we are charger number 1A so let’s open up the Tesla app charger number 1A see how much it is I can’t believe this is like the uh a dealer right where are we here we go search location uh we are here I believe we here where are we got to find out where we are first where are we if we go there we are that’s where we are okay Tottenham so we’ll click on that it is um idle fees are a pound again um and it is 8 a.m. we’re now at 2 p.m. so we’re looking about 47 is it let’s click charge here and we’ll find out so it says start charging uh 1A I’m sure we 1 a I’ll just double check yeah 1 a so we’ll click 1 a start charging 250 Kow Max plug into start so we need to plug in here we go plug it in and let’s see what the app says after plugging in it may take up to 2 minutes to start charging right come on is it doing anything feel on edge with all these Tesla people strong smell of Mite around here I can tell you right take a minute ah here we go right charging in progress I don’t know what it is but it doesn’t seem to be a very fast charging rate I don’t understand it very strange says it’s charging 45 kilowatt charging rate I mean that’s slow in fact it’s now 2 5 2 and it’s says it won’t be finished charging until 3:26 that’s ages away anyway let’s go and have a look around I need a disguise or something one of us of us one of us one of us no no leave me alone leave me alone it’s all about the greater good the greater one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us it’s all about the greater good the greater good one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us no I’m not one of you I am not one of you one of us us one of us one of us leave me just leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone not like us not like us not like us not like I need the toilet we have to go into the dealership wish me [Music] Lu one of us one of us fast it’s all about the greater good the greater good one of us of us one of of us one of us look look at these doors are it gwing doors that’s mad look at this let’s get into the back here and these G wi doors parking in a tight car park and open them up it’s just going to whack into another car isn’t it got a TV screen in the back look at this TV system in the back that is nuts I’m inside of Des it’s weird isn’t it having like a gwing doors on it it’s very Strange’s get out of here actually there’s a display there’s your screen in the middle there but there is a display in front of uh the steering wheel on this one this is left hand drive as well very spacious in the back very spacious I feel unclean I feel unclean unclean right well okay on a serious note now um 71 72% now uh charged we’re at now 23812 22 charging fees um so the charging is actually quite reasonable really but the charging rate is not really the fastest is it why is that is that because I’m non Tesla Tesla owners well let me know why why is it not charging faster um anyway so uh I’m going to try and get as much charging as I can cuz I got to get up to Harrier and I’ve just rung Sarah and I need to be back in leades so got to be as quick as I can now so uh need to get this done but um there you have it anyway oh another one yes right I think what I’m actually going to do now is because I am hungry and there’s nothing to eat around here at all so we’re now at 74% so I think what I’m going to do is finish the charging here and then maybe head off up to looten and put some charging at Tesla there so I’m going to click stop charging so car stop charging at 240 to complete the session and avoid idle fees unplug and move your vehicle so we’re going to do that now right so let’s unplug this need to unlock the car first there we go that helps unplug that that and pop this back right so there you go got an ionic next to me now nestled and sandwiched between a Tesla and an ionic my worst nightmare so we’ve got uh basically 35 minutes 45 seconds charging fees uh £1 136 energy delivered 28 KW so let’s get back in the car and let’s get back on the road to the next one onwards my friends right let’s get out of here okay so milk floats on we’re at 193 Mi of range 74% of battery let’s get to looting and let’s get out of here come on [Music] 20 mph speed limit well absolutely ridiculous absolutely ridiculous welcome to sadique con’s London and believe it or not right it looks like while I’m filming this it just came up on my phone while I was in Tesla that is going to get in again who is reelecting this wumble in fact I’m going to go into this Garage in a minute near a curb there I want to go into this Garage in a minute and get something to drink and a little snack at because I’ve got a headache so uh if he moves forward I can get around got move forward oh I’m going in the Gary who’s re-electing that wumble honestly more of the same more of the same more cameras more low emission zones more congestion charges wiers spread out honestly right and let’s get in this garage you know what garages by the way like this Shell service station right there’s something about just being able to pull in grab yourself something to eat or drink fill up with fuel whatever we were going to lose that with charging points cuz they’re just going to be strewn all over the place now I don’t want to take up a actually do you know what I’m going to take up I’m going to ice them or whatever it is what do you call it EV them I’m going to pull up and a petrol pump in my electric car see you in a minute have to say I got a little bit of pleasure there um parking in a in a petrol station in a pump that’s a pump the guy said uh what number and I says uh n he says uh and he was looking I said no it’s electric mate anyway there we go I’ve got some uh oh Smoky bacon I thought they were prawn cocktail oh man got the wrong ones it look I thought they were pink that’s just ruined my day now roast chicken and sweet corn and a Kit Kat and some Tango right onwards my friend [Music] chicken and sweet corn I bet you Tesla drivers right time how long it takes the sweet corn to get through their digestive system cuz they’ve got time to do that while they’re waiting for the car to charge [Music] so we’re now on the famous M25 which I believe Chris Ria sang the song about Road to Hell standing by a river but the water doesn’t flow and it boils with every poison I can think of and that meant the exhaust fumes I believe um on the M25 what would you see now if it was all electric cars let me know in that comments section reord it for electric cars [Music] question question question question for Tesla drivers so I use my app to charge my non Tesla car with a Tesla what do you do do you have an app or do you just turn up to the charging Network and it recognizes your car and then you have an account so is it free charging do you get get free charging if you buy a brand new Tesla and what happens do you just do you just plug it in does it know what your car is or do you have to have an app the same as we do let me know in that comment section down below that’s horrible look at it an ionic 5 it just looks awful who’s designed that thing it looks like a stickle brick it literally looks like a stickle brick [Music] one of us of us one of us one of [Music] us don’t get the Teslas you know that that one that I went back in there I don’t know what model it was the one with the gwing doors what’s all that about I mean do you think that looks great it’s not the best idea either is it especially in car parks that you’ve got in the UK when you park in a narrow car parking spot all right kids just stay in the car why Daddy I want to come with you cuz can’t open the door cuz it won’t open or climb through into the front and then get out this way it just doesn’t work does it what’s the idea with it is there a is there a reason for it is he just trying to be different it just it looks silly doesn’t it I don’t it’s just odd weird and then you get into the cabin into the cockpit of these Teslas and they just look and feel like a doctor’s waiting room it feels really really clinical I mean you’ve got a really nice screen in the back for the kids to watch or whatever and then you got a big screen in the front it’s just a iPod iPad and wheels isn’t it it’s just H honestly I don’t get it I don’t get it I know the software is good and I know your network your charging Network your supercharger network is good but the cars are just crap not like us not like us not like us not like right look at this here on the left right okay that is a Ford Mustang look at it right an electric Ford Mustang just look at the design of that right let me slow off a bit here we go just look at the design of that that’s never been a Ford Mustang that I mean it’s never been a Ford Mustang has it this look there you go that is a Ford Mustang A Classic Ford Mustang it’s sexy it’s gorgeous it’s beautiful it’s something that you want to sit in that thing is I mean I wouldn’t even want to throw up on it in fact some of my vomit has been better looking than [Music] that you know what electric cars other than this and the Audi which I’ve said before they just look terrible these designers these car designers at the moment have stolen stolen the characteristics of of real cars and beautiful cars how dare you how dare you how dare you how dare you can’t keep a straight face that was my graa graa gunberg or whatever her name is well she’s a character in half isn’t she he good grief have you seen her she’s a she like she’s like something off of a horror movie isn’t she hey do you know what I mean good grief she looks scary Blaster I don’t know I’m sure she’s very well off anyway because like my mom said it’s all about the money my mom used to say it like that by the way it’s all about the money I mean I’m guessing she’s making money from somewhere anyway where’s this going right Luton next we are almost there 3.2 miles to our destination um 61% of of battery 152 M of range so we’re going to get charged up there I’ve been there before there is a McDonald’s there so I can get myself an ice cream or unfortunately there’s no Burger King because as Quentin Wilson says you can have a Burger King while you’re charging up why Burger King why Burger King Quenton do you do do you like Burger King better than McDonald’s well I guess actually I’m with you on that one the burgers are better I have to say and the chips are better it’s all better isn’t it it’s better Burger King is better [Music] [Music] always reminds me of that advert from years ago do you remember it with was it Lorraine Chase l l airport were you truly wafted here from Paradise no l Airport always reminds me of that I bet Lorraine Chase always gets remembered for that for that TV commercial and she’s done loads and loads of other things it was Lorraine Chase wasn’t it yeah sure it was and uh she’s she I bet she gets if you’re watching Lorraine Chase which I highly doubt it unless you’re into electric cars and Teslas and if you are you’re obviously you should be avertising bobil now and peanut butter anyway I bet you always remembered for that commercial right almost there 0.4 miles and I know where this one is so we’re going to get charged up and uh and then on our way to the next Tesla Supercharger [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] right I can’t go in that one because I need a charger on I need the charger on the left hand side so that’s the one I need so I need to pull in here I feel like feel an edge now this guy in here is eating his McDonald’s fries in his car wonder if he’s got any Bal with him right let’s pop that there pop that there as close as I can okay milk float off we’ve got 153 mil of range 60% of battery uh so let’s get this off and let’s get it charged up come on right okay so we are in Luton so we’ll open up the Tesla app says uh where are we we need to search location so we are here in luten so Luton there we go charge here and we are number I believe 3C 3C so choose 3C start charging and it says plug in to start so I’ll plug it in okay slot that in and then see where we are let’s have a look I’ve plugged it in after plugging in it might take up to two minutes to start charging doing anything initializing charging here we go I think we’re in business it’s going green on there come on come on actually I’m going to be having a word with the old Elon here we go we’re in business 60% charged and 45 kilow say it’s slow again why is it slow is it because it’s a not a Tesla let me know in that comments section right there’s actually Ford Mustang over there that we actually passed I don’t know whether that’s I don’t think that’s the one we passed but just have a look at it come have a look at this right come on in come on in for we’ve got forand with me here now you’re a Tesla owner yes now how long have you had your Tesla two and a half years two and a half years yeah okay come a little closer come a little closer so do you like it yeah I love it nice car how do you nice car how do you charge with it do you have an app or does it recognize car you recognizes your car you just turned up to the charges well you don’t do anything you don’t do anything you just plug in and that’s it and automatically they take the money from your account really so every car every Tesla have a chip inside right so you have no up you just turn up just turn up just put it in the charger unless if I go to the different charges and how much it cost uh for us for Tesla users it’s a different prices so it’s cheaper than what we’re we’re doing and I’m only getting really slow charging out of these charges you get faster charging don’t you no pretty much I think they’re the same but maybe if you recondition your car before you ride here yeah then you get fast charging and you get fast charging I recondition my car like a 10 miles before coming here yeah so I get like a 134 K and can I ask you one other question yeah what do you think right you got to be honest when a when a non-tesla pulls up into a Tesla charging point I don’t mind actually because most of them they are empty you can see that uh Tesla’s were but only problem is if you can see here as well you you just occupi two spaces now yes I have yeah you take that charger as well and you take this space as well yeah why is because your connection is there so all electric cars they have a different different connections all over the place so that’s little bit unfair to the other users whereas you Tes are charging at the same place yeah some places I see people having a argument people are fighting with each other because they say you just take two space and I have to wait for 50 minutes now whereas if I was a Tesla the charging it’s only one space and everybody would be uniform that’s a good point they need to fix that one to make a universal yes for all the cars that’s a good that’s a good point so then everyone can be use that one yeah this is one of the biggest problem I’ve seen uh all different I don’t mind people use other charges because if they are empty so at least people bring more green got yeah got easy uh it’s not an electric airplan no not no yet soon baby soon yeah maybe so’s going to go out of business I think that’s the idea that’s it would you is it your first Tesla yeah the first electric car would you have another Tesla oh yeah I will I will definitely you would never go to like AOL no would you go to Porsche tyan or an Audi or yeah but they are so expensive this one cost me £49,000 49 at uh 2021 now the same car goes to £39,000 £10,000 more cheaper because more electric cars are coming yeah so more competition is coming in the market yeah U Tesla one thing is good the charging network is best in the whole UK yeah even in over the Europe as well if you want to go to the Europe they have the best charging Network so you always never I it’s never happened to me then I went out of charge you’ve never run out charge and so in 2 and a half year never happen the Tesla charging network is good Tesla take you straight away towards the charger if your battery is low so it’s tell you if you’re going to the weight let’s say to Birmingham it’s going to say you’re not going to make to Birmingham so stop at the Watford Junction or Watford camp and you you do you like the Tesla charging Network you happy with it yeah yeah they’re good their prices are good as well when I bought this one that time it was 25p per kilow now they’re charging like 55p kilow uh 45 P Kil in the night time is cheaper it differs doesn’t it yeah in the night time it goes but now just plug it in that’s it you don’t uh just just plug it in and automatically just take all the money whatever even you don’t have money in your account it still give you the charge really yeah what do they do then just charge it to no they keep making the balance in your account because they don’t let you go out of charge they’ll never let you go out of charge do you know what that’s been really interested answer a few question this happened to me one time I didn’t had money in my account and I so the Tesla just you know just let me charge and nothing happened next time my wages come and that’s it I took the money out fantastic a lot cheaper than mine £120,000 no but this is beautiful isn’t it this is beautiful that’s it is but I’m taking up two I’m sorry I’m charging on your network and taking up two space Not only you it’s other cars you it’s cars they take two two space as well yeah pretty much Mercedes push and a few other cars they have the charging in the front in the front yeah so that’s the they need to do something to make a universal for everyone yeah so no TS at all it’s a good point that thank thank you very much very nice really informative really inform answer the questions I’ve been needing to know no problem at all thank you very much cheers go onwards tell you what that was really informative that guy was really informative if you watching by the way thank you for that uh just spending a little bit of time because that answers my question about charging Teslas and also the fact about he had a good point there you make it Universal on which side uh the charges are my word airplanes [Music] onwards right I’m going to get myself a uh strawberry Frappuccino I think right got myself a strawberry Frappuccino uh I’m just going to do a spot of work here while I’m uh waiting for my car to charge we’re now at 75% charging five 76% charging £588 we getting a49 kilowatt charging rate so not the fastest but gives me a chance to enjoy my strawberry frappuccino in a paper straw [Music] [Music] GH an ionic horrible awful stickle brick on Wheels brain freeze right okay so let’s see what it’s actually cost us shall we uh let’s go into the Tesla app and we are at 96% charge £ 1386 23 KW uh per hour 23 Kow charging sorry charging rate 33.7 Kow energy delivered cost wise I’m going to say that’s not too bad compared to the other places like grid serve Etc uh who charge an absolute fortune and you get Vaseline with it so that’s not too bad right let’s get this thing unplugged and then get back on the [Music] roading there’ll be a lot quiet when planes are electric right so we’re going to get the some plug by the way um as I was walking back there was a gentleman well a couple was with his wife uh and he says have you not sold the Porsche yet so and he’ got a Tesla as well so he obviously watches the channel got to be careful around these evangelists although that gentleman earlier on was very nice to be fair very informative let’s get this put back right okay so total cost in the end was here we go £428 there we go right come on back on the road next stop Harriet right okay so we’ve got um 98% of battery 251 miles of range uh it says we’ve got 179 miles to go so we’ve got enough uh to get there it’s going to take 3 hours so it’s a long journey so come on onwards my friends [Music] H American school bus now there we go anyway so we charged up Harry get next that was kind of interesting speaking to the uh Tesla owner there earlier on so basically they just plug in and that’s it it just invoices them which is I guess a better way to do it and you’re not actually messing around with different cards different memberships you just plug in and that’s it job done no messing nothing it recognizes the car talks to the car and then builds you which I guess is a better way of doing it instead of messing around with contact list downloading apps really I guess that’s the way that it should be done it should just be standardized but how are you going to do that with different cars and different brands that’s not going to work is it or is it maybe Tesla open up their whole network to uh other brands and then that’s the way of May way of them making money maybe in the future they don’t make cars they are just a charging Network [Music] one of us us one of one of us I’m not one of you not one of you um you know I have to say one thing about the Tesla supercharge Network it’s interesting because I’ve been to them before off camera and I’ve never been to one yet that’s out of service or isn’t working they all just seem to work whereas you go to other charging networks like grid seres for instance and there’s plenty of them all the time that are always out of order so is it different technology why is it Tesla owners let me know in the comments section should have ought a Tesla should have bought a Tesla why I could just use your [Music] network right okay so I’ve actually got Nigel on the phone here who uh I met the other day you might have seen on the video and he picked up his scoda his new scoda electric car and I’ve just him what it’s like what’s it like are you enjoying it well I must tell you one thing it’s more short fotter to drive than it is the hyi ionic 5 it’s got a stronger presence it feels more robust the quality of the materials inside are a lot better um it’s got more space but that’s but that’s just because of the design of the of the car it’s got an interesting feature which I’ve never seen before um with the adaptive cruise control which I’ve had on on previous cars the adaptive cruise control works slightly different in in as much as when it reckons or sorry when it recognizes a different speed sign it increases that speed or decreases it according to the traffic sign recognition it picks up now our previous car that adaptive cruise control I’ve never known that to happen before that’s good are you getting good range out of it yeah it seems to be okay I mean we haven’t charged it yet we’ll be charging on the way back down the motorway sometime tomorrow it seems pretty good it’s showing on the what I call the gasometer uh between 3.8 and 4.2 KW hour uh per mile or or or or however that that that worked you know but it’s it’s a lot better than the hyundi was in in that respect brilliant that’s fantastic hope you keep on enjoying it you’ll have to let me know how the how the charging goes as well yeah I’ll sure do and I’ll do my uh Back preconditioning At One Two which I couldn’t do on the on the hyunda but I’ll tell you something very very quickly it’s it the the vehicle is much better quality than the Hyundai it really is yeah I’m not a massive fan of the ionics I have to say um yeah but the the scod is good it’s German engineering and uh that’s what help it’s part of the VW group isn’t it so uh yeah it really is so there you go On’s my friends [Music] right bit of an update for you so 52% of battery left 134 mil of range we’ve got 39 M to our destination in Harriet at the uh Tesla Supercharger it’s a Saturday when we’re recording this don’t forget the price fluctuates uh on what time of day it is and what day of week it is on the Tesla superchargers also if you want to uh get a cheaper price as well you can join it and become a member on the app and then you get uh cheaper kilowatts Etc so that’s uh something to bear in mind the Tesla supercharging Network so far I’ve been pretty impressed with uh to be fair every charg has as I’ve said before always been uh working and not out of order Etc so uh they must keep them serviced and um do a good job of them because a lot of the grid serve ones that I go to they’re the worst I’ve encountered for being out of order and malfunctioning Etc in fact when I was filming the other today there’s actually a guy fixing one of them and I’ve had no end of problems with them never had any issues so far touchwood with the Tesla ones so let’s get there and uh finish up the video and see how much uh total in cost working out for me in the description uh in the comments down below exactly how much it’s cost me for my journey on all the Tesla superchargers pop it in the uh comment section down below all [Music] [Music] there you go adult store used to be probably a happy eater or I don’t know a a little chef or something now it’s an adult store if you’ve got an e you’ll probably find that you could get some batteries there if you run out of charge if you know what I mean you’ll probably find lots of Tesla owners there anyway cuz as I’ve said before Tesla owners most of them swingers and Doggers and stuff great store for in fact they should put Tesla charging points Tesla superchargers in those adult stores go down a treat [Music] easy you know I’ve just gone over the line there cuz there’s Road works and this Lane assist thing on the car dragged the wheel out of my hand and tried to get me back into the lane but I was in the lane it actually was reading the old road markings and they’ve obviously put temporary ones over it but the car read the old ones snatched the wheel out my hand and tried to yank me back into the side of the road drives me nuts all this automated stuff it’s dangerous isn’t it I’ve also had it before where I’ve gone up to a car to turn around from it and and maneuver and it’s slams the brakes on thinking you’re collision avoidance thinking you’re going to hit the car if there’s a car behind me it’s gun up the [Music] backside right now I’m preconditioning my battery I’ve gone into the settings on here um and I’ve set it to precondition um so we shall see whether it makes any difference to how fast uh the charger works when we get to the Tesla Supercharger and see whether it actually charges any quicker cuz I need to get charged and I need to get back down to leaves or I’m in trouble [Music] [Music] aah [Music] n [Music] [Music] nice little village there weatherbe Yorkshire Yorkshire right not far now from Harriet 7 miles which is going to take us 12 minutes and we’re at uh 97 M of range and 38% of battery I’m hoping that it’s going to charge quicker now I’ve preconditioned the battery because I need to get to leads leads leads leads [Music] [Music] one of us us one of us one of us [Music] [Music] right here we are Final Destination Tesla Supercharger right milk float off let’s go out and do this right okay so Tesla app let’s open this up Tesla hopefully this is going to charge uh quicker now so here we go Tesla one second Tesla app opening the Tesla app hopefully I’ve got a signal there we go uh Harriet charge here and we are number where’s the number on this one 2C 2 a 2C start charging 51 P per kilowatt start charging and it says plug in to start okay so not as long a cable on this one so oh it’s not going to fit stay there don’t go anywhere I need to get closer hang on right plug it in different length you see right it’s in okay plug in to start after pluging in it may take a few minutes up to two minutes okay what time are we on we’re on 8:00 at night it’s initializing charging come down here cuz it’s too high you cricking me neck that’s better right okay 34% % charging still 45 kilowatt come on you can get more than that right 758 8:00 at night 45 kilowatt um let’s see how it goes 34% charged right see how long it takes we need to have a Wii I don’t think anywhere is open I have to use a bush behind a [Applause] bush right so it’s still only charging at 46 Kow I need the L and there’s no toilet cuz that is closed so there’s no l so I’m now ironic walking up to the BP garage to see whether there’s a toilet there that I can use just bring back Four Courts and garages and toilets and stuff makes it a lot easier instead of sticking it in a garden center oh that’s better I’ve been holding that in for uh the last 100 miles anyway there we go had to use the service station for a for a one and two too much information and I also got some flowers for Sarah um just to sweeten her up a little bit because um I’m going to be late cuz it’s not charging very fast it’s charging pretty slow even though I’ve preconditioned the battery so uh I don’t know why that is strange let’s get back anyway and see where we’re at right okay let’s uh hang in a minute I’m just going to take this off reduced was5 uh now three make it look like I’ve spent 5 I didn’t realized they were reduced actually so we’re bargain although normally I leave the price on and uh then Sarah will go why have you left the price on well I’m like well I leave the price on if they’re expensive let’s take that off there we go reduced £3 that’ll do she does like a bargain though right anyway we’re talking about flowers for here we go let’s see where we’re at so let’s open this up we are now at 61% £173 and we’re getting 47 kilow uh which is not ideal is it but there we go anyway it’s not overly expensive though is it it’s fairly good I have to say we’ll give it another 5 10 minutes and then we’ll be on our way listen to The Fan though again now they’re replacing this poor sha listen to [Laughter] this wow the heat from under there is intense right I think I’m going to stop this now cuz I need to get back it’s now uh 529 we’re 85% charged it’s £22 44 p we’re getting a 50 Kow charging rate uh so it’s time to stop charging I think and then uh finish this video off let me know what the overall costs were uh in total for the entire Journey what a journey give us a thumbs up for this one uh and also hit the Subscribe button if you enjoyed it uh anyway let’s get this thing unplugged right I’ll tell you what that Fan’s making some noise but that’s got to go back into Porsche to have that replaced let’s pop this one back right so there you go that was the Tesla supercharg Network being used by a non- Tesla car uh in the UK uh pretty good to be fair uh to be honest 57 minutes though wasted of my time and I had to use the toilet in a service station so yet again electric cars are they really the future and have we got that much time to waste if you value your time you probably better off just filling it up with diesel and getting on your way anyway that’s all for me today do give us a thumbs up what an

    1. Absolutely love this one 😂👏👏 a funny one 👍(one of us one of us, its for the greater good) and where are them tissues 🤣😂 well done Lee

    2. Its been like that for years here in Sweden, its ok, we can afford to share. I think you actually gotten dogging status at this point…😂

    3. Must watch! Grass is always greener!! Qr has gotten so expensive & traffic is interesting. I used Ariana. Fantastic. I lost Paul after he sold his condo-but his website was fantastic. Very valuable intel. I’ve seen many many come back after buying. A lot of marketing in many areas enticing people to “escape “. The biggest thing is many think you’ll meet tons of people but in reality it’s a very small community who are there when you are there and you can feel alone. Being American or Canadian is not always looked upon as an endearing quality. I’ve heard of the honey pot marriages.

    4. I must admit, you are funny. A total numbnut but funny. I play all your Tesla abuse to my wife, she said doggie is much more popular in England. We use vegimite in Australia 🦘🦘.

    5. Petrol cars are more of a fire risk but, that is not the issue. Petrol cars do not catch fire unexpectedly when stopped and they can be put out whereas electric cars cannot. Calling the car's zero emission at the tailpipe is just nonsense where the power station is belching out the exhaust. All it is doing is moving to another place and because you can't see it, people think it isn't there any more. What about the people who live near to the power station? You hit the nail right on the head when you said why would you buy an Apple Computer? No need for any more than that.

    6. Just put 25l of petrol into my Niro Hybrid at a cost of £35 that should get me the 250 miles back from Christchurch to Leeds with 5l to spare. Exactly why I will not be buying an EV for a few more years.

    7. Don’t like the idea of these out of the way charging stations ie a closed garden centre’s car park, you might not except £30,000 for you Porsche but Mr car jacker would, and that statement made by the Tesla owner each car has its own chip, spy in the cab gets a new meaning, that means your bank details are world wide.

    8. You would have got near 150KW if your car had the DC booster specified. Since it seems you don't your limited to 50KW on 400v chargers with the tycan.

      I've had just over 200KW charging on tesla superchargers. That really cuts the charging time

    9. tesla is sharing their network because not enough people have bought Teslas and the ones that do have home charging, so to get some money back they have shared the network to other manufacturers, if more people had Teslas and the chargers were very busy they wouldnt have shared it – the EV dream is falling apart

    10. You won’t be driving straight through Wetherby soon when we get our ‘Wetherby Spoons’ open. Apparently it’s all back on so that might not please the natives lol. I’m sure you’ll be popping in for a taster when it’s up & running 🍻😉

    11. Haha! I've just stumbled on your videos and saw the massive loss you've made on your Taycan in a previous video. Sad, but proves the point that 'you should have bought a Tesla'! My black M3LR cost just under £50k new, and we leased it through a salary sacrifice scheme, which cost just over £500/month. The 3 years are up in June. We've done just under 20k miles, which has cost just under £700 for electricity. The lease company paid for a new set of tyres last month, which would have cost about £900, and Tesla came to the house to 'service' the car after 2 years and replaced the pollen filter. Probably cost the lease company another few hundred pounds. We've been offered the car for just over £24k, which we will be buying as it's in excellent condition after taking good care of it over the last 3 years. I'm not sure it's quite as good as the Lancia Delta I drove for 3 years, but it is an amazing car in a very different way. So, mock Tesla and EVs all you like, but the reality is you bought the wrong one, and if you choose wisely, owning an EV is a joy and also makes great financial sense. Just to add some balance.

    12. Actually when using V4s (the black ones at the start of your video), you're not blocking anyone. Its probs slow because you started at 90%….
      They are upgrading most of them now to avoid the blocking issue/ short cable. And in any case… Id just queue up and wait, not such a big deal….

      Also, opening it up to everyone isnt a sign of trouble to the public.. Its a sign of trouble to the big oil financed charger boys who are rinsing the general public at their 80p+ charging networks…. Its a good thing, hopefully the competition will reduce their prices too…

    13. Interesting, you have discovered a new way of moaning and complaining. You now create on behalf of Tesla owners and your blocking their chargers. This channel does need a rename to include the word "whinger".

    14. Porsche recalls thousands of Taycans over faulty batteries
      German sports carmaker Porsche on Thursday confirmed it had recalled several thousand of its electric Taycan model because of risks their batteries could catch fire.
      Faulty cells in some batteries could short-circuit and ignite, a spokesperson said.
      Some 858 Taycans were initially identified as being at risk and recalled in January, but after further checks the company determined that further vehicles could also be affected.
      Porsche said 2,936 of the sporty four-door cars showed “anomalies”, which requires changing the modules on the 600-kilogram (1,300-pound) batteries housed under the car.
      Another 4,522 Taycans have not been inspected and must be brought to repair shops for verification.
      Renault, Ford and General Motors have all recently had to recall models due to defective batteries.

    15. Well looking at the number of cars on the road on the bank holiday weekend down here in Dorset, if they intend to get us all off the roads they have one hell of a task ahead of them. They simply cant do it – the public will rebel.

    16. It might be a good idea not to use any charging stations tomorrow the 11th. There have been 5 CMEs three of which are due to arrive as a single Cannibal CME.
      From the Web
      CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun’s corona. They cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth. Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.

      Your iPhone App may not function correctly apart from anything else. On the plus side there may be some impressive Aurora

    17. So Alderhay Hospital ordered to update the sprinkler system in its enclosed carpark due to the destruction of the Luton Airport carpark fire . which was caused by a 12 volt battery arc igniting the combustable diesel fuel tank in a non EV Range Rover that quickly spread to the fuel tanks of the neighbouring vehicles .

    18. Another advantage of Tesla superchargers not many know about: they only debit your account for full kWh delivered: you always get up to 900Wh free with every charge.
