  2. Biden should be deeply embarrassed for his comments "You led Mary, you electrified the entire industry" Complete BS and patently untrue. Tesla led and is the leader. It is way past time for the Biden Administration to acknowledge Tesla for its clear leadership and accomplishments.

  3. If only we could get the EU to introduce NACS as a standard. Should that happen, I will gladly pay to change my CCS connector on my Tesla to NACS 🙂

    However, I would like to emphasize that the CCS plug works perfectly on a Supercharger today, it is only because the design in NACS is more contemporary.

  4. NACS becoming the standard is fantastic but I'm not convinced Ford and GM getting access to Superchargers is good.
    Tesla has a reliable, widespread network but what's gonna happen when the usage suddenly spikes? If lines become too long, we'll just have no reliable networks.
    For years now Tesla has been flush with cash and still hasn't been expanding the network capacity in line with increasing demand. I don't see any reason getting more excess cash, from Ford and GM, will change that. I see is GM/Ford getting a sweet deal but Tesla owners getting screwed. We need to see a massive ramp in Supercharger installations or EV adoption, Tesla customers in particular, will suffer.

  5. Charging networks are announcing their support for NACS. However, the problem is that they're not seeing the real problem with public EV charging, which their charging equipment and network not the plug type.

  6. I am shocked to hear that Jesse doesn't think that GM cares about us Bolt owners. Of course, he's right, and I expect to pay about $200 for a GM-branded NACS to CCS adapter sometime next year. All for the priviledge of pissing off Tesla owners by charging my bolt for 45 minutes (from 10% to 80%). At least I'll be able to charge my car in Ohio now.

  7. Someone needs to remind our stupid government that the CCS plugs work 50-60% of the time, unless it’s frigid (5°F / -15°C), then they don’t work at all; meanwhile, Tesla’s NACS works 95+% of the time in all weather! And that there are far more Teslas and Superchargers than all of the other EV’s & high speed chargers combined!

  8. Forgive me if I’m wrong…. You both came across more free flowing and natural rather than (and this is where I could be wrong) pre-scripted reading from a screen. Bullet points only allowing your natural styles (which are genuinely awesome ) to shine. And great job to the editors. Well done to all.

    Now you know…😂

  9. While I completely agree with you guys that CCS1 is a pile of sh1t, you may not be clear that the CCS2 tesla connector mostly still looks like the NACS with just a small bulge at the bottom for the DC part.

    Not saying that is perfect at all. I have used the NACS connector at least 30 times last year in the US and found no big difference with that to our CCS2 in Australia. And Jesse, your comment about NACS being the most common in the world….. well maybe not, CCS2 would have to be the most common in the world, NACS is only in the US with a tiny tiny number of original model S and X that had to use adapters outside US in the first few years.

  10. Gm! Hmmm? Pay me the obscene salary of $29 million dollars a year even with declining vehicle sales every year since 2016, plants closings, layoffs, a series of fines and lawsuits, invested money in Nikola Motors, discontinued models like the Chevy Bolt and have not produced a minimum number of EVs, continuing problems with batteries after numerous recalls on the Chevy Bolt said GM would have 18 different EV models but currently only have 4 in production, stock price continues to decline, borrowed more money from the government, have not paid off previous loan from the government, what do you think I would say?!!! Things are getting better?! LOL! Just keep paying me the obscene salary of $29 million a year! The new models are coming! My name is Mary BS Barra! I’m the CEO of GM, suckers!

  11. Funny that the breakthrough in NAS being used by GM as well is reported on from Netherlands, Europe where CCS2 has been working very well and will not be replaced. Once again the US will have a standard that no other part of the world will be using 😮

  12. Europe demanded that all chargers use CCS, and Tesla uses the CSS protocols under the hood. That's why you can use a simple conversion of a couple of wires to make a converter. Tesla uses CCS already inside their cars but didn't want to give up on the charger port, because that would cost more money to sort out correctly. With the switch over internally everything speaks CCS already so you're basically talking about the shape of the plug, you'd be switching away from J1772 handles not CCS which is the protocol.

    The bigger required changes are pay at the pump, and ensuring open interoperability between different apps. My best guess is that Ford and GM are actually going to bootstrap their EVs with the Tesla's charging network. But, really not have a dog in the hunt and if CCS chargers eventually get more common or they could install both types of ports and wait for the wars to die down, since all you need on the car side is to accept whatever type of plug being offered it leads to the potential of just building an adapter charge-port to be plugged in next to the charge port, or potentially make the charge port itself exchangeable.

  13. Let Tesla get paid by ford and Gm and let ford and Gm charge their customers the extra premium at the electric pumps lol
    Ford and Gm can make their money back from what they pay Tesla 😂

  14. As far as I understand it, the Tesla Plug can only handle 1 phase AC, so it‘s fine for the US.
    In Europe, where we have a 3 phase AC net, this would limit AC charging to a third of it‘s charging power capability, that would be not so good.

  15. Tesla charging stations are akin to Tesla showrooms, populated by Tesla products and salespeople (owners). And soon everyone will have to visit just to refuel their cars. I love it.

  16. Aloha. Tesla will have to help and legacy ICE with the software for the NACS. The handshake, coordination of charging protocols on NON-Tesla, APPS to find best locations and reserve slots , etc.
    seamless integration of software and hardware is a Tesla advantage.
    I bet Tesla Mike’s more $ on CCS attachments at superchargers since US Gov is paying some X dollars for each of those.
    Added network users will add efficiency of scale and improve Tesla profit margin on charging.

  17. Zack and Jesse love the show and all the updates you provide. Just have to say that while I have the same concerns as many about sharing Tesla charging stations with other auto makers, I am more concerned about the CyberTruck (which I am also on the waiting list) pulling in on each side of me while I am in my model 3. These parking spaces are tight enough when all the spots are filled. CyberTruck will be very tight and make difficult not only for themselves but also the cars parked on each side of them. Better be prepared for those door dings/damages😬
