Tesla UMC Universal Mobile Connector Charger Versus Alternative EVSE
This video provides a detailed comparison between Tesla's Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) and an alternative Type 2 Portable EV Charger from EVS... moreE Australia. The reviewer highlights that the Tesla UMC is no longer included with new vehicle purchases, necessitating a look at alternatives. Key differences lie in pricing, features, and ecosystem integration. The Tesla UMC, priced at $550 AUD, comes with two tails (8A and 12A) and a carry case, but is currently experiencing a firmware bug limiting charging to 8A or 12A, preventing the use of 10A or 15A. The EVSE alternative, priced at $407 AUD (with a discount code), offers a 5m cable, 8A charging, an LCD display, app connectivity for control and data export, and compatibility with non-Tesla EVs. While the EVSE unit lacks a dedicated case and a second tail, its lower price, app functionality, and data export capabilities make it a compelling option, especially for those without access to 15A sockets. The reviewer notes the convenience of the UMC's button for opening the charge flap and stopping charging, a feature absent in the EVSE unit. less

2023 Tesla Model Y Efficiency Is Worse Than Model 3 (But Not By Much!)
This video details a 1700km round trip road test between a 2023 Tesla Model 3 and a 2023 Tesla Model Y, both rear-wheel drive LFP variants, from Sydne... morey to the Gold Coast. The primary focus is on comparing their real-world efficiency. The reviewer found that the Model 3 achieved a slightly better efficiency (145 Wh/km) compared to the Model Y (153 Wh/km) over the journey. This difference was attributed partly to the Model Y covering more distance for local travel on the Gold Coast, while the Model 3 remained parked. The video also includes an experiment on battery preconditioning for supercharging, suggesting that while it can be beneficial in cold conditions or with low state of charge, its impact is less significant in temperate weather and at higher states of charge, with the non-preconditioned Model 3 even catching up to and surpassing the Model Y's charging rate at times. The reviewer also noted the Model Y's projected range at 100% charge was 435km, while the Model 3's was 439km. Sentry mode drain was also discussed, showing a loss of approximately 7% per day.
