The reviewer's first Supercharging experience with the Tesla Model X Plaid began with a frustratingly slow charge at station 3A, pulling only 65 kW. This prompted a move to a different stall (1B), which immediately resolved the issue, yielding impressive charging speeds peaking at 256 kW. The reviewer highlights the Model X's superior charging curve compared to the Model Y, maintaining high power delivery deeper into the charge cycle. Despite the initial hiccup, the Model X Plaid is praised for its excellent charging performance, making it a strong contender for road trips. The video also notes the accuracy of the vehicle's charging time estimator. The key takeaway is that while Tesla Superchargers are generally reliable, users should not hesitate to move stalls if experiencing poor performance.
