OUR FIRST MACH-E TESLA CHARGING ISSUES ON A SANTA YSABEL DAY TRIP

EV Channels Review

This video documents a day trip to Santa Ysabel where the hosts encountered unexpected issues at a Tesla Supercharger. Despite having the necessary adapter, they experienced a "janky" handle that struggled to lock in, leading to slow charging speeds (34 kW) on one of the V3 stalls, which was also noted as being derated. Compounding the problem, another stall was completely out of order. The hosts highlight that simply gaining access to the Tesla network doesn't eliminate charging challenges, especially at busy locations where queues can form and non-Tesla vehicles might face uncertainty about their place in line. While they ultimately managed to get a partial charge, the experience underscored the need for reliable infrastructure and functional equipment, even on a network as established as Tesla's. The video also touches on the importance of adapter compatibility and the ongoing expansion of charging options.
