If only Musk wasnt Musk i might have gotten a Tesla. Now, Ive been watching to see how Lucid Air performs, maybe grab one of those in a few more years

Exactly. I’m eyeing Volvo / Polestar for my next ride. Although, not having full access to Telsa’s charging network is a big bummer. So many non-Telsa chargers are slow and busted.

IMHO, the charging network is actually Telsa’s most compelling feature.

Yeah, but I was referring to the full network. Isn’t this just partial access?

What vehicles can charge at what Tesla Superchargers?

There are 3 types of Tesla Superchargers:

Tesla-only Superchargers, which only work for Tesla vehicles.

All EVs Superchargers, which are available for all EVs to charge with a “Magic Dock” adapter that is provided at the charging post.

NACS Superchargers, which will become available gradually, by vehicle manufacturer, and can be accessed through an adapter. The adapter has to be provided by your vehicle manufacturer. For new vehicles that are NACS-equipped, no adapter will be necessary.

Edit: here is the charging network map. Notice that the network for non-Telsa NACS cars is smaller than the full network.

Polestar falls under the 3rd bullet point and will have full supercharger access.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Bullet 3 is not access to the full network. It’s only partial access.

Here is the map. https://www.tesla.com/findus

Not all super chargers are open to non-Telsa NACS cars.

Lucid’s are way better. Almost mid 90s Lexus levels of build quality and the chassis on the Air is truly a next gen Model S. Lucid was founded by a lot of former Tesla engineers and designers who left for… reasons, to go make their own company.
