Gruber Motor Company
In this video, we offer advice on how to take care of the main battery in your Electric Vehicle.
The battery extending tips and tricks, apply to not only Tesla vehicles featured in this video, but any EV currently being produced.
A clear departure from the traditional lead acid wet cells so prevalent for the last 150 years, the new higher energy density Li-Ion cells are much more powerful, cleaner, and lower on maintenance. We explore the care and keeping of this revolutionary new technology, instrumental and vital to the success of the ongoing transportation revolution.

Thank-you Pete.
I am Tesla model Y owner; and I am strongly recommend don’t buy any TESLA, as the battery sucks you in 6 months no matter what. I am very frustrated with TESLA
This gentlemen explained the usage of Tesla batteries so well I had to watch it twice
😂😂😂😂😂😂 in a few words don’t drive your Tesla
Very good points/video, thanks!
Use super charge properly ?
How ?
I charge my 2023 MY 80% and don’t recharge it until the battery drops to 30%. Is it a good practice?
Here is the ultimate truth, just drive and charge however you want, sell before 8 years or 120k miles. You'll all be fine.
What about super charging to 80 percent?
If you own a EV and have to take it in, when the mechanic says “ oh, it’s just the battery” suddenly that phrase takes on a whole new meaning! 😳😳😩😩
best video on tesla batteries
So Supercharging is bad but how about rapid 50kw chargers, i understand that best charging practice is 80% at 7-11kw
what do you do when you run out of gas middle of nowhere? 🤷♂
That was so funny with the EV skeptic popping up everywhere. Good advice on charging. It would be good to add tips for appartment dwellers on how to get L2 charging at home, work, or other places.
Besides Teslas have very loud cabins. Road and air noise is very high.
I really like the Uncle Chet video clips on what not to do, lol.
Great content. One word of advice. Some folks watch these videos with headphones so the sudden blast of high volume music at the end is more than just startling.
LFP don't need to stay at 80% or do you recommend as well ?
The same problems you have on a cell phone, brought to you to the commodity of your car
Why always the sunnies?
I get it, in other words, don't buy an EV.
Here's a free tip…don't buy a electric car. It is still in it's infancy development. Batteries have been know to explode. The most common problem, batteries don't last as long as they should, and last, they have limited range. STAY FOSSIL FUEL cars and trucks. Reliable and easy to fix.
I've seen data that charging exclusively by supercharging is not hugely detrimental vs slow level 1/2 charging. The two biggest factors affecting battery is age and temp (worst is heat). So don't sweat it if you only supercharge because you don't have a home charger. The vast data tells us it's ok.
Nice intro!!!
It is good to mention the Nissan LEAF has no Battery Thermal Management. Their batteries lose capacity the fastest.
The Tesla and chevy Bolt batteries hold up the best. They are some of the few that cool even when off and not plugged it. That is important. Tesla is the only battery that pre conditions on the way to a Super Charger if you use their nav to get there.
What about the lfp batteries in the model 3? bad to charge to full?
The battery pack of an EV is so heavy that it's equal to the weight of six adults that's before the real passengers sit in. The US government will "surprisingly" announce later the repair cost of roads and bridges have tripled because of the impact the millions of EVs have had on the infrastructure not to mention ecological disaster that is involved in making and dumping the EV batteries.
FUN FACT:
If we take curb weight to be 25% extra for Telsa Model S compared to Toyota Camry thats 550 kilograms or 1200 lb which is the weight of SIX Americans on diet 🤣🤣🤣
Great video as always! My concerns is with home charging is that where I live there is no night tariff and now it’s 30p so it’s like 40 cent/kW which its insane.
My MS is free supercharging and I live close to a supercharger.
I think 20% to 50 or 60% sessions without preconditioning won’t do that much harm because the heat is the problem, so if you charge it quickly preferably not from low state of charge, you put less stress on the battery.
I think the best if you have solar and you charge it during the day on a slow charger.
What is about LFP battery in Model 3 ? Tesla recomends to Charge always to 100 % ? What is about high tempartures an charging to 100 % SOC with LFP Battery? Thank you / viele Grüße aus Deutschland
