TESLA DRIVER WARNS AGAINST CHARGING NEXT TO A CYBERTRUCK
These high-powered and fast-charging stations—effectively the analog to a traditional gas station for the high-tech cars—may provide a different experience to drivers if they choose to charge at the same time as a higher-powered Cybertruck, as this Tesla driver found.
In a viral video shared to TikTok, user @1motatt says his Tesla’s estimated time to fully charge shot up to over five hours after a Cybertruck pulled in to the charging station.
Unless they are the Supercharger V3, when multiple vehicles are plugged in at the station, they will effectively split the charging power, prolonging the amount of time it will take to fully juice up the vehicles.
So, @1motatt’s slowed experience isn’t particular to the Cybertruck next to him—any Tesla vehicle would split the charging power on an older Supercharger station.
