Tesla to Patrons: Stop Complaining About Chargers, You Muppets
Well then, Tesla’s back at it. The electric vehicle big shots have taken a jab at their users, telling them to quit their whining about charging problems. You’d assume people would be thrilled with a top-notch electric motor, but evidently not. So, what’s the word?
Owners Using Damp Towels on Handles
Looks like some Tesla enthusiasts believe they’ve discovered a trick to power up their vehicles by draping damp towels over the charger handles. Yes, you heard that correctly. Damp towels. On electric chargers. Brilliant, right? It’s not just ridiculous, but Tesla’s having none of it, cautioning that this could wreck the Supercharger stations.
Warning of Damage
Tesla has issued a caution for these smart cookies: knock it off or you’ll ruin the cables. They contend that this absurd method might hasten the charging process, but at the risk of damaging the equipment. You’d think some common sense would prevail, but apparently, it flowed down the river with this crew.
Temperature Issues
So, what’s the situation with the temperature? Tesla’s charging cables and handles aren’t meant to function in severe conditions. When it’s too chilly, charging can slow down. Hence the bright idea to warm things up with damp towels. But instead of this DIY blunder, Tesla’s suggesting folks to be patient or relocate to a warmer area. Best of luck with that in good old England.
The Optimal Way to Charge
Now for the sensible suggestion part, or as I like to call it: stating the obvious. Tesla recommends parking your vehicle in a garage or utilizing the preconditioning feature to heat the battery before heading to a Supercharger. Straightforward, isn’t it? No towels required, just a touch of patience and perhaps a brew while you wait.
Method seems to enhance charging but could harm cables
Tesla has urged owners to refrain from placing damp towels on handles to expedite the charging process, warning that this can damage its Supercharger stations. Perhaps next time, consider before you pull out the towels.
Conclusion
So there you go, everyone. Tesla’s had to put up yet another notice pointing out the glaringly obvious. Let’s hope people grasp the message and keep the towels where they truly belong – in the washroom!
