A popular 'hack' among Tesla owners involves using a wet towel to supposedly speed up charging by tricking the charger's temperature sensors.
Tesla has issued a warning against this practice, stating that it does not actually increase charging speed and can even be dangerous by interfering with temperature monitoring.
While the towel might feel cool to the touch, it can hinder the charger's ability to regulate temperature, potentially causing overheating and damage.
Tesla recommends sticking to standard charging methods to ensure the safety and optimal performance of its systems.
