@DeedWest As far as adapters, my car came with quite a few things that all look foreign to me.

Hi GT10, hope things are going well on your car.

There are pics of the Tesla-made connectors & adapters here - this can help ID what you have already:

I agree with the advice you've gotten above - the adapter to Model S/X from hcsharp ("Can SR") will allow you to connect the Roadster to Tesla's destination chargers, which are usually the fastest way to charge away from home. Depending on volts/amps of the installation, up to 40-50 miles per hour of charging, though some are a bit slower. These charging stations are marked on Tesla's website.

A J1772 adapter will let you connect to the most common stations used by other EVs. Most of these add about 13-15 miles per hour of charging. The J1772 adapter from hcsharp ("Can JR") is more compact and than Tesla's, but either will work.

The Can SR will also allow stacking with the Model S/X mobile connector, if you need to adapt to other standard electrical outlets:

(Roadster mobile connector cables and adapters can be harder to get and/or more expensive to replace).

Good luck and welcome!
