What is the latest about charging adaptors? I have a 2013S. I've been told my model doesn't support CCS. Does anyone know if it will support CHAdeMO?
I bought the car used and it has a 90Kwh battery (which is not the original 75) but the manual says I'm not CCS compatible. It says nothing about CHAdeMO. I see Tesla now sells a CHAdeMO adaptor on its website but says the car has to be supercharge enabled. If I'm charging at Tesla's chargers, am I not supercharging enabled?
A year ago I bought someone's CCS adaptor, which I wasn't aware at the time isn't supposed to work. However, it did work - sometimes. The Korean company who made it would send out firmware that would make it work. Then Tesla would do an update and it wouldn't. I've heard Tesla intends to make CCS charging available for older cars but it would require a software update. No one, even at my local Tesla service center, can tell me if that's true or if it is when it will happen.
I really want the option to find nonSuperchargers on trips, due to the distances in the west not covered by Tesla. I'd happily sell my CCS adaptor and get a CHAdeMO if someone could tell me if it would work. Or if someone could convince me my CCS adaptor will work in the future all the time.
Anyone have any insight into all of this?
