Very impressive! We have 20 urban here in Skokie, IL and I can't imagine them being full for the next five years.

The Tesla shop website still lists this in the listing for the chademo adapter:
"The Model S/X CHAdeMO Adapter is not currently supported by Model 3."
I'm waiting for the day this statement changes.

No luck with version 9...

This is HUUUUuuuuuge news. The car actually knows what a CHAdeMO adaptor is.
A couple weeks ago Tesla customer service told me that they are working towards making ChadeMo work on the 3s.

they've been saying that since January.
All we know it will come, when exactly, we'll never know.

I think it will maybe arrive in 3 months, 6 months definitely
"This year", like the cross country autonomous car demonstration in 2017.I think it will maybe arrive in 3 months, 6 months definitely
So the question is: do I buy one now and wait until they enable it, or wait until it works and there is a sudden huge demand?
The problem is we don't know if they will make the current 50kW CHAdeMO adapter work with the Model 3 or if they are planning to create a new one that supports higher charge rates, maybe 150kW, that will support the Model 3.
In other words there is no guarantee that the current one will ever work with the Model 3. So I would wait.

Tesla Parts Catalogs Now open to public! : teslamotors
On the recently opened parts catalog, someone spied that the chademo adapter is on the parts list for the model 3. So it looks like it is still coming sometime in the future hopefully...

Or they could be making a CCS adapter for the whole lineup. I doubt they'd make one Frankenstein adapter for both. Looking into a crystal ball it's hard to imagine what would be better right now. I'd be fine with 50kW either way though.
Wait.
Or pickup a used one now and hope. Lots of folks purchased with new car only to find they don’t need them. I got one for ~ $275. Of course, I have an S and haven’t ever used the adapter in 9 months of owning it... so I may put up for sale too
Have any beta testers for Model 3 CHAdeMO been spotted this year?
Except for pre-production cars last year, I don't recall seeing any report of actual Model 3 CHAdeMo charging.
Many beta testers were spotted at CHAdeMO stations in the months leading up to the release of the adapter in 2015.

I really hope they will make a CCS adapter. I think it will be much more useful than Chademo within a year or so. The Electrify America chargers are starting to go online now and most have 7 CCS stations per location. That would be a nice backup for overcrowded Superchargers.
