Sorry, not true at ALL! The PlugShare maps does not show all the stations when zoomed out. Just look at SoCal and then zoom in. Your map shows none.Here's all of the CHAdeMO and CCS stations today
In 5 years when EVs are much more popular than they are today there will be a ton of CCS out there and Tesla is probably going to have CCS SuperChargers in North America anyway -- it doesn't make much sense for them to have the rest of the world on a common standard, their new European cars use that Standard they would be foolish to not support it.
Not sure what difference this makes when it comes to DC charging. Tesla's current Superchargers in Europe are incompatible with CCS just as they are here (which is why they have to convert the European Superchargers to a dual-headed configuration to support the Model 3). The only difference is that European Model S/X don't need an adapter for AC charging.The issue is that CCS is different in North America than in Europe (and many other parts of the world). In N.A., Tesla has its own charging port which is incompatible with CCS. In Europe, Tesla just had to add the extra 2 large DC power pins to their current port as they were already on the standard for Level 2.

... or have 2 charging ports on the car. One Tesla port as they have today, and one Type1/J1772/CCS Combo 1. Old cars should get adapters for Type 1/CCS Combo 1 and/or ChaDemo. From what I have read the Type 1/J1772 adapter have been delivered with the car the hole time.In the U.S., to convert to CCS Combo, they will need to replace the current connectors on every car and every supercharger which means everyone will need to replace all their HPWCs/UMCs (or Tesla will need to come up with their own "TeslaTap adapter").
No, that is not the case. It would require high-load switching circuitry in the car and would violate the CCS standard.Also, now that the 3 has the combo port, you could technically just keep using the original Supercharger cable and plug it into the top half of the Model 3’s CCS plug (and allow the 3s to immediately charge at all existing locations before the CCS upgrades roll out)
Yes, but the same is true for the European Model S/X. You could argue that it would be more expensive in the US due to the fact that many more cars with the Tesla port have been sold, but technically it's not much different.Adding the CCS combo to their European cars does not affect their current L2 setup/charging. In the U.S., to convert to CCS Combo, they will need to replace the current connectors on every car
it didn't work
We are not sure why the service centre in California would say it does work.
Sorry about the poor experience.
It is better to ask here first. New level-one support agents don't have nearly the experience as users here.
It amazes me about how many issues the phone support at Tesla is wrong most of the time.The Tesla rep said only if it’s Gen2! Apparently she explained there are new Chademo adapters that are Gen2 that work with Model 3.
She said Gen2 is engraved on the adapter and it also says it on the box. (Our Chademos are Gen1)
Then she called me back and checked with a “California” Service centre that told her even Gen1 should work on Model 3.

I agree. It was so specific that is was probably correct, just unreleased yet. Maybe today? hahaYes, that's an unfortunate response from them, though it does give me hope that something is on the horizon, perhaps a software update not yet released. The information was oddly specific.
There is a certain notorious word about scheduling that is coming to mind.just unreleased yet. Maybe today? haha
I agree. It seems like it’s not hard for them to come up with a script for questions that keep coming up rather than let people run amok. The forums combined with Elon’s twitter feed are the best sources of info. My SC even admitted as much to me and o appreciated their honesty.It amazes me about how many issues the phone support at Tesla is wrong most of the time.
"Gen2" would imply that hardware changes would be required.I agree. It was so specific that is was probably correct, just unreleased yet. Maybe today? haha
