To charge my 2023 Model YP ? I worry because the charge limit on the Tesla app only goes up to 48A. If it can be done safely , this is the type of adapter I need , correct ? TIA.

Can I safely use the 80A Ford Charge Station Pro........

1) Yes.
2) No need to worry. The car pulls the power, the EVSE doesn't push it. The EVSE's primary role is to set an upper limit to charging to ensure that a car can't overload the circuit. That's not a problem here.
3) You use the J1772 adapter that came with your car. (The adapter you linked to is for high-power DC fast charging to allow a Tesla to use a CCS charger.)

It will work just fine. The car and charging equipment negotiate the max rate each is capable of.
No, that’s for DC fast charging. All you need is the J1772 adapter that came with your car.
My 2023 MYP delivered in August 2023 came with a J1772 adapter in one of the wheel wells or one of the trunk compartments.
Sorry, there is some misinformation here. You CANNOT use a regular j1772 adapter with the 80A ford power station pro. The power station pro uses the CCS DC fast charge pins for the vehicle-to-home capabilities.
I believe that some people have already tried using a CCS adapter with a Tesla and it does not work.

Took delivery of my MY in May 2023, it had one. I knew to look for it, found it in one on the rear side pockets with the front license plate holder.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t realize it used the CCS form factor for the V2H stuff.
Makes me curious how it all works honestly… does the truck just send DC power out the battery? Is there an inverter in the charge station pro? Is it sending AC over the DC pins? Interesting.
Yes FatFalcon , you are correct . the J1772 adapter I have won't even attach to the Ford Pro . see pics . ( not sure why pics won't show , I'm computer illiterate , pretty much , sorry ) . I ordered a CCS adaptor , regardless. Worse case , I'll return it if it doesn't work.
Thanks.
However, the Internet says it is possible:
Ford Charger Pro Station not charging my wife's tesla
Got my Station Pro installed this week. Works perfect on my lightning, but not I’m not being able to charge my wife’s Tesla. I have a J1772 to tesla adapter. Did some plastic trimming on it to fit on the charger CCS connector. It fits on it, but I tried to charge the tesla and I gives an error...
www.f150lightningforum.com
Summary:
(1) Trim some plastic off the Tesla J1772 adapter so that it can attach to the plug.
(2) If it doesn't charge, set the Tesla to 36A max.
The Ford Charge Station Pro is a unique animal. There’s no other EVSE like it being sold since it has a full CCS connector rather than a J1772 connector. Personally, I would install a separate EVSE for a second EV and not bother with jumping through hoops trying to charge a Tesla from it. From that thread, it seems like it is not reliable using adapters.
