True, true. Some people have suggested that because Harumio (purchasing/shipping business in Korea) has recently been unable to get CCS1 (and CHAdeMO) adapters from Tesla-South Korea to send to North American customers, it may mean that Tesla is finally preparing to release the CCS1 adapter for sale directly to NA drivers. I hope so, but then again this may only be wishful thinking. As always, we just have to wait and see.
Good deal. Congratulations. You lucked out. (Now you can sell it for $1,000 on Eek! Bay.)
Wow, haven't seen that yet but the "sold" listings show around $500 to $775 in just the last few days, be interesting to see how high they go!

In my experience, the text message summary that electrify america sends you when the charging is complete, is by far more accurate than what is displayed in the charging history within the app.
My assumption on how EA derived the "215kw" number is by taking the max pack voltage and multiplying it by the maximum amps the dispenser can provide.
In my vehicles case my max pack voltage is only 403, so at 500 amps at best I'd only receive 201kw.

All of these summaries are within about 1-3kw of what was reported by ScanMyTesla.
Since teslafi only polls every minute, they don't always catch the peak, if it lasts for less than one minute.

I seriously doubt it will be offered in the US until the government mandates CCS as a national standard. Once that happens, Tesla will offer retrofits. (I hope I am wrong, but that is basically what happened in Europe)
Don't see prices going down as long as access to the adapters from SK is cut off and it remains unavailable for order stateside.
Now I'm wishing I had ordered an extra adapter (or 10 lol).
Wish I saw this earlier. I either didn't get one of these foam things or I threw it out with the box it came in. Was this provided in the case or just in the delivery box somewhere?
Anyone know where I could buy one of these things? When I used the adapter i noticed that it puts a lot of strain on the charge port. This foam thing is a great idea.

The EU doesn't like to pick winners, but the US detests it. I would be shocked if the US ever says that Lightning cables must go let alone Superchargers. Even when the US gives rebates and tax breaks to encourage certain behavior it bites them in the butt (see the Solyndra scandal)
Now with all the cash going out the door for a High Speed Charging Network it won't be the US picking winners, it may just be rescuing losers somewhat. In the unlikely event that Tesla gets none of these funds it will continue to have large profits to support the expansion of the Supercharger network, while EA only has the Dieselgate money to seed it's operation and any issues like high energy costs have to be worked out in their business model. The other charging companies struggle to get equipment and repairs financed, often buoyed by grant programs that provide seed money but not recurring financing when someone comes and cuts the cables off the stations or drives over the connectors left on the ground.
As more and more decent EVs come from companies other than Tesla we are starting to see activity at 3P chargers but there are often days where many new Superchargers go online, all with large numbers of stalls that charge at 250kWs each. Meanwhile the biggest trend in CCS charging is the one off 24kW stalls located at the dealer or a fast food restaurant. You will not be done charging after you finish your Happy Meal.

There's supposedly now a US-based third-party adapter, which if it works would help provide another option. Someone here was part of testing it and said it worked OK, but...it'll have to be seen.
Possibly, but lots of people will still put a premium on getting an "official" Tesla product versus a 3rd party version.CCS Combo 1 Adapter - Up To 250kW Charging Speeds - A2Z Thunderstorm Plug - Fast Charge Adapter For Tesla Model S, 3, X & Y - Free Hard Case & Locking Pin

More than likely you didn't have one in your shipment. They weren't included until recently. After asking about them, Harumio sent me a few. Want one (brown, black, or white)? PM me to arrange.
It’s not quite that grim. GM is helping fund 2,000 “ultra-fast” EVgo chargers at 500 Pilot and Flying J truck stops.

I expect we will see more of this in the next few years.
And who can read Korean....there doesn't appear to be an English translation of that page.
Even if you could read Korean and fill in the address for your forwarding company, they're as far as I know only taking South Korean credit cards and they're canceling suspicious orders. It's basically impossible to order the adapter directly from Tesla SK unless you have a South Korean address and credit card.And who can read Korean....there doesn't appear to be an English translation of that page.
