OOSM got 216kW on their Model S Plaid at a EA station that was just updated to their new gen chargers:

You could be right. So maybe something on the adapter pin is indeed a better idea. I haven't yet had a chance to look into it.
Plaid has higher charging voltage. Assuming EA station is 500A, this means they can reach 233kw on a 540a CCS station. Hope we can see someone does that. Many new EVgo 350kw stations are 540a Delta brand chargers.

Has anyone tried the official shipped from Tesla North America CCS adapter in the case from Harum (this one: Tesla Model 3/Y SEXY BAG CCS Combo 1 Adapter Case I’m sure it’s a perfect fit but would like some confirmation from someone who’s actually tried before I order.
It should fit since it fit the Korean Tesla CCS adapter which is exactly the same as the Tesla one (I have both). but that case you linked to us out of stock, you can probably do a custom order from Harumio for one but it is $60 instead of $45.

Well on the weekend I did a road trip and ended up using the adapter twice. Both time is would not lock to the handle.
I was able to put my fingers on the locking pin and move it 1/4" to 5/16" further in and that locked the handle in place.
Knowing that I need a good 1/4 or more, I don't think my idea of felt stick on would work as it may impede the closing of the door.
I may try and put something on the pin to extend it, like a rigid plastic piece of tubing.
I'm wondering if there is any difference of the pin length between Korean adapter and the one made for the US market?

I'm new to this thread, but here is my experience on a May 22 Model S Long Range:
I have the OEM adapter ordered via SK and the Harumio case fits SSC adapter perfectly. Seems like the spot for the J1772 is bigger than it needs to be but it still fits.

Some kind of spacer. I don't even remember if it came with the adapter or the case. When you plug the adapter into the car it doesn't seat all the way in. I have yet to bother with the spacer, you don't need it to use the adapter.

I have the issue fixed for me.
I added a small length of polyethylene tubing to the locking pin.
I used 1/4" OD x .17" ID and it fit very snug.
The CCS handle locked on and I was not able to push in the handle release button with the adapter plugged into the car.
Out of Spec released a video where they show a Model S Plaid getting 257kW when using the CCS adapter. (Up to 590A.)
That’s Amazing. Hope we can figure out the pattern so we know where to charge at this speed. Most examples I saw on Signet was capped at 500A.
Also looks like Kyle is going to fulfill my curiosity by charging his plaid on 540A EVgo Delta chargers. But it is no longer exciting now since we know it can deal with at least 590A
Interesting. Even when I was charging at 190 kW in Yreka in 110 degree heat, my adapter only seemed "warm". (This is with the Korean model as well)
