That video shows the charger pushing 500A to the car. I thought the official Tesla CCS1 adapter is only capable of doing 300A?

There is no such limit. The Tesla adapter has no active circuitry and the car’s ecu allows 500A over ccs.

They could easily program the vehicle to pull a max of 300A when doing CCS1 signaling and 500A when doing CCS2 signaling. It doesn't really matter that the adapter is just a bunch of passthrough pins, what matters is what's on the other side of it. You'd get in trouble if you daisy chained say a CCS1 to CCS2 adapter with a CCS2 to Tesla adapter, and the CCS1 to CCS2 adapter has active circuitry that changes the signaling, but you really shouldn't be doing that anyway.
I think we are saying the same thing ? I am just pointing out that the ccs1 adapter from Korea says 300A on the label but if you plug it in to a US car and a 500A ccs1 station, it will pull 500a today. They could limit it however they want, but they currently do not do so.
...really? Has someone melted an adapter yet? Or are the capabilities of the adapter inconsistent with the label?
The adapter can reportedly handle more without issue. They may just be rating it for continuous use or something with allowed peaks higher. No idea tbh. But the evhub one I have is functionally identical and does 500A, which is why I know the official one will too. I know someone who has one and has confirmed it has no circuitry or even resistors to identify itself to the car. From the vehicle perspective the evhub adapter is indistinguishable from the Tesla one.
You can try, but I can share a few
from hot summer day +35CelsBut feel free to add yours
Just put car to low SOC, so amps can be maxed, and battery heated for DC
Those are CCS2, but still on US spec car, so not much difference on that.
It runs to 80-90Cels from the initial 20-25C V2/V3 SC and as amps go down, it not growing anymore further, as SoC goes close to full.
Here is Warsaw SC its V2, it was ~5% Soc all upto 90%+
Here is some really old, from first tests of Supercharger adapter

@FalconFour did 190 kW on his so sounds about right.
Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach
Well, some success :) I charged at 3 different CCS stations today. Each of them had the same behavior and the same reported charge port temperature that I suspect is limiting it... It starts throttling around 170f reported (likely 70f actual - outside temp is low 60s). When stopped, the...

I felt mine with my hand during the charging up to 170kW and it didn't get warm. It was 40F outside so that might have something to do with it.

While they are not the exact same design, they are functionally the same. They are both passive adapters that require your car to have the Tesla charging port ECU with CCS support ("CCS Adapter Support: Enabled" in the "Additional Vehicle Information" screen). The car itself does the CCS protocol, it can't tell the difference between these two adapters since both are passive. You can check previous posts in this thread to see the physical difference between the EVHub adapter and the Tesla adapter.

This was discussed up thread, but it's a very bad idea to give timeline estimates when you are uncertain you can meet them. You can add disclaimers until you are blue in the face, but I guarantee you a large amount of people will still hold you to the original date, and the reporting on it will ignore the caveats. If you are late it will be reported as a delay.
They only make sense if there is a competitor that they are worried about, but I don't think this applies here, given I doubt they plan to make much, if any profit, on this adapter. Nor is the CCS a big enough selling point to really influence car sales much (given they are supply constrained). They have even removed some time estimates from upcoming vehicles, like the Cybertruck (and that one they do have to worry about losing potential customers to competitors).
I have a military friend currently in Korea that could order one on my behalf and ship it to me stateside....but like others have said, I don't really have a need for the adapter....just a "cool to have" item.
Should be interesting to see a report on which adapter stays cooler when it's in use, all else (charge current, etc.) being equal.

do you have a moment to hear the good news of our lord and savior Elon Musk and his promises of FSD

And he has been crucified in the media for it (there's a compilation somewhere). But you cut out the important point, the benefit to Tesla there is they got essentially interest free loans in the thousands for that promise (same with the car deposits). For a CCS adapter I doubt they get much of anything by promising a earlier date.do you have a moment to hear the good news of our lord and savior Elon Musk and his promises of FSD
