Get your Tesla's CCS1 Adapter From Korea!
Nothing beats the convenience of being able to charge your car with a Tesla Supercharger. But there are times when you need to use a non-Tesla charger, and having an adaptor can make things much easier. So, it's excellent news for all Tesla car owners everywhere when the carmaker decided to...

So has anyone purchased/tried the Korean CCS adapter with a refreshed Tesla Model S? If not, I might for kicks.
Sweet! Thanks! This will satisfy my range anxiety when I do monthly road trips, LOL.
If it works on your refreshed Model X, I can buy one and test it on my 2021 refreshed Model MS LR.
Got my CCS1 adapter today. Drove over to my closest CCS-station that happens to be an older EVgo with only 50kW. Arrived with 76% charge and was receiving 36kW right away on a MYP 2022 with 2022.12.1. Happy with the result.
Have a road trip through supercharger no-man land this weekend (east Oklahoma) and will try a 200kW CCS charger and report back.
Now I'm just paranoid that Tesla will block us that have imported an adapter with a SW update. We know Tesla can geofence their software if they want to and release different SW in different regions... BTW, there are no UL or FCC markings on the adapter. Is certification needed for a passive adapter?

If you're going to east oklahoma, don't count on the charger in Antlers. It's been down forever and no eta on getting fixed. I've used the ones in mcalester and wilburton with my setec adapter.

You need to purchase the adapter your self and have it delivered to the address they provide for you.
Had the same issue. Try putting a # in front of B102. It appears that way in some instances on the Delivered Korea website.
Just had Harum.io place an order for me and it cost $323.63. A bit pricier than MSRP in Korea, but I wasn't able to get any of my credit cards (including a US Amex card) to work for my purchase using Delivered to dropship. I was a bit hesitant to change/give them my credentials, but they have solid reviews it seems. So far so good - I'll report back.

I can't remember the specifics but I had to fool around with it for a while. Here are two examples of the address from emails I got from the Tesla shop, hope they help!

Another thought: Try using the info on this page and _not_ the info at the top of the website:

Doubtful (based on lack of response from anyone in the Tesla Shop department) but you might be able to message Delivered about it. I think the suites are all custom numbers to associate it to your account, so if they are on the outlook for a package with your name you might be fine.

It's all a fun part of the game of buying a Korean product that isn't released in the US yet
Honestly still not sure why Tesla hasn't released it yet. Lots of people assume it's so they can stock up on supply or ensure compatibility with US charging networks first, but I really wonder if it is part of their playbook on having their own adapter vs the standard (think Apple using Lightning instead of USB-C). Is releasing this in the US some sort of "admitting defeat"?
Agree 100%. There is no way this is a supply chain issue. It is a passive adapter made up of some pieces of injection molded plastics and a few copper conductors. Not really rocket science to manufacture or need any electronics that may be in short supply. There is definitely something else going on.

Hey everyone - new member here and in the same boat of deciding whether to buy the CCS1 adapter from South Korea or to wait until its released in North America. If I do order from Korea, I probably be leaning on you guys for some help.
As for why the adapter has not been released in NA yet, this is my pet theory (with no researched support basis, but some qualitative observations). CCS charging is cheaper in some parts of Canada (e.g. PetroCanada) than SC's, especially when we went from 2 tier to 4 tier pricing system. In fact, some 50 kWh CCS charges are free. Plus as some have mentioned, CCS fast charging is much more prevalent than SC's, especially away from major highways. Elon is pushing for per kWh pricing in Canada (and US) versus per minute. My theory is you won't see a CCS adapter until there is the approval for sale of electricity per kWh at which point we will see charging rate (cost) changes for CCS. As I said, just my pet theory

My guess is that it's waiting some kind of regulatory approval, but I'm not an expert in this so I'm purely guessing.
