CCS Adapter - ?

It sure does. Glad it worked well for @Midnightsun. I had issues with a BTC station this past weekend and my Tesla had a lot of error messages during the handshake. Eventually I got it working for a slow 17kW charge. I reached out to the owner, Francis Energy and they called back very excited to hear about CCS adapters being available for Tesla.
I sent them the link how to order and they said they would get one and test. They speculated there might be some firmware updates they need to do on their BTC stations.

Yes, that happens to me all the time, too--the J1772 adapter gets stuck in the port (the cable is already removed), but then I can hit the "unlock" selection on the "Charge" screen and by pressing the adapter in then out it releases.

May try it as there is a Supercharger location near me that does have 2 CCS/chademo chargers about 50' away in the same parking lot. Only reason would be to see how fast it can charge with low SOC and preheated.
That's what I thought, too. However, see this post by the Harumio staff. They are saying that it is possible to order unlimited numbers?! That can't be right, can it?
What's going on?

Try this, put in the J1772 without connecting anything and try to remove it by unlock via scree or app. Software may be different on the 3/Y as my issue was with the S. Will try it on the Y tonight to see if it reacts the same, after I figure out where the wire pull is on the Y that is.
For readers just starting out with this topic, a list of some key threads that address the Tesla CCS1 adapter for North America issue.

So shipped to the states and smuggled it across to save taxes and duties. A true Canadian.
I usually go through my brother in NH, no sales tax in NH.
Really impressive charge speed, thanks for posting.
declared it at the border. The border agents can send you into the office to pay the taxes. In general, as long as you don't overdo it and don't have alcohol or cigarettes they wave you thru. If you stay in the USA for 48 hours, you are allowed $800 in value. Many Canadians cross the border to pick up parcels in Blaine, WA. I have property in USA that I go on weekends to relax.So shipped to the states and smuggled it across to save taxes and duties. A true Canadian.

I did order the bag after all. Perfect fit, almost like it was made for it. As an added bonus the J1772 adapter fits in the bag as well.

Question not directed at me, but I ordered it on a Monday, Tesla S Korea showed it purchased on Wednesday and then DHL delivered on Tuesday of the next week. Pretty impressive.
Now that's what I'm talking about! And no foam inserts are really required! Nice and comfy.
I knew some clever owner would find exactly what we need. Cheap and effective. (Except your address put me in Canadian Amazon! None of my previous orders appeared. Thought I'd been ghosted by Amazon, eh?
)

LOL, same thing happened to me... Ordered, thanks for being the guinea pig on it!
That was lucky, as it was within that backsliding window of CCS noncompliance. (Do any of those words make sense? You know what I mean.) Good deal for you.
