Cost appears to be around $325, wonder what the US model will cost....also wonder what the hold up is on this option for US??

Well I think that's the cost with the shipping overhead included, not just for the Adapter. I think the adapter, is about $280 in Korea ($)

I don't have a Model 3, but some ideas:
- Wait for Tesla to offer retrofits (whenever they release the CCS1 adapter in North America--should be this year or next).
- If handy, perform DIY retrofit (see FalconFour's posts).
- Find Tesla dismantler (there's one in Sacramanto area [zapaska]) or use eBay. Get necessary parts. This table indicates the months when Model 3 should have CCS enabled.
Complete guess on my part but as they have a healthy supply of Tesla charge stations in the US my guess is they would prefer us to use ($$) their chargers vs selling a part to pay someone else for juice.
Agree. If they aren't compelled to release a North American adapter, there isn't a reason too since every dollar spent on a CCS charge is likely to be seen a dollar not going to a SC.
Maybe, but the result is the same... an otherwise captive customer is spending money with someone else. The business case would have to prove they'd make more selling the adapter ($300×?) than the projected loss of revenue expected via charging at a SC.
Quick update, received my adapter today. Since I shipped to my BC, Canada address via Fedex, I had to pay duties/Taxes. It came to $52.45, which $10 was the Fax ROD fee. Quick service and got my adapter in about a week. Paid my dues to support Canadians

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. I would expect a lot of people would use the adapter mainly when a SC wasn't an option. That's why I want it anyway.
The ease of use of the Tesla SC is unbeatable. I would want one for those odd cases when a CCS SC is more convenient on some road trip.

yeah exactly. Around here SCs are fine on the Trans-Canada highway and major cities but if I head North to cottage country, forget it. There are some Chademo and CCS up there though.

I see cities, municipalities, provinces and the country installing subsidized EV chargers everywhere to catch up to the EV revolution. All of these are CCS. Tesla is basically on its own installing its own network however it is very slow in growth in comparison. The promises of installation Tesla makes are crap. There is one in particular I know of that has been bumped now for 8 years, not acceptable plus when you get off of major routes or into country, good luck. Very happy with this CCS adapter option needless to say.
Glad I requested FedEX, I know DHL has higher fees and I've haven't been to impress with service here in Vancouver.
Anyone able to help me with this? I am from the states and I placed an order 4/21 shipping to my friend's cousin house in Seoul. She was gonna pick it up for me during her trip to Korea. But I haven't received an order tracking. My concern is the red box which translate to Unable to check delivery.
Any ideas? I emailed Tesla Korea, waiting for a response. should have just done this through a proxy service.
The charge went through my credit card.

Sorry. But I think I have heard that other people have that, too. Check. Search the TMC forums but I think others have reported the same. There was no tracking available for me for the initial shipment of the adapter from Tesla-Korea to the Harumio office. So you may be OK. I bet it arrives at that house in Seoul in about four days.
Yes. Here are three people who had that same "Unable to..." language on information from Tesla-Korea. I think you will be OK.
