CCS Charging in NA

Hopefully Tesla releases a CCS adapter in NA soon. Looks like EA is going to stop putting in chademo adapters:

The South Korean one passed certification and is supposed to come out during the second half of 2021. Hopefully the US version will come out soon after.

I'm a bit doubtful Tesla will release a CCS option for US cars. Having other brands charge at Superchargers brings more money in for Tesla as does locking all Teslas in the US to Superchargers. If there was a CCS adapter that would just siphon money away from Tesla.

I suppose there might be an argument that allowing Teslas to use CCS chargers would help them sell cars, but they already have months of backorders.
