Has anyone gotten a CCS adapter in the US?

The adapter you bought is made by Setec. There's a thread on the Setec adapter:

Setec CCS to Tesla Adapter

Because of multiple threads in multiple sub-forums concerning this adapter, starting this one as a single point of knowledge. Background - Purchased the Setec CCS1 adapter and received today. Tried on a BTCPower station operated by Blink. Got both communications errors and failed isolation...

And that was why I went, "Buyer beware" in a previous post.
Weird data in the advertisement that Didn't make Sense: Check.
Chinese manufacturer (and therefore warrant-proof): Check.
Lousy support: Check.
Doesn't work without weird software updates that don't computer: Check.
Your money: Bye-bye.

That pretty much describes the last two years of my life.

I bought the Lectron-Tesla CCS adapter, but it doesn't work. They require you to download a software update that is written for antique computers and won't work on Windows 10, even after turning off Norton 360. Lectron's support is some lady out front who doesn't know anything. They will not talk to me on the phone or give written support. (I can't understand Chinese anyway)

It is the price we pay if similar OEM equipment is not provided.
It took me 10 minutes to complete flashing it on Windows 11, though using the instructions from the Setec web site:

Try using 1.64 if the adapter with 1.64-1 is still not charging.

Hey Tesla/Elon…. Any update on when North America might see a CCS adapter? How hard can this be guys? It’s not like it doesn’t already exists in South Korea. Get after it boys!

Sure it exists in South Korea, but they can't even keep them in stock there. There is no point in bringing it to the US until they can get a large quantity of them manufactured.

Still refreshing......

I asked recently at a service center in Minnesota - apparently the staff has the same information that we do.
