Is it worth to buy a CSS adapter now?

[rlsd]

I am planning for a trip to Grand Canyon in Arizona. Should I buy a CSS adapter that costs $250 from Tesla for the trip? Amazon has some that cost $90 or $145 but reviews say that are not reliable. In one year this adapter is useless because most EV chargers have NACS connectors.

I already bought. People I know don't go far and don't have an adapter.

Then you need to find better people to know .

I’ve used my adapter several times. Twice when the supercharger I was heading for was full, once the whole site was out of service (the car indicated as such en route) and a few more when EA was offering free charging for whatever reason. Its never saved me from being stranded, just provided flexibility.

I’ve used my CCS once
But I would still have one always on road trips
It’s insurance for the 0.00001% chance you’re in a pinch and have to use a non Tesla L3 charger
