Likelihood of a CHAdeMO adapter for the Model S

[Discoducky]

This is great news! If I had that adapter now I could probably shave an entire day off of the Seattle to Folsom leg of our trip later this month.

I'm at the US ambassadors villa, Elon is speaking, CONFIRMS Chademo adapter for EU.

Pics or it didn't happen.:smile:

Sounds more then reasonable that you guys in the US also get the adapter or you can obtain it via the EU (which would be odd..)

Nice! Which one is you?

 

[jkirkebo]

Also type 2 inlet is confirmed for EU cars.

Here's one blurry of me and him.

 

[Al Sherman]

Fantastic! Two great looking young men.

it would sure be nice if I could go gallivanting about in WA and Oregon, demonstrating the speed and ease at which the S can handle long trips... but for lack of a CHAdeMO adapter, I'd have to drive my S like a Leaf and sit for long periods, only adding to the bad press. we've got CHAdeMO every 25-40 miles from Canada to California along the interstate, come on Tesla, unchain me, give us the CHAdeMO!!!!

Yes, yes, yes!

a full day to get to Bachelor/Hood is murder!

Elon said in Geneva today that it's coming.

So a CHAdeMO adapter is confirmed for Europe as well as Japan. Seems that US would just follow.

Hmm... I thought adapters weren't allowed in Europe.

Probably would still want to get it from Japan since Europe will have a different inlet.

I can't even get the 14-30 adapter that's been advertised since the beginning of time!

 

[JakeP]

Hey, I just received a 14-30 last week, unexpectedly in the mail. I really need the 10-30, but I ordered both.

And with CHAdeMO in Astoria and now in Cannon Beach, the Oregon coast opens up.

Wow! Shows I'm obviously not a skier by asking, but are our Oregon slopes that great that you'd drive all the way up here? Or do you just want a reason to put Joules to the road with some fun skiing at the end?

Hooray for CHAdeMO!

Hmm... I thought adapters weren't allowed in Europe.

I almost forgot about that. If a CHAdeMO adapter is legal, they could have gone with a three phase version of the Model S socket instead of a Mennekes socket as they have done now. I wonder if they were able to lobby the IEC to change the adapter ban.

 

[EVNow]

Good news - but only if 40 kWh model gets it too

He's in Eureka, which is far enough north that Bend is about as close as Tahoe.

As a skier, I consider both places equally nice. But typically nicer powder on the more northern slopes (Oregon).
