The CCS cable and plug on the Vector charger connects straight onto the Tesla charge port for the Model 3 and Y.

Lucky you. Sure wish the CCS standard was available in the U.S. Tesla is in the process of opening its Super Chargers up to non-Tesla cars, a good thing. Unfortunately, there's no CCS converter available in the States for Teslas, yet.

Thats right, but there are some North American Tesla owners buying the Tesla CCS1 adapter through Korea. N.B. Some earlier Model 3 require a small wiring upgrade for the CCS1 adapter to work, I assume that Tesla are putting off making the CCS1 adapter available in NA until they can develop a process to identify and upgrade earlier cars when an adapter is purchased.

CCS1 Tesla Adapter

Hello! I’m looking to import a CCS1 adapter from South Korea to North America! I used a package forwarding service but Tesla canceled my order. I’m hoping someone on here can help me out. I’ll of course cover everything and also pay you for your time. Please let me know! Thank you!

Mostly, yes. Not always, though. I can think of one or two we've come across that are byo cable.

AC chargers, Male to Female Mennekes (Type 2)
Some AC charges are BYO cable, some have cable attached
plugshare should indicate if the AC charger is BYO cable or not and the plug type
DC chargers are CCS2, DC charges have the cable attached

New, the type 2 cable is pretty expensive, you have to do a lot of free charging
at AC BYO cable charges to get any sort of payback.
Debatable if it's worth it, more AC charges have the cable attached these days
It does give piece of mind having if your traveling to a unfamiliar location
J1772 to Type 2 adapter and your pretty much covered for most scenarios

In the South Island, nearly all AC public chargers are BYOC. I haven't come across a tethered charger down here yet, other than Tesla Destination chargers.
