I was at a DC fast charging station (50Kwh) and it has the CCS plug. I tried plugging my Tesla J1772 adapter to it but it won't fit because the bottom part of the adapter is being blocked by the CCS plug. I think I can remove the lower notch with a dremel and it would fit just fine, being held onto by the upper latch. Has anyone tried charging a Tesla with the Combo CCS plug before? Do they sell one online? Please advise...

SAE Combo CCS to charge a Tesla M3

Tesla can use CHAdeMO with the $450 adapter. There is no adapter for CCS to Tesla, but pressure it is possible.
Seems the problem is that Tesla is not designed to talk with the CCS.

IIRC, CCS doesn't have the AC connectors active. So while you might be able to hack it to physically fit, there'd be no actual electricity flowing.

Non-North American vehicles communicate with CCS: Model 3s have the CCS2 socket, and Model S/Xs can get a upgrade of internal hardware along with a CCS2 adaptor to enable the same. So such an upgrade is possible, it's just whether Tesla want to make a North American version of the adaptor or not (a slightly different adaptor will need to be built for North America because of the variation in sockets).
