What is the charging port on model s and X - NACS?
It’s Type 2 but can support DC charging without the two additional large ports at the bottom.
You then need an adapter for CCS2 plus early models like mine needed some wiring changes.

However the technique is to attach the adapter to the charging cable first then insert that into the type 2 port on the car. It then locks all three parts together and starts charging.
Removing the adapter from the CCS2 cable is often difficult when the adapter and CCS2 cable are new and the tolerances are fine. I had a similar problem at Exeter when it first opened but wth more use it became easier.

Not replace.

If needed (depending on age of the S/X, think this is for pre 2017) they upgrade the port chip so it can speak CCS2, and then sell you a passive adapter.

As wol747 already had an adapter (just seemingly hadn't used it) his car came with that functionality.
Note that over half the superchargers in Australia now need this adapter for S/X.

Had we gotten the refresh versions they would have come with CCS2 plugs in the enlargement tail light.

Honestly think Tesla should be offering this for free, and actually actively contacting owners to have it done.
