Since they have a ChaDemo adapter, will there be one for CCS? Just curious.
This is the reason I want a CCS adapter. I think Walmarts are pretty good locations for long distance supercharging. Generally clean bathrooms, most open 24/7, well lit at night. I hope they expand to all Walmarts.The VW "we screwed up so we are forced to install chargers in the US" charger network will also have CCS ports:

You may be a trifle shortsighted due too the current situation. Tesla will support CCS in Europe (Mennekes 2 plus two pins) but teh US (J1772 plus two pins) remains to be seen. Converting all of Tesla to something else is less of an issue than you might think, they are connectors, not all the infrastructure. I have used both CHAdeMO and CCS, the former with an adapter, both with one hand. They are certainly more cumbersome than the NA Tesla ones, but the truth is not so difficult as Tesla NA fans make it out to be. remember that the Tesla one originated before there was another standard.Tesla will not go to CCS any time soon.
CCS may eventually dominate, but it won't be any time soon. Certainly not by 2020. Maybe by the end of the next decade. Maybe... If you have to use 2 hands to haul around the connector, it's going to be a failure, guaranteed.

Anyway as charging voltage and amperage rises the existing Tesla connector will be replaced anyway to allow for more connector capacity. When is another question.
OTOH, the vast majority of BEV's that are arriving during the next five years are to be CCS. Face it, that is the new standard, like it or not. We have little infrastructure today but taht is changing by the day. Like it or not it is coming.
It is all rather like the sudden adoption of turbine (turbojet and turboprop) aircraft. Overnight the world changed.
Short-sighted? You are dreaming if you think CCS is going to be the dominant standard in the US in a mere 2 years.
Tesla could migrate to CCS over a period of many years, by adding a CCS port on the other side of the vehicle. The Model 3 already looks like it was designed to support this option, and it could be added to the S and X with minor redesigns. That would open the door for a slow migration: new SC pedestals would have dual connectors, eventually replacing all the old pedestals too. By then most of the old single-port cars would be off the road, and it'd make sense to build CCS-only Teslas.
Maybe we'll see evidence of a plan like this as we learn more about the Y or Semi design. The Semi prototypes seem to be using multiple SC ports, but I expect the finished MegaCharger design to use a single connection.
