Tesla CCS1 Combo Adapter

[chan_man]

The main issue with using CCS adapter is for colder weather, you can not force the car to pre-condition the battery so charging can be painfully slow at a CCS station. The work around is to point your car to a tesla supercharger and get the pre-conditioning going and use your phone navigation to the CCS station. Otherwise having this adapter greatly reduces the range anxiety especially in regions with a limited number of superchargers

I tried to order the CCS adapter today, cancelled the reservation and got one that is in stock, and it says my car will need a retrofit. It's a 2023, shouldn't it be good to go using it? Or am I trying to order it too soon and I should order after I pickup my car?

Yes - connect the adapter to the over sized ccs plug first - then insert the two of them into your charge port. It has a pin that locks the big connector to the Tesla adapter and then the car locks the connected unit to the car itself. The only trouble I have is that I have to go to the dash and push the 'unlock charge port' button when I'm finished charging. (Maybe I'm doing something wrong?) I've used the adapter several times already since I purchased it back in September.

If I am not mistaken, when you are unplugging. hit the button on the CCS charging cable without pulling just like how you would with tesla plug when unplugging hitting that circle button. Wait for 2 seconds or when you hear the click, then pull out the plug it'll remote the CCS 1 adapter along with the charge plug and then you remove the adaptor and it'll close the charging port.

I don’t see the CCS adapter on the Tesla store. Can someone provide a link?

Just ordered! I’m 2 for 2 in price drops. Just ordered my MYLR within the hour of the Jan 12 price drop and took delivery on Jan 21st. Tax credit secured.

Just ordered one as well. Have never seen a need for one over many long road trips, but it seems like cheap insurance just in case.

I am on the fence with getting a CCS adapter as there is only 1 EA near me and it is always packed with lines. I think I might pass on it as there are tons of J1772 and SC where I live, never had to wait.

I got as much as 89kW at an Ivy station today - bonus, it was free. A2Z Thunderstorm CCS adaptor.

Even with the recent EA price increase, CCS1 is cheaper than the SC - especially when you pay the $4 monthly membership fee. More hassle but cheaper.

I can't seem to win with Tesla no matter what I do, whether that's buying right away or waiting. Jumped on $7,500 off Dec promo on MY just for it to go DOWN $20k two weeks later. Held off buying the Wall Charger only for it go UP $75. Bought the CCS adapter and of course it goes DOWN $75.

True, but with Tesla Super Chargers, don't you get Premium Electricity?

Not 100% sure, but I am sure it’s ethanol free.
