That’s a whole lot of added complexity and cost. I think it’s extremely unlikely.For NA they should have both charging ports. Keep the Tesla proprietary charger on the left and add the CCS on the right side.

If there is a passive adapter and easy ECU field replacement, nobody is going to pay for an extra charge port and all the high power wiring and contactors that would require.That’s a whole lot of added complexity and cost. I think it’s extremely unlikely.
It's not the quantity that matters, it's the placement. There could be one CCS charger (even a 50kW unit) that happens to bridge a gap between Superchargers on a route you travel frequently for it to be well worth the investment to you.I won't worry about it until there are more 150kW+ CCS1 chargers than there are Tesla Superchargers. And while I expect that to happen, I don't expect it to happen for 5 years or more. (I'd guess ~15?)
I agree, but the longer they wait, the worse it becomes.Trying to retrofit the supercharger network to be CCS1 would be a PITA that Tesla would likely prefer to avoid, and will do work to avoid.
In the trial currently running in the Netherlands, people who want to Supercharge their non-Tesla vehicle download the Tesla app and go into the special page for Supercharger access. You enter a payment method, choose the charger stall and start it, all in the app.How does Tesla charge money to a non Tesla vehicle? I assumed we get charged (money) by the fact our Tesla vehicles have our account & payment info.
No. People have tried buying them from Korea and using intermediaries to receive and then ship them over here, but Tesla seems to have figured out how to detect and stop that.I haven't kept up with the CCS rumor mill, has there been any developments on a NA adapter?
Detect what? That people are buying multiple in Korea? Or are they blocking the adapters in NA cars?No. People have tried buying them from Korea and using intermediaries to receive and then ship them over here, but Tesla seems to have figured out how to detect and stop that.

They are preventing adapters to be purchased for cars outside Korea (adapter purchase is linked to account/VIN) even if you try to have it shipped to a Korean address to get forwarded to you. Also only allow 1 adapter per VIN so people in Korea cannot purchase extras to sell either.Detect what? That people are buying multiple in Korea? Or are they blocking the adapters in NA cars?
