Using a Gen 1 Charger

Hi all.

I have a Gen 1 mobile charger that came with a nema 14-50 adapter.
I recently purchased a Raven X, that came with a Gen 2 charger, but no adapters. They are also sold out online.

So my question is, any issues using the Gen 1 charger/adapter for a 14-50 plugin on the new X? Anyone have any experience doing this (charge speed estimates)?

Thanks.

There were some issues with Gen 1 HPWC charging MCU2 vehicles - Tesla appears to have corrected this with a software update - so all S/3/X vehicles should be able to charge with Gen 1 or Gen 2 HPWC.

There weren't any compatibility issues with Gen 1 or Gen 2 mobile connectors - those have been able to charge all S/3/X vehicles. And, for vehicles that can support 48A of charging, the Gen 1 mobile connector will provide 40A of charging when connected to a 14-50 outlet, while a Gen 2 mobile connector is limited to 32A of charging.
