Would you prefer your Tesla to have a Euro Style charge socket?

[BLW2]

Watching youtube I learned that the Tesla cars in Europe have a different universal style socket.... looks like the chargers all have some sort of combo style plug that I assume meets some standardization requirement.

Do you wish we had that here in the US, or are there enough superchargers that it's a non-issue?

North America Teslas come with an adapter to the only other port type used in North America. A port type Tesla rejected as standard because they wanted a higher amperage option, hence the Tesla specific one they developed.

I vote for the ones most prolific here in the US. Right now, that’s the small proprietary Tesla one for our super chargers. As Electrify America (CCS, CHADeMO and J1772) and others deploy their (expensive to use) stations, then an adapter might be necessary. What I don’t want is 12 adapters. The adapter should be standardized just like the diameter of a gas pump spigot ASAP.

Too late. Sorry.

A CCS adapter would be nice and shouldn't be that expensive. CCS and J1772 both speak a variant of the I2C protocol. Electrically that's very simple. It require writing a good sized pile of software. It's likely not been a priority.

The reason most countries in the world chose Type2 and not Type1 is because
in most places 3-phase power is actually used everywhere.
In US/Japan (Nissan Leaf), even though 3phase is available, it is not used at residential homes.
Therefore it appeared that cars should only have pins for single phase.

It's better to have Type2 and in 70% of cases use just 1 phase than have Type1 socket and not
use 2 additional phases when they are available.

Exactly the same endless discussion with metric vs imperial.
It's better to have wrenches 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
rather than 5/32 3/16 7/32 1/4 9/32 5/16 11/32 3/8 7/16 15/32 1/2 17/32 9/16 19/32 5/8 21/32 11/16 3/4 25/32 13/16 7/8

The US version of Type 2 is J3068. Same connector, but speced for North American voltages and such.

SAE J3068 - Wikipedia

Will be for vehicles in commercial environments (buses, trucks, etc) long before it will start to displace J1772.
