Thanks to the article author reaching out to the Twitter user, he was able to confirm it was Tesla’s OEM adapter. But further evidence has come out that this was likely an intentional incompatibility.

Thanks, some actual proof. All we could do before is speculate.

The F-150 Lightning is currently one of only 13 other vehicles that can qualify for the full $7,500 tax benefit.

Doesn’t matter if it was made by Tesla or not

Because you’re completely ignoring what I’m saying. The example I’m referring to with the linked video was not shipped to a wrap shop.

Well, there is no evidence this isn’t some aftermarket 3rd party adapter. Jalopnik just stated it in this article as if it was an obvious fact, but the source material (the Twitter post) they cited didn’t actually say what brand of adapter it is. It very well could’ve been a $70 adapter from Amazon. There are 463…

Tesla Model 3 is comparable to BMW 3-series (which gets 19 to 29 mpg depending on trim), and Tesla Model Y is comparable to X3 maybe? both of which take Premium Unleaded which is why I was using that as the analogy.

We also don’t know that Tesla even made the adapter used in the video. There was no mention and no claims of the manufacturer of the adapter in the source material. Only the line in this Jalopnik article that was pulled out of thin air. Believe it or not, Tesla is not the only one who makes CCS adapters. There are…

To quote your very own post I was replying to:

But was it even Tesla’s fault? Do we even know that the adapter used by the Twitter used was made by Tesla? Jalopnik explicitly said it, but the source material didn’t, so Jalopnik really just pulled that out of thin air. It is not mentioned in the Twitter post which brand adapter they used. Tesla vehicles do not ship…

The adapter also came out well before the Cybertruck. So perhaps there will just be a v2 adapter that works on all models instead of just the models that were out at the time the adapter was released.

My two EVs are both around 3.5 mi/kWh (sports sedan and sports crossover SUV), so $0.086/mi on a $0.30 Supercharger.

So check out how we live in The Electric City!

It was certainly a minor design oversight but since all manufacturers (except for a few holdouts) have committed to switching to NACS, it’s really such a short term problem, maybe they did think of it but didn’t care enough to fix it. Maybe they’ll just make a new adapter that is Cybertruck specific.

I would guess that some of the expenses they have are due to the CCS charging hardware being physically larger (both the connector and the table) and likely just that much more expensive. I do hope that whatever the eventual solution is, they just have seamless autopay when you plug in. Really it’s something the gas…

It was quite the feat to count it all up! (many thanks to Google Location History)

I would suspect that the federal funding thing will change now that the CCS standard is being abandoned by almost all automakers (the only standouts being Stellantis, who doesn’t have an EV on sale yet in the US, and VW, who has one EV on sale in the US).

Some people just want their cars to look different. Especially since all of them are shipping as silver (with a few shipping as a black wrap), it’s an immediate way to stand out even further if your car is green and/or with different wheels. Here’s from one of the videos I saw where somebody had it wrapped in dark…

The first video I linked in my previous post is literally of a customer delivery during daylight at a Tesla Store, not on a catwalk stage at night during the live stream from back in November
