Lucid added as "coming soon" on Tesla SC network

Yesterday I tried to test my adapter on a Tesla supercharger and could not get close enough to connect to the cable end (yes, I straddled the line) as the curb was too high for my license plate. The car is registered in New York and a front plate is required. So, rather than drill the front bumper, I used an adapter that a Lucid guy suggested that bolts into the tow bar thread and attaches to a frame for the plate. I only needed a few inches (yes, I attached the adapter to the cable) so I have to try another Supercharger.

Won't work no matter where you go. If you really want to charge on a SC need to find a magic dock.

I have heard it said that if the Tesla app is configured in such a manner that the car being charged is a car that is truly approved for Tesla (say an Ionique 5) then it will also work for the Air as it is not a smart connection.

That was true for a while with one of the IONIQ cars, but was later disabled by Tesla. And this worked within IONIQ brand. People have verified that if you say you have a Gravity, and try to plug in an Air, it will not work.

Thanks. So it is a smart connection then.
