New Charging Knowledge Center article

My question for the team is where should we buy the AC converter so I can use my son's Tesla home charger when I visit him. The article implies we should only use Lucid approved adapters but I don't see an AC adapter available from Lucid? Am I just missing it?

A2Z adapters and cables are widely respected and used in this community. (I think you’re right that Lucid does not make their own L2 adapter)

I've been using Lectron's Tesla to J1772 charging adapter without issue for over a year now.

Me too. At home I've exclusively been charging my Air with the Tesla mobile I used to use charge my Model S with. Only get 32 amps instead of the 40 I could, but it's never been an issue fully charging overnight and I've been too lazy to "fix" something that's not broken (and it lets me keep myLucid mobile charger with the car). I have another Nacs-> J1772 I leave in the car for hotel destination chargers (that one's a TeslaTap, but functionally identical).

Nice article!

Getting ready for my 1st road trip so did a test run today to a local Tesla charging station. First thing I noticed was Tesla chargers don't show up as charging options on the car nav...any idea if this is going to be added?

When I arrived, I was able to pull in at a 40 degree angle to allow the cable to reach but couldn't get the charge to initiate. Tried downloading Tesla app as well, but no luck. It was then that I looked on the Lucid mobile app map & saw that none of the Tesla chargers I was at were compatible. Having this info in the car nav would have saved me the hassle.

I drove down to another bank of Tesla chargers in a different city and this time it worked as soon as I plugged in. The Lucid app prompted me for the charger # & started charging immediately. 3 miles per min was the charge rate, which will be good as backup.

Great to have the Tesla charging option!
