Adapter needed for Tesla Supercharger

Lectron makes high quality adapters but the Lucid Air does not yet have access to the Tesla Supercharger network. I would save your money for now.

Tesla website says Lucid vehicles can charge. Is this controlled by Lucid or Tesla?

It controlled by the electronic handshake between the charger and the car. Lucid Gravity can charge on the Tesla network but Air is not yet enabled. Air should be enabled sometime this summer.

Picking up our new Air Touring in Chicago this Friday, and wanted to make sure I'm prepared for all charging options on my way home. What's the "go-to" adapter for everyone?

I did see this one, but still wanted to check in with the forum. https://ev-lectron.com/products/lec...4M8xUVft_lTDK2FGJXdvu_tW8GHP1bQQaAunqEALw_wcB

Thanks.

You need a few apps, PlugShare, electrify America, ChargePoint, and other apps. I am not from Chicago so not sure what is best network there, but I would use PlugShare to find reliable fast chargers in your area. Then also download that charger app and set up accounts. You don’t need Tesla superchargers. It will be nice to have an additional option, but I have never needed it.

A couple of questions: How will we be notified when Air is enabled? Will Lucid be manufacturing an adapter?

Good questions. I assume Lucid will do a press release when Tesla Supercharger access becomes available for Air. They did for Gravity. I am fairly sure that Lucid will sell an adapter for connecting NACS to CCS1 to charge the Air. Lucid is including an adapter with Gravity that goes they other way CCS1 to NACS. I doubt the adapter will be free, but it important to get a high quality adapter and I am sure the Lucid adapter will be thoroughly tested with the Air.
