Can a Gravity use any and all Tesla superchargers?

someguy · May 24, 2025

I was at a recent tesla supercharger and there was a sign that said "Tesla Vehicle Charging Only". a Cadillac pulled up and tried to plug in, with an adapter, and it didn't work. the driver explained to me that he was told that his car would work at SOME tesla superchargers.

I am curious if a new Lucid Gravity will work at all Tesla superchargers or just "some" of them.

also: when I go to the "electrify america" website to search for chargers, the Tesla superchargers don't come up. This will make the process of planning a trip a little more cumbersome, although surely better with superchargers available for (hopefully much) faster charging. when the Lucid plans a long trip, does it put in charging stops?

Gravity cannot use all Tesla Superchargers, only the newer V3 and V4 chargers will work with Gravity. Plugshare clearly shows which Tesla Supercharges are limited to Tesla only and which are open to other EVs.

Someone (maybe @borski ?) posted on this forum that the charging map in the Gravity navigation system filters out the Superchargers that won't work with the Gravity.

The Tesla Supercharger map on the Tesla website also has a selection for filtering them out and showing only the Superchargers open to "NACS Partners".

V3 and V4 supercharger stalls compatible with Gravity and other non-Tesla EVs will list a power rating of 250kW or greater.
Below 250kW, it's a V2 or V1 stall, and it doesn't have the software smarts to be compatible.

Okay, thank you. I really appreciate the kind and helpful replies.

To add a little color here, part of the NACS standardization was changing the signaling protocol between the EVSE and the vehicle from Tesla-proprietary to ISO 15118 (as used by CCS1). Older Superchargers only support the Tesla protocol while newer ones support both.

Older Tesla vehicles also only support the old protocol -- my 2019 X cannot use a CCS1-NACS adaptor (or a future NACS-plug at a third party charger) because it doesn't have a NACS port -- it has a Tesla Supercharger port which is physically the same but electrically different. (There was an upgrade available for $600 but I haven't taken it.)
