Given that the Tesla superchargers are designed for charge ports on the back left, does A2Z or anyone else make a robust, relatively short extension cable (either NACS or CCS, ie for use either before or after the adapter) that would allow us to reach our port without having to do awkward/obnoxious parking moves? 6 feet might do it….or maybe 8?

A2Z had a prototype extension cord, but I haven't seen it offered for sale yet.

Beware of pictures that may still show the L2 cable though (like A2Z did). HUGE difference. To handle DCFC amperage, any extension cord has to thick, heavy, stiff, and expensive. Just storing it in the car is gonna be a chore, let alone wrangling it for use.

Tesla initially planned to offer an SC extension cable, but then dropped those plans as being impractical. The actual V3/V4 cables are liquid-cooled, but of course extensions cannot be, thus have to be much bigger.

Interesting tidbit of information for those who it applies to: I still have my $650 credit for "charging accessories" that I got at delivery, and I was saving it for this exact moment. I just tried to pre-order and it does not appear that the adapter is a qualifying product

I messaged Customer Care and unfortunately confirmed this wasn't an oversight.

Looks like it’s planned for Q4 release:

NACS to NACS Extension Cord | DC | 400A | Compatible with Supercharger

Latest news as of the 23rd of July, 2025 :The DC extension cord's tooling has been finished, the DC extension cord has been submitted to CSA for a UL certification. The ETA for the certification to be completed is by Q4 of 2025. The extension cord will be rated for 400A with non-liquid cooled...

The narrative seems to suggest they should be perfectly safe.

Are there any reasons (Wonderbox-specific, or in general) to be concerned about the 400 amp ceiling?

It's not Tesla doing anything, it's a limitation of the vehicle on 500V chargers. Not sure how many times this needs to be explained over and over again about why Lucid can't go above 50kW on 500V chargers.

Let's stop with the "Tesla is punishing Lucid" narrative. It's utter falsehood and maybe do so due diligence before you start making such false claims.

Well, it’s incompetence on Tesla not installing 1000V compatible chargers…..when its competitors have 800v architecture. Trying to dumb down the competition….so much for “ mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. “

Give it a rest. Tesla built its network for its cars which are predominantly 400V. The only reason the V4’s probably came out in the first place was because the CyberTruck was an 800V platform. They were building it for themselves and no one else until everyone ran scrambling to them to get access.

You want to talk incompetence? How about the incompetence of EA for building the most unreliable network in America. How about the incompetence of the federal government not holding EA accountable (given why the network was built) when people were kicking and screaming about reliability problems. That incompetence is what forced automakers to go to Tesla asking for access in the first place.

I’d say it was more incompetent to build the Air without NACS and on an electrical architecture that couldn’t take advantage of the existing supercharger network more so than Tesla not building for the benefit of everyone else. As a Tesla owner, I wish no one could use SCs except Tesla. Now everyone should be forced to adapt to the Tesla system, not the other way around.

I completely disagree. When the Air was designed Supercharger Access was not on the table. 400V architecture is is outdated and inefficient. Even Tesla demonstrates this by going to 800V on the CyberTruck. There is no reason that every EV should be driving around with outdated 400V technology just because that is what Tesla did.

Right, because it makes total sense to call Lucid “incompetent” for not building around a network that was literally off-limits to them when the Air was developed. They built the car based on the future not legacy tech which the SC network is using.

Leftlane · 2025-07-27T13:46:18-0500

That’s a fair statement, but I’m pointing out that it is silly to blame Tesla for the other makers’ inability to charge at higher speeds using Tesla chargers. The SCs were here first.
