There is no adapter and you’re currently not able to do that. A few Tesla chargers have been fitted with CCS.What is the right adapter for charging lucid at a tesla supercharger
Currently, the correct one is called Magic Dock.What is the right adapter for charging lucid at a tesla supercharger
That's just an extra problem which is not unique to the Lucid.I thought the issue with the Supercharger Network is the cable length at each station is too short to reach the front driver's side of the Lucid.
Is that not the case?
Yeah you have to park sideways to access it, blocking multiple chargers unless the site you’re at has a separate charger not adjacent to others. The F150 lightning also has a hard time reaching it but can just barely do it, but the Lucid charge port is even further back from the bumper than the Lightning. Don’t waste your time unless you have no other options. I hope V4 stations will actually have the longer cable/magic dock. I’m now wondering however if that’s actually going to happen since now the pressure is on automakers to conform to Tesla standard rather than Tesla to add CCS adapter.I thought the issue with the Supercharger Network is the cable length at each station is too short to reach the front driver's side of the Lucid.
Is that not the case?
Yes. The cable is very short as a design to keep non-Tesla cars away.I thought the issue with the Supercharger Network is the cable length at each station is too short to reach the front driver's side of the Lucid.
Is that not the case?
No, the cable is short to reduce DC losses. The Tesla charge ports are at the driver’s rear and the cable reaches them with no problem. If other manufacturers put their charge port at that location, the cable would reach just fine.Yes. The cable is very short as a design to keep non-Tesla cars away.
That's a good explanation for Tesla.No, the cable is short to reduce DC losses.
That's a good explanation for Tesla.
But then how can non-Tesla brand DC Fast Chargers all have very long cables that can reach the whole length of a car?
Despite claimed DC losses, how can new V4 Tesla Superchargers come with longer cables now?
I think this is a positive not a negative. The Tesla design now NACS is much better. I hope any animosity at Lucid re Tesla does not delay them from making the inevitable and right decision to go to NACS, and yes, with Ford and GM on board it is inevitable. I‘m fine with buying and having an adaptor in the trunk.Yeah you have to park sideways to access it, blocking multiple chargers unless the site you’re at has a separate charger not adjacent to others.

The newer cables are water cooled and also thinner. And why would Tesla initially make longer cables, when it was not necessary for their cars? If other manufacturers at the time really wanted to use the Tesla superchargers, they could have standardized on the charge port location. I think it’s a chicken/egg problem, Tesla didn’t make the cable shorter because they didn’t want others to charge. There were no others, other than a Nissan, and they had their own standard.That's a good explanation for Tesla.

There are several threads discussing this. Here is oneWhat adapter is used to connect to a level 2 tesla charger at a hotel, business, etc.?
Lucid
Lucid has announced that its new vehicles will start adopting Tesla's proprietary NACS charge port in 2025. The company also said that current Lucid models that feature a CCS-type port will be compatible with an adapter that allows them to charge at the Tesla Supercharger network too.
In 2025I have an adapter to use Tesla destination chargers... but understand that Tesla is opening their service to everyone... just need a special adaptor,... when will we see this? my friend with a Rivian is supposed to get his next month...
In the quote that you cited, it's 2025.I have an adapter to use Tesla destination chargers... but understand that Tesla is opening their service to everyone... just need a special adaptor,... when will we see this? my friend with a Rivian is supposed to get his next month...
How fast did it charge and which trim is yours?I used the station for vehicles with trailers at a magic dock tesla supercharger to get it to work.
I have an AWD pure… it was a while ago and I did it for the novelty to test it out so I honestly do not recall the speed but it was GOOD.How fast did it charge and which trim is yours?
