Charging Air GT with Tesla Gen 2 Charger

[azguy]

I have a 2023 Lucid Air GT coming in a few weeks. Would like to charge at home and I have a Tesla Generation 2 charger which I used on my model S and older Model 3. I also have the proper Lectron adapter coming. Will the gen 2 charger work with the Lectron or do I have to change some dip switches in the charger? I've seen a lot of confusing posts on this subject. It might be easier to replace the gen 2 Tesla charger with the Tesla new Universal charger, but if the Lectron will work I'll stay with my plan and keep the Tesla gen 2 charger.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

With the new 2.8 Software update you can set the car to use a compatible Amps to your charger, the scheduling in the car will work to start, but I use the charge limit to turn off. I have set our Air to only pull 32 amps since I don't drive that much, it will put 70 miles back in after 2 hours.

I just bought the Lectron adapter to use with my sons Tesla home charger it charged at 7.4 kw all night on my wife’s GV60. The problem was connecting and disconnecting the Tesla connector from the adapter required a lot of strong pushing and pulling.

I've been charging my Air with Tesla Gen2 wall connector with 80A adapter fine since 2022 with no other modifications (except for the addition of 80A adapter). Make sure your adapter can handle 80A or it will melt and start a fire.

Thanks... yes, adapter I ordered specified for 80a. Just hoping I don't have to take wall charger apart to flip dip switches. I've heard it both ways... the manual doesn't seem to mention having to do that.

I have the Lectron adapter for our L2 Tesla charger. Works perfectly on my 2025 AP. Getting the thing on and off the Tesla charger physically was not that great as my hands aren't that strong. Hubby managed it fine. We have a very old L2 Tesla charger as we were early adopters there too-- our Tesla is a 2012. That worked with the Lectron adapter no problem. Since then, we got a Lucid cable since we have both a Tesla and a Lucid now.

FWIW, we also got a Neocharge Splitter so that we could keep both cables plugged in through one outlet/charger and charge each vehicle without moving the cable or detaching anything other than plugging each car in as usual. The Neocharge has worked perfectly to alternately charge one or the other vehicle fully while not having to wake up in the middle of the night to switch out cables. I highly recommend this solution. We have now put the Lectron in the trunk for away from home destination charging. You could use the lectron-tesla cable for your Lucid and the tesla cable for your teslas and have both plugged into the splitter all the time.

Thanks... just the Lucid will need to charge.. but sometimes out of town guests with Teslas need to charge.
Just hoping the charger (gen 2) will work with adaptor out of the box. some people are confusing Level 2 with Gen 2.
