Lucid Air Touring Charging

[glock2145]

Does anyone use a Tesla Tap Mini 80A with a Tesla Wall Connector Gen 2 to charge their Lucid? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks

My tesla tap worked for about 3 months (48 miles per hour charge) but now after few min it drops down to 22 miles per hour charge . I am not sure if it’s the adapter or tesla made a software change on the 3rd generation charger that I have .

Since I have a Tesla Wall Connector Gen 2, it doesn't receive any updates. I hope I won't encounter any issues. Does the Tesla Tap Mini get hot when charging the Lucid? My only concern is that the Tesla Tap is not certified by any authority; it seems like it’s just a person making these devices in their garage.

It’s definitely getting warm but nothing unusual in my opinion. When I called tesla tap about the issue I was told to bake ( yes bake !) the adapter for 5-8 hours at low heat in the oven 170 degrees. They claimed maybe moisture inside the adapter is the issue .
I did that but the issue persists

Can also just use a universal Tesla wall connector instead of the Tesla Tap mini

all I can say is that I have been using a tesla mobile charger with a teslatap for almost 2+ years without any sort of issues, it might be a slightly slower charge but it is fast enough for my needs.

I've used a TeslaTap for destination (hotel) charging while on road trips. It works OK, but does get warm, which concerned me a little. In one instance with a possibly faulty charging handle, it became extremely hot. The issue may have been in the charger rather than the TeslaTap, though charging was not automatically stopped or slowed, which bothered me. The company that makes TeslaTap does seem to be small.

If you haven't already bought a TeslaTap, I'd strongly consider an adapter from A2X or Lectron instead. Both are larger, very reputable companies, many of their products have been tested to meet US and international safety standards, and their prices are competitive with TeslaTap or lower.

I think I will just go with the universal Tesla wall connector Gen 3 instead

Or any J1772 EVSE if you don't need NACS for another car.

My other car is a Tesla that's why I think the best choice is the universal Tesla wall connector Gen 3
