MB has the same message, too. That said, I also own a Tesla tap just in case.It is also worth repeating: Lucid specifically says to avoid using any type of adapter to charge your car.

I will join you on your soapbox and say it won't be fine, 66 amps on a 48 or 60A adapter is asking for trouble.Trouble is, it’s impossible to tell visually whether a V1 or V2 Tesla wall connector is capable of providing 48A, 80A or somewhere in between. But if the wall connector can do 80A, that’s what your Lucid will ask for and that’s what the EVSE will provide - and your $70 48A or 60A adapter might be fine, or it might not and catastrophe may ensue. Sure, it’s an edge case, but it could happen.
I’ll get off my soapbox, y’all do what you want. I guess my feeling is if you’re spending six figures on a car, another three hundred for a US-made, 80A TeslaTap isn’t going to break the bank.
TeslaTap, at least, accounts for this. But I bought the 80amp (which is 80 continuous) because I’d never wanna be caught unawares.I will join you on your soapbox and say it won't be fine, 66 amps on a 48 or 60A adapter is asking for trouble.
I wonder if any of these adapters are constructed to meet NEC Section 210.19(A)(1) which states, "Branch-circuit conductors shall have an ampacity not less than the maximum load to be served. Where a branch circuit supplies continuous loads or any combination of continuous and noncontinuous loads, the minimum branch-circuit conductor size, before the application of any adjustment or correction factors, shall have an allowable ampacity not less than the noncontinuous load plus 125 percent of the continuous load."
NEC Section 625.14 requires electric vehicle supply equipment be considered a continuous load.
This is the exact model that I purchased, and it's working fine.Interestingly, I was looking last night as well. And was going to post. I was looking at
Looks the same as yours. Just different logo. Probably all comes from same Chinese factory. I liked all the great reviews until I saw many many were from people given the adapter for free. Saw Several comments that you need to put the adapter on the Tesla charger plug, WAIT 30 seconds and then plug in to our car.
The 60 amp and high wattage on both also seem like they can handle the 16kw Tesla Destination Chargers. My client's hotels have the 16kw. Should be appreciately faster than the 6 or 9 or 12 kw Destination Chargers
I am sure (hope) we will get comments from actual users.
I asked. Lucid says an adapter might damage the charging port. Translation: They want you to buy their $1,200 charger.Are any of these adaptors UL listed? Does Lucid have any recommendations for a L2 Tesla/J1772 adaptor? I'm guessing there will be a lot more L2 Tesla connections over J1772, as destination chargers, in the future. I would go with what Lucid is recommending.
To be fair, there are examples online of third-party adapters damaging a car's charging port.I asked. Lucid says an adapter might damage the charging port. Translation: They want you to buy their $1,200 charger.
And our Manual contains a warning from Lucid not to use any adapter between a wall charger's (EVSE) plug and the Lucid charging port.To be fair, there are examples online of third-party adapters damaging a car's charging port.

That’s not true; you’re welcome to use any other EVSE or just a 14-50 plug. This is just saying that if you adapter causes an issue, Lucid’s warranty won’t cover that. Fairly straightforward.I asked.
