Yes. It’s a level 2 charger not a dc fast charger. Usually found at hotels for overnight charging.
Thank you, that is critical information as charging at a level 2 charger is painfully SLOW. I suppose the operative word is “destination.” Sanity necessitates overnight charging. Are adapters available for Lucid to Tesla dc fast charger?

No, but as a part of getting additional government funding Tesla will be upgrading and open SC network to include CCS cables. Don’t expect this to happen fast.

Tesla Rejects $6.4M Supercharger Public Funding Over Payment Constraints From No-Screen Design | Carscoops
The fact that Tesla charging stations don't have screens means that they can't offer payment options, and that's a problem for California

It’s better off that way. Tesla is going off UI from their mobile app instead of screen on dispenser stall. It is much robust that way to maintain or upgrade UI.Tesla Rejects $6.4M Supercharger Public Funding Over Payment Constraints From No-Screen Design | Carscoops

Use Plugshare instead. It will show them and give more details along with a rating.

I used Plugshare and ABRP combination to plan my stops for charging. Also used the Electrify America app to make sure the information in all three matches. Plugshare is reliable for sure but no harm in cross verifying the information.

Some destination chargers are 16kW, that’s why I got the 80amp. I have used a few and they have delivered from 9kW to 13kW.

I deliberately avoided TeslaTap brand bc I read somewhere @Bunnylebowski had his broke off and had piece of TeslaTap head stuck at charging port which he had to get SC to fix it.

I’ve had no problems. I find it to be well made and has pluged and unplugged with no issues. I can only speak from personal experience and I’ve only used it maybe 6 times. The 80amp would also heat up less than the 50amp. If someone charged at 16kW with a 50amp adapter, it wouldn’t surprise me if heat and expansion would be a problem.

They have improved it; it fits much better now.
Frankly, there no need to use a fancy branded/specialized plug. Just have your electrician install a 4-prong dryer plug. Ive been using that for my Tesla for 8 years, and now my Lucid. It gives me 38 miles per hr of charge.... much faster than my Tesla charges.
For the record, one of my companies manufacturers. Installs and operates EV chargers, and still i use a standard dryer plug!!
