Yay, Tesla charging … July 31!

Tesla charging > EA
Significantly overall
Charging just always works

Does anyone know if there is a way to use the J1772 home charger for the AIr with the NACS Gravity ? Is there an adapter for that?

The Gravity comes with the adapter needed for this.

If it's a quality adapter rated at 500A and 1000V, it should work without issue. I'd be comfortable using an adapter from Rivian, Volvo, Polestar, Ford, Lectron, A2Z, but not from Hyundai /Kia, nor one of the hundreds of no-name adapters on Amazon and eBay.

From photos, the Lucid looks identical to the Lectron. Obviously, Lucid had to go to a third party manufacturer that could supply these in quantity, and had a supply chain in place to the US. I noticed the Lucid website has them now backordered till Aug 29

Great
Thank You

Great
Thank You

Adnillien,
Can you use this adapter ( which i will buy for the Air just for flexible use if needed)

NACS to CCS1 Charging Adapter​

to charge the Gravity at an EA is needed ?
thx

No, the NACS to CCS1 is just for the Air.

Gravity comes with a CCS1 to NACS adapter for DC fast charging Gravity at a CCS1 charger like EA.

Great thanks I think I’ve got it straight at least for my Air for now
So the Gravity comes with 2 adapters? (AC and DC)
I suppose when everything is NACS including even at some of the EA’s it will all be easier
Nevertheless it’s all really just a plug once you understand
Sorry to bother you

So who's gonna be the first to report on this activation tomorrow? I am most interested to confirm the belief that the 50 kw max is maintained through the entire charging session.

It will slow down less than 50 above 90%

I can live with that. Most of the time when supercharging my Tesla back in the day I never went that high even on road trips. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze, so to speak.

With the adapter it will match the charging sessions on the magic dock stations.

You have it straight.

I suspect you will draw 50kW from the Tesla SC but only get about 45kW into the battery due to losses from the voltage upconversion and normal charging losses.
