Yay, Tesla charging … July 31!

Does Tesla have the fast chargers as fast as EA? EA charges so fast - I had a Tesla before and it took forever. I know the Air charges faster but I'm thinking the fastest EA is faster than the fastest Tesla charger?
Many existing CCS charging providers' stations (EA, EVGo, etc) are 350kW max and can charge faster than any public Tesla supercharger. Newer non-Tesla CCS / NACS stations are typically 400kW.
Remember that the Air is limited to 50kW max on current Tesla stations though.

@DeaneG You would be impressed. I have never seen a more ROBUST EV adapter. I have No doubt it can handle 500amps at 1000v, day and night. Future proofed. It must weigh twice of a level 2 adapter.

First rate packaging. Custom hd foam insert.

Knowing this forum, I am waiting for complaints that it's "too heavy." :cool:
 
So it reads 23,500 Superchargers available. I just checked the Superchargers on my usual route from NYC to VT and NONE of my usual tesla superchargers are available on either route i take. I own a Tesla model 3 and owned a model S previous to my AT. I wonder if the app needs updating?
 
Update the app, and when you click on the charger icon in the navigation tab, click on charging filters, turn on all brands and set the minimum charging power to 50kw. Then you should see MANY superchargers.

It showed a LOT more just not my usual spots unfortunately. thx for the tip
 
Yeah I suspect those must be V2 and not compatible.
Well, I for one must say that this is a bit of a disappointment, to see that so many Tesla Superchargers are not compatible. I ordered the Lucid NACS adapter as a back up to EA charging for long distance trips, and while I had no issue living with 50KW charging as a backup, it seems that the actual utility of Lucid Air charging at Tesla Superchargers is less than I had hoped for. That being said, some insurance is better than no insurance. Thanks Lucid!

Every V3 supercharger station I'm aware of around South Florida appears to be compatible with the adaptor per the App. I know a V2 showed up as incompatible so i guess its a location by location thing.

23,500+ chargers is significantly more than you had access to yesterday…..

Yet that number is not the actual number of compatible chargers, capisce? And I can also be disappointed as well as grateful!

Have you got proof of that?

Tesla operates around 32K stalls across the US with the V1’s and V2’s off limits due to them using a propriety communication protocol instead of CCS. They have roughly 22K V3 stalls and 2K V4 stalls which are compatible and is mighty close to the number Lucid is advertising.

Please see:

NACS | Tesla https://share.google/RMtfzelK5XG5KpAgB

There are more than 35,000 stalls for Tesla cars.

>23,500 for non-tesla cars that got the access deal (Ford, Lucid...)

>2,000 for non-Tesla cars that have not signed up for the access deal (VinFast...)
