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.

Is the Lucid Air limited on the V4 Superchargers as well, if anyone has tried? Thanks.

Some of the smarter people here will chime in tomorrow but for tonight...

Don't judge a book by its cover...
The nickname “V3.5” for Tesla’s V4 Superchargers: while the charging posts themselves are physically updated—with longer cables, sleeker design, and better accessibility for non-Tesla EVs—they’re often still powered by the same cabinets used in V3 Superchargers, which max out at 250 kW. So even though the hardware looks like V4, the charging performance is essentially V3-level, hence the cheeky nickname “V3.5.” It’s a hybrid of old and new tech.

Tesla has announced true V4 cabinets that will support up to 500 kW for cars, but those are still in the permitting and rollout phase. Once you pull up to one of those, you will not be throttled back to 50kW but get the full Monty of 500kW!

First post (long time lurker)! Just relaying orders adapter on 7/22/25, shipped on 7/29/25, arrived today 8/4/25 (1 day earlier than expected).

Works great except it won’t reach on the older Tesla charging spots, lol. Would be nice to have a 3-4 ft extension cable.

(Valet recently wrecked my 19s on a curb, ugh)

My 19s aren’t as cool as @Amster ‘s Gravity Bears.

So close but so far!! (Ft. @Denali_Dane )

I don't think either Air or Gravity will get 500kW. I think Air maxes out at 350 and Gravity at 400. Sure beats my X at 150kW!
