I’m planning a trip to New Mexico through Roswell, which is at least 100 miles away from the nearest Supercharger. For that trip, it’s CCS or bust.Luckily, I’ve never needed a CCS adapter when I’ve been on road trips.
Fair point. I guess if I were planning on routing through roads less traveled, it would be a worthwhile investment. Being in the northeast, I’ve never encountered a road trip I couldn’t tackle with NACS and J1772. And I’ve driven south to Virginia (DC area) and all the way north to Maine (Bar Harbor), close to Nova Scotia. Or as the locals refer to it, BAH HAHBHAH.I’m planning a trip to New Mexico through Roswell, which is at least 100 miles away from the nearest Supercharger. For that trip, it’s CCS or bust.
I’ve plotted routes that use Superchargers only, but it’s a significant detour, and still leaves little margin for error without access to 3rd-party charging.
The link above works, although it gave me errors sometimes. Keep trying.I can’t find this on the shop and the link does not work. Anyone got a functional link?

https://shop.tesla.com/product/ccs1-to-nacs-adapter?web=trueThat’s so weird. The link opens the app for me but doesn’t show the product and when I go to the menu under adapters it shows the j1772 adapter and mobile connector attachments but not that. I can Ven find it in a Google search but when I sign in with a Tesla account it opens my phone app and does not show it. I have a CT and model x in my account.
I bought a MCEVKELN adapter several months ago, and I have used it 3 times. One at a ChargePoint 200kW charge in Fairplay, CO, as there was no Tesla supercharger anywhere near, and twice at a 300kW Rivian charger in Del Norte, CO because is was an even split between Denver and Pagosa Springs. At both stations, I was able to get the maximum charge rate. Although, one of the 2 ChargePoint chargers would not connect to my CT. No issues at Rivian.....meanwhile the CCS chargers on my rural drive are now $$$$$ compared to Tesla Superchargers, so doubtful I will ever use my A2Z adapter.
Nice to finally see a Tesla option!
