CCS Cybertruck Adapter

[TyPope]

Zero dollars?

Your time isn't money? Time still costs me housing and food, even if I couldn't be earning money in that time...

Your materials aren't money?

Where do you get free time, tools, and transmission fluid?

-Crissa

I haven't had to replace transmission fluid, timing belts/chains, clutches, or any other maintenance items like that. My vehicles haven't needed those things. Heck, other than my daughter's car, I haven't even had to change brakes.

Oil changes, yes. Those DO take time, no doubt.

For my (current) truck:
I'll probably cross 10,000 miles this month. I bought it in September of last year. I suspect that my mileage per year will be much greater as I've changed from a 16-mile to 95-mile daily commute. I've added red text to the things I'd probably take the truck in for. The rest of the items I'd probably just pick up the parts on the way home from work and do them myself. Anything past the 100,000 mile point probably won't matter as I'd probably be in a newer vehicle by then. I get 48mpg average over 9,500 miles in this one but I think in the next few years, the hybrid part will be more robust. But that won't matter if my Cyberbeast ever gets here!

How does it prevent chaege currents greater than the 300A limit?
At its listed 500V DC maximum, that's only 150kW whereas Cybertruck will pull >250kW and is more like 400V so 600 Amps

Thank you for your feedback! Here’s the corrected parameter information for your reference:

DC Output: Max Voltage 1000V, Max Current 300A
AC Output: Max Voltage 240V, Max Current 80A
Supports up to 240kW of power;

If you have any more questions or feedback, feel free to let me know! ?

Higher voltage rating is great to see.
Still, the 300A limit would be exceeded at a 250kW charge station if the pack voltage is less than 833V (which it would likely always be for Cybertruck) .
Same with a 150kW (or higher) 500V station since the pack would be ~400V max.
How does the adapter work in these situations? Is it relying in the EVSE and vehicle thermal monitoring? Does it have internal thermal limit switch that opens the control signal?

So is there a legitimate CCS-1 to CT NACS adapter available on market that works?

There is a thermal monitoring sensor inside the adapter, which will cut off the power when the temperature exceeds 50℃ (122℉) to prevent the cable from being damaged or burned due to overheating.

Maybe you can have a try

Living in Arizona where it routinely reaches 115℉ in the shade, it sounds like the thermal shutoff would make it nearly impossible to CCS charge for 3-4 months of the year. Charging in the sun would push the temperature of the adapter well above 140℉ before charging even started.

The A2Z adapter is not available yet, but I would recommend waiting for that one unless you need one now. https://a2zevshop.com/collections/c...1-to-cybertruck-j1772-ccs1-12-months-warranty

Just found this one but wow. $250....

Pricey, but 500A max and claims to have smarts built in to limit current/ heating.

Thank you, just ordered. The Tesla CCS adapter (which is not compatible with the CT) is the same cost but handles less amperage than this one, so I don't think the price is as outrageous as you're making it out to be. Plus, there is a 10% off coupon right on the page, so it's actually less than the Tesla adapter.

I actually had a lot of problems even with the 3rd party NACS there. 106F full sun and at EVGo I’d get a message after I was in the mall that charging was reduced from 50kW to basically Level 2 32A.
I have not directly had that issue with a Supercharger though. You can normally weave in a lunch/dinner/shop if your renting a car or don’t have home charging available but this stuff definitely wrecked my ability to traverse the valley a couple years ago. On the flip side even the chargepoint ones at Tempe Marketplace ended up charging me $29 for about 3hrs of charging (at happy hour). They charged a parking fee, and if someone parked next to you they’d halve the charge rate from 30A down to 15A so I basically ended up with 29 miles of range for $29. So thats a hard pass. Later in my trip I got a free charge at a luxury apartment complex on chargepoint so ?‍ lol.
Tesla later opened up a number of superchargers in the area where I stay so this became less a bother and generally try to get to the superchargers early or late when the kWh is cheapest (more residential rates or near it).

The kWh rate (home/public) and gas prices is absolutely regional. I even have these Blink chargers in this small town I’m near charging $0.52/kWh which is basically just price gouging. The commercial power rate in my town is about $0.04/kWh and home is $0.08. I can understand needing to cover the hardware/maintenance, and half the time the public ones seem to have the cables ran over, or in disarray. A lot of these setups picked up the old gas pump baggage from crappy kiosks/experiences where your sitting there playing games of plugging in first, unplugging trying to get the app to ”talk” to the pedestal etc. The whole thing felt like a bad joke.

We just launched one Cybertruck CCS1 X J1772 To Tesla(NACS) Fast Charging Adapter, perfect for CT Owners bring when on trips! Check it here: https://bit.ly/3YTFIx6 ? ?

Guys... FYI.... be careful of this guy. I'm fairly sure this vendor is a scammer..

I ordered this within hours after @Teslaunch posted the above. They were quick to charge my credit card. I ordered this and several days, later I received an email saying:

Sorry to bother you. I am Joe from Teslaunch. Thank you for your purchase. We wanted to let you know that your most recent order is currently out of stock. We're doing everything we can do to get more in stock soon, and we apologize for the delay shipping!​

​

Thank you for your patience in waiting for a few days. We'll get your order taken care of asap!​

​

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.​

First, the web site is sketchy as hell. The contact number goes to a Michigan number, but its Google voice. To contact them, they want you to whatsapp them.

I don't know if anyone else has ordered from them, but this looks like a US front to a Chinese operations.

They seem to have bad reveiews:

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/teslaunch.net?stars=1

Their website shows them here in the US using a Michigan phone number. But it goes to Google voice. If you want to contact them, its via Whatsapp. I get no responses.

I know they are a vendor here, but this is really sketchy. I have created a credit card dispute with them. If they are fully legit, then I am happy to apologize. But the reddit forums have a lot of bad stuff to say about them.

I used the Kyle Connor workaround on my last road trip. The place I was staying didn’t have (220 volt) power available and the closest supercharger was 20 miles away. A ChargePoint station (62.5kW) was only 2 miles away. The adapter setup (EVJect + Tesla CCS) worked perfectly.

Using it everyday is up to you but it came in handy on my last road trip with the Cybertruck.

What exactly is the Kyle Connor workaround? I searched the forum, but it only had this one result. TIA, J

Kyle stacks the break-away plug with the CCS adapter. It's not safe for thermal reasons, but does allow charging.
