Why the f* do we not have a good CCS answer yet? Curious if someone knows the details. Specifically:
- Why has Tesla not provided a CCS adapter after almost a year (when they've already got one (see the next question))?
- Why don't they just provide an extension, adapter, or tweak the one they've already got? Or offer a stupid expensive retrofit that tweaks the CT charging port cover to make it fit?
- Why do ALL of the reported aftermarket adapters seem to disappear as soon as people realize they work with CT? Is there some legal stuff going on in the background? It's an odd coincidence that at least 3 different adapters in this forum that have reported success are all unavailable today.
- Why haven't they enabled CHAdeMO? Yeah, I know it lost the CCS war, but it's enabled in every single other Tesla, and the adapter fits. If Tesla still has a goal of EV adoption, they need to enable everything they can to make sure I can charge wherever I can get Volts and Amps.
Would really appreciate anyone with knowledge on the topic, either from Tesla or with some other credibility. I know Tesla wants everyone to NACS, and I know for 95% of driving the "masses" don't need it. But Tesla doesn't cater to the "masses". They cater to adoption. And I drive through eastern OK a lot, so until they actually send some stuff to McAlester and complete a 6 year old task, I'm stuck going quite a bit out of my way every time.

. I like to be prepared... when I show my truck at shows/events, I usually tell people "If I can get electricity, I can charge". With the CT, so far, that's been a lie. I'll wait until some reviews come in for the A2Z one and may consider it.
