Please test at the Monticello, UT visitor center Chargepoint CCS 32-125 kW charger. TIA! I use this location frequently with my Model Y; dreaming of the day I have a Cybertruck at this location.
Thats the exact location for why I bought it :)

That one says 350A
Max powers (worse at lower SOC, pack voltage)
@ 400V = 140kW
@ 800V = 280kW
On the plus side, it has temperature monitoring.
That looks good. It shows 250kw like the one my buddy bought. Are there any others that are rated higher or does that pretty much max out the non-tesla chargers. I heard there were some non-tesla chargers that could hit 350kw for the Cybertruk.

This one from Amazon does work on a Cybertruck without modification. One of the reviews is mine. I have no idea if it would work a 350kW but it worked on a local charger and I think it would get you though a no supercharger area.

Damn - Now that one is unavailable! It actually as a higher amperage rating than the other listed in this thread.

Does anyone know if this one locks the CCS latch once fully connected, ensuring no unplanned disconnections or thefts. Includes an interlock safety pin preventing accidental removal of charging connector while charging. Unplug it with authorization from your car, phone or charging station's control panel.

Any chance you received and tested this yet? Very interested. Cheers!
Funny you mentioned that. They said it would ship October 14. I looked into it and it hadn't shipped yet. I sent them an email this morning asking for status.

Indeed, if that's your need, that's your need.

But for most folks, CCS becomes an alternative when there are no Superchargers available.

For example, you are spending a few days in the North Georgia mountains, and you don't want to come down to Gainesville or over to I-75.
There's at least a NACS plug on the Cornelia Georgia Power ChargePoint site now.
yeah, I was just up in Cherokee North Carolina at the casino and noticed the lack of chargers going north from atlanta, but, apparently they will be installing superchargers at Harrahs’s as it won the vote last year.

Exactly - there are still gaps in the Supercharger network with CCS alternatives even if they're not necessarily as fast. For example, I towed my camper east across northern MN to camp on the north shore of Lake Superior a few weeks ago. While I could have made it there on Superchargers alone, it would have been at least one extra charging stop and almost 100 miles out of my way. Not to mention having to tow my camper through the middle of Duluth (which isn't a huge city by any means, but it's a lot easier sticking to rural roads). The route I took cut straight from Bemidji to Silver Bay. There are zero Superchargers along that 200ish mile corridor, but several CCS chargers including a 240KW one at the Ford dealer in Eveleth.

That reminds me, it's time to vote for Grand Rapids or Virginia to get a Supercharger again ...

I have one of these on order as well (been using the EVJect adapter in the meantime since I already had a Tesla CCS adapter from my Model Y). I got an email from them Tuesday with an update. Apparently there was a cosmetic manufacturing defect with their first batch. The next batch is on the way and they mentioned they could start shipping as early as next week (assuming no issues with them).

I'm hoping they do as I'd like to test it on my next trip south to the Minneapolis metro area in a few weeks (~300 miles south of my house). While there are plenty of Superchargers between me and Minneapolis the most direct path along Hwy 10 is not. There is, however, a 180KW CCS charger that would allow me to take that path even in the dead of winter. Also, the EVJect solution does work fine, but it's a bit awkward dealing with two adapters especially when trying to remove them post charge.

Is that 180kW a 400V-500V post? If so, the adapter's 350A limit will likely be exceeded.

Before my CT brick'd with software update, I used Teslaunch's CCS adapter (1x) on FPLs charger station...my CT actually brick'd right after when I got home and downloaded update...hope not related...?

Worked no problem on 250kW unit and didn't get above 185.

Fairly typical experience I see at Tesla Superchargers.

Your mileage may vary.

I'm pretty sure that one is an 800-1000V charger. Oddly enough, it was down on my way out to the North Shore (card reader couldn't communicate with the network) so I had to use a nearby 50KW CCS charger instead. On the way back home a few days later it was working and I did see a spike of around 200KW for a bit (battery was at 30-40%). I'm aware the adapter isn't really designed for that type of power, though the amps should have been fine (and to my understanding is the most important). It didn't get hot or anything during charging.

Right, it's the amps that cause heating. If it runs 800V, then 180kW can be handled within the 350A limit.

There are now 5 sets of Superchargers from the I-985 / I-85 split on the way to Cherokee. 2 of them past Gainesville in Sylva and Franklin. A round trip is only 320 miles from downtown ATL. And Sylva is only 15 miles from Harrah's.
Granted, one in Clayton would be nice for the N Georgia area, but gong from Atlanta to Knoxville up US 441 is a non-issue, been doing it for 6 years. I don't even need to be near full anymore.
