>owners likely already have a CCS1 Level 1 or Level 2 home charger to top up their cars’ batteries overnight. That same charger can be used to feed electricity to a Tesla-made EV with the help of an adapter, as long as it’s not a Cybertruck
This is incorrect. Cybertruck owners can still use their old home chargers.
According to the video[0] they tested the Tesla CCS1 adapter, which is only used for Level 3 charging. Level 1 and Level 2 "CCS1" is better known as J1772, and the included J1772 adapter works fine with Cybertruck.[1]
Road and Track already corrected their story,[2] but apparently InsideEVs hasn't done so yet.
