Fair enough, I was considering personal transit. These are like the equivalent of the "megacharger" that's coming for the Tesla Semi.

Ok, they have so much demand for Tesla's they cant keep up with it but have massive superchargers in plenty of locations. Fair enough? :)

Nope.. and every other vendor is having issues implementing it. The ID.4 from VW is awaiting a software update to enable plug and charge. Tesla's is proprietary.

CA has superchargers that have 50+ stalls.. it's not that they don't have a lot of capacity -- it's that damn near everyone has a Tesla.

"everybody other than Tesla" doesn't count for much just yet. It certainly will in the future. Tesla's level 2 connector lines up electrically with J1772 anyways, hence the tiny adapter.

In those countries they're using the CCS combo port. Usually because they're mandated to.

Exactly why it won't happen anytime soon, unfortunately.

This is what I came here to post. :) They truly are the bleeding edge of the future of cars.

Seems ancient at this point, but a total game changer at the time. I can actually recall getting my invite in 2006.
