I’m not talking about J1772, which is AC-only… Tesla to CCS is what one needs for DCFC from a Tesla SC…and the ability to handshake/authorize the charge.

Tesla has launched a CCS to Tesla adapter…currently only available in KR… $250 retail. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if there is an adapter in that price range….however, I expect it to be over $500….it’s the tax to use their network.
