I'm hoping Ford comes through with that free adapter , sooner then later , last week I went to Orlando Airport to drop off my brother , living far away from the airport I had to find a fast charger , there was one at the Orlando Mall , 12 Tesla charge stations , 2 were in use , 6 Electrify America 5 were in use , I got lucky one left and it worked ! Now if I had that adapter I wouldn't have been so stressed out ! WE need those adapters !!!*"This product is for presentation purposes. Tesla hasn't yet opened their supercharger network to all EV's.
This product will be very useful around 2024/2025."
Several Supercharger locations, mainly in NY and CA, were recently retrofit with 'magic boxes'(an adapter) for CCS vehicles to be able to charge, so it's possible that having their app might could work at 'any' Tesla location, but that yet remains to be seen.
on the subject of adapting CCS vehicles to Tesla chargers: Tesla has to open up their 'network' at Superchargers to first ALLOW CCS vehicles to plug-n-charge there... I'm not sure any of that has happened yet, even IF you CAN by and adapter, upload their charging app, register your CCS vehicle, and then be able to activate and pay at one of their chargers. *the ad you link to actually even says this.
It also seems to be a VERY EXPENSIVE adapter to do such a simple task.
On the other hand, another adapter in my arsenal would not be a bad idea - giving you more charging options and locations in the future. I'll wait for the lower-cost alternative to eventually show. Ford is supposed to send us one already, Free.
Musk and Ford (along with the other auto makers) have already said it will be early 2024 before we have access to the SC network. No need to rush to get an adapter that may or may not work when that happens...I'm hoping Ford comes through with that free adapter , sooner then later , last week I went to Orlando Airport to drop off my brother , living far away from the airport I had to find a fast charger , there was one at the Orlando Mall , 12 Tesla charge stations , 2 were in use , 6 Electrify America 5 were in use , I got lucky one left and it worked !

It will be rough if the cable isn't lengthened, but at some chargers (like the one close to me here in Vegas), the end units could be used with us only taking one space. But... my observation is that the end most spots get taken first by the Tesla's charging.I have charged several times at the Tesla superchargers in Brewster, NY. The magic dock is an excellent solution. The big issue is the length of the super charger cable. You basically need to take up two spots and position the truck as close as possible. I hope that any “adapters” offered by an OEM will include an additional few feet of cable, otherwise there will be some pissed off people who can’t access a charger because a non Tesla is taking up two spaces.
