When I first purchased my 22 Lightning Lariat ER in April I immediately purchased the Shockflow 48 Amp Tesla to J1772 adapter. To this date I have never used it. I have an upcoming trip in a couple week where I will need an adapter. PlugShare shows the charger I intend to use is a 16kw Tesla destination charger.
After doing more research I’ve read that the truck can do up to 80A and the 48A adapter I currently own could melt.
I went ahead and purchased the 80A adapter sold by Seguma. It hasn’t came in yet.
My question is would the destination charger actually put out enough power to cause issues with the 48A adapter and essentially damage the truck? PlugShare shows reviews of drivers getting 12kw. Am I overthinking this?
