This chart I found one time showing 6 feet of uncooled cable. v3 superchargers operate at 400v (blue line), looks like 6 feet of cable would be able to handle it and weigh 45lbs. Now, let's take into account that we only really need an extra 4 feet or so, and also can relax the cooling scenario a bit because it isn't something that will be used repeatedly by customers all day long every day.
Don't you have to also account for the uncooled cabling in the car from the charge port to the battery?

not really, it can be thicker and heavier than would make sense for someone to carry, so it likely isn't cooled nor does it need to be. In teslas, its actually a solid piece of aluminum bus bar from the charge connector to the onboard charger.

Kudos to them for making this, but I wouldn't put it past Elon to have something embedded in the adaptor to not allow 3rd party equipment use on their Supercharger network.
