Tesla Network - Destination vs. Supercharger, what do I need?

[TheBertShow]

So (I think) I know that for a Tesla Supercharger, I will need the NACS adapter that Ford says they will eventually (one day) ship to us for use with our Lightnings.

However, from what I’ve read online, it’s not as clear to me what, if anything, I need to charge my Lightning at a Tesla Destination Charger.

For example, I’m planning a 600 mile trip in the next month. There is a perfect halfway point at a Hampton Inn that according to PlugShare, has 2 Tesla J1772 chargers. There are reviews for it suggesting other EV’s besides Teslas have been charged here. But of course the only Lightning that attempted it said it wouldn’t activate!

I’ve attached 2 screenshots. So, what would I need to charge here? Btw-Tesla’s website calls this a Destination Charger. And if I don’t need anything for this particular Desination Charger; what is an adapter I can use for other Destination Chargers, and how will I know when I need it?

sorry for the stupid question…

Hard to know if that unsuccessful attempt was due to not having the right adapter or other issues.

This is what you need https://a2zevshop.com/products/a2z-stellar-plug

If you're tired of waiting for FORD: get this as well https://a2zevshop.com/products/nacs-ccs1

Buy them as a package..................

Per the first screen shot you post, if the hotel knows what they truly have, you don't need anything. it lists the Tesla charger as a J-1772, which they have sold in the past and per the picture I would say the plug is much larger than their NACS plug, so I think you are good to go.

Tesla destination chargers are the very same charger they sell for home use - typically referred to as L2 and Superchargers being L3. They have been sold most typically with NACS, some with the J-1772 and most recently the one with the both NACS and J-1772 using the dock.
