Now that Tesla has the CHAdeMO adapter available, I think it makes sense for them to offer one free adapter to businesses that offer free CHAdeMO charging, in a program similar to the Destination Charging program. In the Destination Charging program, Tesla provides one or more HPWCs in exchange for the business paying to install them and paying for the electricity. The CHAdeMO adapters cost less, and the CHAdeMO chargers charge faster. The business is already paying for the electricity. So if the Destination Charging program makes sense, and I think it does, then I think the idea of giving away some CHAdeMO adapters also makes sense.
There is already a thread dedicated to people lending each other CHAdeMO adapters here:

And people in some of the referral threads are talking about using the money from referrals to pay for CHAdeMO adapters and then donating those adapters. It was from one of those posts that I came up with this idea, as frankly I did not realize there were a lot of businesses providing free CHAdeMO charging.
Tesla owners who will have frequent need of CHAdeMO chargers obviously should just buy a CHAdeMO adapter. But there is clearly some need for rare or occasional use, as evidenced by the CHAdeMO lending thread. I really think it would be a good idea for Tesla to look into giving away some CHAdeMO adapters, under the right circumstances.
