    So couldn't AE54 move the VDS to the center too?

    Anyways, the AE vents look different.

    Don't think they'd touch Tesla proprietary stuff
    And I think AE's vents are superior, but realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    That being said, I don't want to hijack this thread because
    A) I'm an honorable guy
    B) I have an adapter on back order and don't want to unsettle hcsharp
    PS-This is not another prize driven question

    One little nit-pick issue. It takes a bit of force to remove the adaptor from the roadster.

    i noticed that on the tesla HPC connector, the 3 registration pins that slide in the helical grooves on the car-side receptacle are some yellow metal - i am guessing brass - whereas HCSHARP's adapter uses what appear to be steel guide pins.

    given that the receptacle connector on the car appears to be machined (non-magnetic) stainless, i can imagine some galling could occur with the relatively similar materials/hardness.

    i have my adapter apart at the moment so maybe i should replace those pins with brass and see if it makes a difference.

    What kind of lube would you suggest? Graphite? Silicone? White Lithium? Molly EP? What?
