Same with EVgo station.I used mine at a Chargepoint last week and that technique didn’t work (MX legacy) so I unlocked it on the nav screen. I’m sure the app or fob would also have worked, just not the CCS button.

I tried it today. After I pushed the stop button on the EA charger, I made sure the car was unlocked, then pushed the button on the EA CCS plug and pulled the plug out from the adapter. The adapter stayed in the car. After a few seconds, I was able to pull out the adapter. The charge flap on the car stayed up until the car locked, at which point it closed.For all the EA stations I used so far (16 sessions on my roadtrips so far), you just press the button on the CCS handle. When I did that, it unlocked the chargeport, as the T logo switched to white, and I was able to pull the whole thing out, then when it is out, I press the button on the handle to remove the adapter. The only time this didn't work, was when I didn't have my phone on me, so I had the wife unlock the chargeport from inside the car.
That isn't supposed to be possible. The latch on the CCS plug must have been broken...then pushed the button on the EA CCS plug and pulled the plug out from the adapter. The adapter stayed in the car.
Alternatively, the adapter partly dislodged enough from the car inlet so that the CCS plug was no longer locked to the adapter.That isn't supposed to be possible. The latch on the CCS plug must have been broken...
I wonder if some CCS plugs were built out of tolerance on the latch, looking at the 3 components of car, plug, and adaptor if made to spec it should not be possible.That isn't supposed to be possible. The latch on the CCS plug must have been broken...
I have heard that the CCS latch is prone to being broken, from other forums... I encountered a broken latch on one of the stations near Redding. One of the handles wouldn't connect to the car. The other did, but but it wouldn't latch/click onto the adapter... I just made sure it was snug, and tried it anyways, and it worked.That isn't supposed to be possible. The latch on the CCS plug must have been broken...

i suppose either could be true, although this happened at two chargers. Both of the CCS plugs were "well used" so maybe the latch was broken on both. Or, since my adapter is new, maybe it's a tight fit and I didn't pull hard enough....Alternatively, the adapter partly dislodged enough from the car inlet so that the CCS plug was no longer locked to the adapter.
It could be this, as the first few times I used it, I thought the adapter was stuck. It also doesn't help that the CCS cable is so heavy/thick, causing the adapter to put pressure on the port... After a while I got accustomed to supporting the cable with my hand, and removing the adapter/CCS handle with two hands... This worked much easier then trying to remove it one handed like I do at SuperChargers.Or, since my adapter is new, maybe it's a tight fit and I didn't pull hard enough....
Out of curiousity, what was the ambient temperature when you did this? I only ask, becuase I happened to charge at an EA a few days ago, and plugged in at 30% SoC at a 150 kW charger. I did not precondition, and only drove about 20 minutes from my hotel to visit my niece, and then stopped at the EA charger near her apt. It was about 106 degrees outside, and I peaked at 149 kW. According to the app, it said my charging session was also 30-90% SoC, and took a hair over 30 minutes flatProviding another CCS1 adapter charging data point:
Got to test my CCS1 adapter yesterday at an Electrify America. The stall was a 150kW stall and I charged from 30% - 90% in 34 minutes. I didn't monitor what the station said I was getting, but the Model Y said it peaked at 128kW @ 41% and tapered down to 39kW before hitting the 90% charge limit.

I was logging with TeslaFi and I wanted to see what it was like compared to v2 and v3 SuC's that I had charged with in the past. I know that a sample size of 1 for each of these is in no way conclusive, but it looks like this gets similar performance to Superchargers between the 30% - 90% SoC range.
I normalized one graph by SoC and one by the duration of the charge:

Of course where a v3 SuC will shine the most is below this SoC, but still good info to know.
Also, I got a bonus as I got to check out a Lucid Air Grand Touring that was charging next to us

149kW, that's amazing! I bet your pack was way warmed up better than mine, it was 94°F here during the charge (no preconditioning as well). We had just been running some errands around town but stopped to visit with some friends for around an hour before going to charge.Out of curiousity, what was the ambient temperature when you did this?

Here's my session summary. As you can see I pulled 149.3 kW from a 150 kW stall.These chargers are maxed at 350A. If you are 3/Y, the max you can get is around 380x350=133kw if you are new S/X, you can get about 150kw
Thank you for this, I was wondering what the current limit was.These chargers are maxed at 350A. If you are 3/Y, the max you can get is around 380x350=133kw if you are new S/X, you can get about 150kw
It looks like EA actually has some 500A chargers out there now according to the folks in this thread:These chargers are maxed at 350A. If you are 3/Y, the max you can get is around 380x350=133kw if you are new S/X, you can get about 150kw

Testing CCS1 adapter on my MYP in New England
Tried out the OEM Tesla CCS1 adapter at a couple Electrify America stations this past weekend. The first one was a 150kW CCS1 charger in Dorchester MA which gave me 30kW @ 70% SoC. The next one was a 350kW CCS1 charger in Providence RI which gave me 100 kW @ 42% SoC. I’ll have to roll in with a...teslamotorsclub.com
Although determining which one is which would take some investigation around the charging hardware.
