Definitely. I can't say I'm surprised, but a little part in me was hoping that you'd been right...They just cancelled my orderPoop
Oh well, worth a try eh

Tesla Model S CHAdeMO Adapter in the wild, charges ‘as fast as a supercharger’
Tesla Model S CHAdeMO Adapter in the wild, charges | Electrek
Not sure the "as fast as a Supercharger" claim holds up with the 65kW being around half of the W as a Tesla Supercharger but interesting to see one of these being used.
If the price was a little more reasonable, it would really help tie the country together.

So release the darn thing! I know, "it's done when it's done", but I could really use this!
Going to have to charge with 18kW (3x26A @ 400V) again next week while I could have been charging with 46kW (370V @ 125A) at the same station.
I was just playing a bit with the Tesla API and I noticed this field: "fast_charger_type"
It was also noticed by another user on this forum: Model S REST API - Page 88
So it seems that this is something required for the CHAdeMO adapter?

Just for giggles, I too placed an order, paid and got a confirmation. Any bets on how long before the cancellation shows up?

Had my hands on a CHAdeMo adapter the other day. Early rev from Tesla provided compatibility with some Blink EV Chargers, but not Eaton DC Fast Chargers. Apparently it requires a firmware update to support those DC Fast Chargers.
We are getting closer to a fully functional Tesla to ChadeMo adapter....

It was a beta being used by a Tesla driver (non-tesla employee)... I find it encouraging that they have a reliable enough build to sample it externally.
The unit would purportedly not yet support all CHAdeMO's. For example it would support Blink's CHAdeMO but not Eaton's DC fast charger.

And the fact that this individual pulled the posts and pictures suggests that the testing is under NDA. Still, it's encouraging that at least one is in the wild - means that work is progressing on CHAdeMO adaptors.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the percentage of DC CHAdeMO chargers are that are NOT located at Nissan dealerships? I know many Nissan dealerships will let you charge for free, but I would still feel weird asking. I've seen these chargers in the wild in areas other than Nissan dealerships I just don't have any clue what the ratio is.. Anybody?

Seems like you have a US centric view. Outside of the US, lots. Countries like Japan and Estonia have nationwide Chademo networks.
In others, not nationwide but the majority are not at Nissan dealers.

I just took a quick browse through Plugshare. There are now 24 CHAdeMO sites in Arizona. 7 of them are at Nissan dealerships. There are a few others at other dealerships -- Ford and Toyota, although they are all Blink Network chargers... The rest are at grocery stores, a bookstore, gas stations, an apartment building, etc...
Edit -- all but 4 are in metro Phoenix. 2 are in Tucson. 2 are along I-17 between Phoenix and Tucson. Would be nice to see more along highways -- especially on non-Supercharger routes.

Tesla should be embarrassed for taking so long with their CHAdeMO adapter and other accessories (center console comes to mind). Yes, they are a startup with limited resources, blahdeyblahblah. Then stop promising things that you can't deliver. Stop charging people's credit cards for products that cannot yet be installed (center console comes to mind yet again). And maybe Tesla can direct some of that "reckless growth", according to Jerome, towards making accessories that owners have been promised for months. The only results I've seen are multiple deadlines missed.
