I am almost certain it is (will be when it is actually released).The Korean adapter is not pass through,
Right, they will probably need to get a hardware retrofit for 2 or 3 hundred dollars, just like all of the existing Model S and X cars in Europe needed to do if they wanted to use their CCS adapter.current north america cars do not have the ability to handle CCS1,
It was not just software. In Europe, they had to retrofit different charging hardware into the cars to be able to communicate the CCS protocol with the (pass-through) adapter. And I don't think there really is much difference about whether this is CCS1 or CCS2. This will probably be almost the same situation.i don't know if its just the software or if there is more to it, but notice in europe they went to ccs2 (not ccs1).
Well yeah, that will be whenever Tesla starts offering the car retrofits, which they probably will not if the only avenue is people grey market importing them from South Korea.I believe that even if the korean adapter makes it to market in the coming year, its highly likely it wont work in north america for some time after that.
No, they are not working on that issue at all. Setec is working on an entirely different issue. They are not trying to pass CCS into the car, like the official adapters from Tesla are doing (will do). What Setec is doing is some pretty complicated conversion protocol to fool the car into thinking it is getting one of the two fast charging protocols it already is built to understand: CHAdeMO or Supercharger.Setec is working hard to resolve this issue right now
Yes, agree. They are working on a very challenging task, and do seem very active in trying to make it work.and all of my dealings with Setec shows a company who is dedicated to resolving issues as quickly as possible (remember covid makes it virtually impossible for them to have boots on the ground in north america).
