Tesla Cybertruck Doesn't Match CCS1 Adapters, Here's Why

Cybertruck. (Doc. Tesla)

JAKARTA - Tesla closed the end of 2023 by launching a Cybertruck that has been waiting for its presence for a long time. The car has now been sent to its respective owners, so that vehicle users can quickly study the electric pickup.

Despite having advanced technology with a striking design, it turns out that a shortage of Cybertruck is found, which is unable to connect to CCS Combo 1 charging which is standard in electric vehicles (EVs).

Reporting from InsideEVs, Thursday, January 4, according to the X Kyle Conner (@itskyleconner) account, which owns this model as well as a Out of Spec car reviewer, found that his Cybertruck refused an adapter from CCS1 to NACS to recharge the battery. It is likely that the car was designed to charge the Tesla Supercharger or Tesla Wall Charger.

According to him, the large adapter did not fit into the port because there was a plastic round arch blocking it. So, the adapter cannot be fully installed into the battery charger port.

To circumvent it, Kyle was forced to tear the arch of the sheaf so that the adapter and port could be installed properly. Nonetheless, this vehicle has no problem whatsoever when the adapter will be removed from the port.

However, the problem doesn't just stop there. The Cybertruck also refuses to recharge its battery from EVGo's DC CCS1 fast charging station, even though the adapter's condition has been fully installed.

Chances are, the pickup is only ready to accept low-voltage charging such as the Level 2 unit. However, that will only happen for chargers at home. Or the Cybertruck can only use an adapter that Tesla only approves of.

Meanwhile, there has been no answer from Tesla regarding this issue. Of course this is a problem for Tesla considering this model is the most advanced passenger vehicle carrying the 800V architecture that will also be presented in more affordable models. If the Cybertruck cannot charge from CCS sources, it is likely that the next model will have the same problem.
