Tesla CCS Adapter Issues

I try charging my Tesla Model Y with the new CCS adapter available from South Korea with very mixed results. It could have been the Electrify America station I was using or some other factor, but this wasn’t what I was expecting based on other reviews. I’d hold off buying the adapter until I either really needed a CCS option for a specific trip, or it’s available in the US and fully supported by the CCS networks here.

If you’re looking for the adapter it can be found here:
