> Tesla to CCS adapters, which are vendor locked to only charge GM and Ford vehicles

What adapters are you talking about here? I can't figure out if this is real.

Edit: Oh, you're talking about the proposed adapter as part of this deal.

Technically these already exist with the Magic Dock on some superchargers, and for these it's available to all CCS1 cars. Here's a video of it: https://youtu.be/pUYqDNCIFD8?t=299

But these are physically locked to the supercharger. The original comment was claiming a vendor lock-in for the Combo 1 to NACS adaptor that Ford and GM would be providing.
