Anyone tried the Lectron Vortex NACS adapter or similar?

Now that the Tesla system is opening up, starting with Ford, I'm curious if anyone else has tried one of the NACS supercharger to CCS adapters. I'm aware that Ford uses plug and charge, but other manufacturers do not, so in theory as long as they allow you to initiate charge from the app, it should work.

Just curious if anyone else is trying to push the official timeline and test on their own. Fingers crossed that this sort of a hack does work.

people who have tested it show that it does not work unless your vehicle/manufacturer is "authorized" by Tesla - to date only Ford/Rivian products will successfully start a charging session at a supercharger.

when the charge session is initiated (either by plug&charge or app based) there is some initial handshaking done and during that period Tesla determines if your vehicle is authorized.

we're all going to have to wait for Tesla to enable charging for VW/Audi/Porsche vehicles.
