I was watching You tube and there is an adapter for the Tesla chargers that you can use on the Taycan. Does anyone have this? Does it work?

Tesla destinations chargers have a normal Type 2 EV plug and can be used by all cars if released by the owner. Plugs with a white sticker are free for all, with red for Tesla only. used it several times with my X5 45e last year. Super chargers are not released yet but I have read some rumors Tesla might release them. So for now you can't use Tesla super chargers.

So what is the adaptor I have read about? Is that only for the US? What KW do the destination chargers charge at?

Yes, US only where Tesla have a proprietary plug where as Europe has standardised on Type 2 for AC charging.

Tesla destination chargers can deliver up to 22kW depending on the property and the kind of AC charger in the vehicle.

Not sure what you mean? Don’t all Taycans have the same charger?

I currently use a Tesla Wall Connect Version 3. I also have purchased a Tesla Tap (80amp version). I have no issues charging. I prefer my Tesla Wall Connect over the Porsche option. I prefer the size/form factor of the Tesla, the ease of use, and the reliability of their charging system.

Its different in the UK than the US, so suggest OP read these only.... to avoid confusion.
I agree. I didn't realize OP was in London. Definitely get the Tesla Tap appropriate for your power schedule in your country of origin.
