Road-trip fast charging: how often does it actually go wrong? / Non-Tesla owner locked out of, or unreliable on, Tesla Superchargers

Non-Tesla owner locked out of, or unreliable on, Tesla Superchargers

What people actually reported
Adapter refused at Supercharger; worked at a Rivian charger
“The Supercharger near Independence had plenty of open stalls, but I was told my adapter wouldn't work because of a software setting. I drove a mile to a Rivian charger and the same adapter worked fine.”
@dmarlowe_
Adapter stalls were a coin flip; switched to EA
“The Magic Dock stalls worked fine, but the ones that needed my adapter were a coin flip. I quit using Tesla chargers halfway home and just stuck with EA.”
@paul_drummond
Adapter release mechanism failed after the first stop
“I grabbed a cheap CCS1-to-NACS one for my Niro, and the release mechanism quit working after the first stop.”
@dean_olstad
Tesla stalls in use, other charger broken; few miles to spare
“Two rest stops there had Tesla chargers, both in use, and nothing for non-Teslas. The one other charger I found off the highway was out of order. I got to Philly and back with only a few miles to spare”
@jdimaggio_27
Both stalls tried gave red-circle errors despite open stalls
“I pulled into a 12-stall Supercharger in Connecticut with more than half the stalls empty, and the two I tried both gave me a red-circle error.”

Stuck at 40 kW all session; left at about 40%
“At the Lewiston, ID Supercharger my car sat at 40 kW the whole session, and switching stalls didn't change it. I left at about 40%.”
