Both the R1T all-electric pickup and the R1S SUV will be fitted with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector starting in 2025, eliminating the need for an adaptor.

There wasn't a "standard" because even though there was a standard (J1772), Tesla had to go and have a Not Invented Here, and mess us up.

I suppose the only upside is that, eventually, we'll have a slightly better connector than J1772, but only at the cost of putting standardization behind by 10 years.
