2021 Tesla model s, macan ev turbo waiting for software update at dealership

I am planning on using my Tesla home charger with an adapter recommended by Porsche dealer to charge my turbo that I am waiting on. I read on Facebook of a similar situation where they had problems with charger over heating and disconnecting. Has anyone who took delivery of their Macan ev and using Tesla home charger with adapter have issue? I would like to know before I take delivery of my car.

Unfortunately I can't tell you about the Tesla home charger but I use a third party charger (7.4 kWh) and I have no problems. Maybe could this be related to the adapter? I read somewhere of a US Macan owner in a situation similar to yours who doesn't have any problem but I can't remember if it was here or on FB.

By Tesla home charger, are you referring to Tesla Universal Connector? I hope not because that's what I got installed but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

From personal daily use I can confirm that the Tesla home charger works perfectly with Macan EV, Taycan, Mercedes hybrid, bmw hybrid, vw EV.

should work fine with proper and well built adapter

one might consider swapping for a Tesla Universal Wall Charger (J-1772 & NACS) for maximum future proof - but it's entirely un-necessary - but the TUWC does come with a slick/built-in low-profile J-1772 adapter - but again swapping is un-necessary but the built-in adapter is super slick.

I'm using 3 of the TUWC's each with max 48 amp charge rate (60 amp breaker) sharing a total of 80 amps of charging capacity (100 amp breaker) - so I can charge 3 EV's at once with split load charging.

That’s the one the dealer recommended
