Anyone heard when we will get to use Tesla chargers (as promised) and adapters?

VW/Audi/Porsche were almost the last if not "the" last vendor to sign on w/Tesla - they are therefore at the end of the line of vendors working with Tesla to gain access…I would guess June - but it's only a guess.

On the topic, I was able to charge an EX90 at a supercharger this last weekend. The setup is weird and makes me wonder how Porsche will do it.
With Volvo, you activate “public charging” in the Volvo Cars app. This creates a ChargePoint account for you behind the scenes. Then you use the Volvo app to find a local Supercharger, select the charger unit code, click “start”, and only then do you plug in and it starts charging. Afterward you get an invoice from Volvo indicating a line item billed by ChargePoint.
In the end while the supercharger is obviously Tesla, the experience largely has them out of the loop from app to billing.

Here in Europe we can simply charge at a Tesla SC with the standard CCS2 plug. There is a Tesla SC around the corner from my home where I always charge my car. It is even cheaper than the Porsche subscription via Ionity. Ionity costs €0.39 and Tesla SC €0.29.
Disadvantage: charging is done with 135 kW instead of 270 kW because they are 400V chargers. The new Tesla V4 chargers are slowly replacing the V3 chargers here in the Netherlands. These do support 800V.

Apparently there are still V4 charging stations that are still connected to the V3 power cabinets that supply the chargers with power. These cabinets also need to be replaced.
In 4 weeks we will drive again to Austria and in Germany I will charge at Ionity. This is because the German Tesla chargers are more expensive than the Dutch Tesla SCs. And because Ionity certainly delivers 270 kWh ;-)
We will also visit the new Porsche Charging Lounge at Wurzburg on the way.
