As we approach the period of time they call "Spring", we will soon receive devices to connect our vehicles to Tesla SuperChargers. Prior to that happening, it's important to properly identify these devices.

It all depends on which side of the pond you're on.

Then why are a bunch of US-based people using "adaptor"? Trying to act superior? Ignorant of the proper American spelling? o_O ? ?

I don't believe seasons are supposed to be capitalized.

I think it’s actually spelled adaptour over there.
Actually, they probably call it a “plug adaptour “. Just like they call electrical outlets “plug sockets” ???

Clearly you haven't seen Ford's list of "terms". Spring, is not the same as spring, in that it doesn't represent a season, more a general sense of time, like "perhaps before year end".

One should lookup the origins before thouest throw attribution thost wrongest wayeth.

Adaptor is the "english".
Adapter is the "American".

Thing you jam on the end of the house is "Alabama"...

I'm just curious, what is the hype of being able to charge at a Tesla charger: cost, speed, availablity?

In AZ we don't have 'spring' so hopefully they'll figure out what the other season is in order to provide it to us.
