A2z fast charger

[NC-GT]

Ordered 2/29, received 3/22.

Tested it and works fine. @A2ZEV I have some feedback:

-The slide latch for the Tesla plug is very stiff and somewhat difficult to use. I think this part should be redesigned to have a raised triangle profile or a knurled texture. The tolerances should also be increased so there is less drag during actuation. People with limited thumb strength or ability will have difficulty using it.

-The "LOCK" and "OPEN" labels on the slide lock are counterintuitive. When the adapter is locked, "OPEN" is visible, and when the adapter is unlocked "LOCK" is visible. Switch them around so the word visible is equal to the status.

-The case stinks (chemical smell). Not putting that in my car.

-You might put more texture or grip on the outside of the adapter to facilitate removal from the charge port. There is a bit of "what do I grab onto" conundrum during removal. I'd like to see something down by the DC pins for my other hand to pull on.

-The instruction manual says the adapter should only be used to charge Tesla vehicles, not other vehicles. (Page 9) That makes no sense.

FYI The smell is from the material of the adapter. Letting it air out at home, and after a day case no longer has any smell, and unit already a lot less. My guess there was not a lot of time between manufacture and putting into the case and shipping- which I am fine with

Ordered mine on March 6, showed up a few minutes ago. So, 4 weeks from order to opening.
