I am just curious where everyone is keeping their adapters? I keep mine in the box usually in the back seat floor. But too big for the glove box and awkward for the frunk.

Suggests or comments?
Mine is stored either in China where the parts are being made, in the factory where Tesla is building them, or somewhere in a Ford building where Ford is packaging them.

My Rivian has gotten up to 215kw, but not in hot weather (>100F), the Tesla chargers do not seem to like the heat. I have been able to get 185kw on my Hummer with a Magic Dock, but have not tested it in really hot weather yet.

There was a week recently where GM was doing testing, and I was able to use the adapter and got 180kw on the Hummer. It runs at a lower voltage than the Rivian. But on an 800V charger the Hummer can get up to 360kw. The rate gets cut in half at 400V.
So GM only worked for a week and they shut it back off?

Yes, they were testing that week. This same thing happened with Ford and Rivian. GM claims they have adapters ready to ship, still waiting to get Tesla's final approval. There is also a rumor that GM will have an approved second source for adapters.

GM and Tesla just signed an agreement to put chargers in Mexico, likely because GM is building the Equinox and Blazer there.

Well today GM now officially has access, and I verified it works. They start taking adapter orders tomorrow. They are charging $26 for them.

I have both a destination charger adaptor and a DC Fast charge adaptor. I keep them in the 2 wells on each side of the rear hatch, both fit perfectly and are level with the trunk floor.

Got my NACS adapter a couple weeks ago. Ordered this organizer bag from amazon for the adapter and teslatap. Fits under the trunk cargo deck.
