A2Z Typhoon Pro Adapter Review

I think I’m going to have to order one of these for myself, just to speed up delivery of the Rivian one.

Received my Typhoon PRO last week, using it in my whirlwind tour of the OR coast. Thought I would test it near my home first. Why bother. Reviews of it are aplenty.
Used it for the first time at the Tesla Supercharger in Hillsboro OR. Flawless true plug and play. Opened Tesla app->Charge Your Other EV->select charger location GPS -Identified in app->choose charging dispenser (2B)->plug adapter into R1S->plug Tesla cable into adapter->press Start Charging on Tesla app->Voila!
Charging started after a few seconds.
Very easy to disconnect Tesla cable from connector after stopping charging first, of course. Very easy to remove adapter from port.
Was walking my dogs meanwhile and did not bother to check the charging rate. 45.9220 kWh @$0.34/kWh, $15.81, 23 min.
Very beefy connector, did get somewhat warm, but excellent experience overall. 50 thumbs up, A2Z!

Speaking of Tesla superchargers, an interesting tidbit of info. My first Tesla SC stop was in Boardman OR. This location does have dispensers with Magic Dock, no A2Z needed. After going through all the selection and setup ritual on Tesla app, charging started normally, over 200 kWh on my R1S initially. Away from my R1S and watching session on my app, an error message popped up on the app:"Lost connection with the charger."
Had never seen that happened. Because of that, it looks as if my charging session was free; there is no record of it anywhere, no charge. I'll take that anytime!
