"When a route is started that includes Tesla Superchargers, drivers may see a warning that the route requires a Fast Charging Adapter (NACS) – drivers should make sure to have it with them to use. Battery preconditioning when enroute to a charger is not available for Apple Maps EV Routing."
 
A new ChargePoint DCFC location opened on one of my regular routes, and every EVSE has both CCS1 and J3400/NACS cables. It got me wondering if using J3400 is better to charge the Lightning with as opposed to the bulkier CCS1 or if it doesn't make a difference. I have the adapter from Ford. My new Flash has extended range so I likely won't need to use the public charge, but I am curious if there's any benefit at a non-Tesla site.
 
Also works on Ford SYNC4. On SYNC 4 I like how it now shows dispenser availability.

Something to be aware of as shown in pics and screenshots relating to my Mach E. Super helpful that the new upgrade shows open-to-non-Tesla V3 and V4 variants. It also shows V2 Superchargers (in pics and screenshots below the V2 is number 3 on the search), as unavailable with a white minus sign on red, while the app shows that same V2 location as incompatible. I feel that incompatible is a more accurate statement. Open to Ford Supercharger locations are further down the list for this search.
