I'm sure most will know this but in Europe, and maybe some other parts of the world, the V2 superchargers all have CCS connectors as well as Tesla's "adapted" Type 2 plug (that's different from the US Tesla plug). The V3 superchargers (and all Teslas since I think 2019) have gone CCS only. Older

They are serrated on the outer faces of the pair Martin, so grip the bolt head and whatever you're bolting too very effectively. When you try to undo a bolt like this, the cam action of the inner faces forces them apart, making them grip even tighter. Nord-Locks are great, but overkill for
