The Tesla Cybertruck Can't Take a CCS Charging Adapter

>owners likely already have a CCS1 Level 1 or Level 2 home charger to top up their cars’ batteries overnight. That same charger can be used to feed electricity to a Tesla-made EV with the help of an adapter, as long as it’s not a Cybertruck
According to the video[0] they tested the Tesla CCS1 adapter, which is only used for Level 3 charging. Level 1 and Level 2 "CCS1" is better known as J1772, and the included J1772 adapter works fine with Cybertruck.[1]
Road and Track already corrected their story,[2] but apparently InsideEVs hasn't done so yet.

And on the European side it'll all be CCS....hence split world...just like

The CCS adapter used here not working basically tells you the Cybertruck doesn't want to talk CCS yet. A CCS charger with a Tesla adapter is essentially equivalent to what NACS will be. This also means that as it currently stands the Cybertruck won't be able to charge on non-Tesla NACS chargers without an update.
On Superchargers this is not relevant. Superchargers can talk Tesla's own protocol (which is not in NACS, and is CAN-based) to the Cybertruck and can talk the NACS/CCS protocol (PowerLAN) to NACS cars / CCS cars with an adapter.
