Is a Tesla home charger adapter really being included with the latest trucks?

No

Nope - only the first few that rolled off the assembly line to show that a Lightning can charge a Tesla as a marketing gimmick.

I bought my own because of the number of people I live and work that have Teslas.

Good to know as we have a Tesla destination charger which I figured I'll need for a little bit...and having options is always good.

If your destination charger plug is a Tesla, you will need a reverse plug in order to charge your Lightning.

$150:

Do you have a link for that?

Look up Lectron adapters, they have a couple form factors and colors.

I purchased this newer one from Lectron. Works up to 48a (which is what the Tesla Wall charger connected to a 60a breaker outputs). Been using this for my Lightning for 4-5 charges... works great. $159 and I just use the Tesla Wall charger for both the model Y and the Lightning. Easy. It also locks/clips into the Tesla charger... so very secure.

Ford Pro wall charger just got delivered via Fedex... Not sure I'll install. Sure if "can" be faster on an 80a/100a breaker... but I don't know that I care. Charges just fine with Tesla charger and adapter.

same. the lectron does seem to scuff up the tesla charger tho. Gonna monitor the wear since i do need to remove it to charge the tesla.

I kept my extra one when I traded in my 3. I keep it in my truck in case someone at a hotel forgot theirs, it happened a few times at work conferences, I don't mind lending it to people if they give me their phone number so I can get it back.
