Can the G580 charge at Tesla Supercharger?

As the title said, can the G580 be able to charge at the Tesla Supercharger station? I know you'll need a NACIS adapter, but not sure if MB open up their vehicle to be able to charge at the Tesla Supercharger station yet?

Also, have anyone heard any news on when will MB adopting NACIS as their charging port instead of the CCS? Back when they announced the change, it said to be year 2025?

If you have the adapter and an account via the Tesla mobile app then it should work. Mercedes doesn’t need to approve/allow you to use third-party chargers.

Not a super charger, but I charge it at home with a Tesla universal wall charger - I found it better than the MB Wall charger.

Yes,

There have been reports EQ drivers have been successful charging at a Tesla Supercharger without the software update. But it requires using the Tesla app and activating the charger as a different vehicle.

Software update (which includes plug & play) and official access in Feb: https://www.mbusa.com/en/charge/nacs...nfid=swkx5tb6n

Spoke to the service dept today. They indicate it’s not yet available for my 25 G580. Told me the program maybe paused? Felt as if they did not know what was going on. Can I ask what state you are in?

Yes, the partnership is inked, so it's working.
The adapter sold at my Mercedes dealership is a Lectron; they claim it's made specifically for Mercedes, but I see no visible difference (box, SKU, hardware) to this one that I previously had:
Amazon Amazon
I use the Mercedes app to charge at Tesla super stations (Charging Stations widget > navigate to location > choose specific charger). Note the cost is significantly more than if you've used the same station for a Tesla, but obviously it's quite fast.
