I know there was an avalanche of car manufacturers announcing the switch to NACS, but it looks like a lot of them are just giving drivers access to Tesla via a CCS adapter initially.
Has anyone announced a non-Tesla NACS native car yet?

When these were being announced all the articles said first NACS cars would be on the market in 2025.

2025 is the year of NACS. Until then, newer tesla stations all use CCS communication so if you need a new car today, then it won't be too terrible to use. Also, realize that there's still a bunch of CCS stations around that will take a long time to switch over. So even if you did get a NACS car, depending on where you live you might want to get a NACS->CCS adapter. (I've seriously considered updating my charge circuit in my 2018 model 3 to be able to use CCS).

Yeah, my current car has CCS, so I’m good for a while. Just wondering because I might want to replace my other car in the next year or two and I’d want to get something with NACS next time.

Anyone that's asked me about an EV I've told to wait if they can for this very reason. I don't think you'd super regret getting an EV today but it sure will be nice to have everything converge on the same charging standard.

Yep. Waiting on NACS is the only reason I'm not driving a Rivian right now.

The ID.7 looks mighty tempting to me, but I'm committed to drive my model 3 till the wheels fall off. 120k miles down, will see how many more it has left.
I do hope by the time I'm ready to scrap everyone will have the charge port in a compatible location.

It does! If my wife didn't already have a Y, I'd probably keep my paid off truck and get something like the new Leaf or an ID.7 for myself, but I barely have space for two vehicles let alone three, and multiple kayaks + camping gear barely fit in my full size truck bed as it is :D

People don’t talk as much about how clunky CCS is. This cables are hefty and aligning them can be annoying on a cold day when the cable is stiff. Sure, it works, but it’s not a great experience.

Aptera is the first, or may be once they launch.
