I am considering a Tesla to J1772 adapter. I have a Gen 2 HPWC in my garage for our Tesla, and the adapter would provide a little redundancy for me..... but I recall a few months ago something about the Tesla tap didn’t work with some HPWCs.... and I just stumbled upon something called a coffee bean that hooks to the pilot signal and pulls it down to 9v to fool the EVSE.... what’s this about? What does it have to do with Tesla gen 2 HPWC?

I have a Tesla to J1772 adapter and so far it has worked on all Tesla L2's, including the ones that were installed in 2018. Take this statement from someone who incessantly complains about not being able to charge

My Tesla Tap has never let me down. I have used it for: a) some convenience charges, b) when I am staying overnight and there are 3 Tesla plugs and 1 J-1772 so as to not block a driver with no Tesla conversion capability, and, c) at the mountaintop Snowshoe Ski Resort where there are 2 Tesla plugs, NO J-1772, and at least 50 miles to the next nearest J-plug.

That is a part from inside one of the J1772-Tesla adapters. It is on the parts page. Unless you are planning to build your own unit, you'll have no use for it.

Would this also be of use if you wanted to modify an older TeslaTap or a different brand Tesla to J1772 adapter?

I don't believe anything has changed in any of the Tesla to J1772 adapters.
