There are currently lots of versions of the 'teslatap'. It is just an adapter that changes one type of connection to another, Tesla inlet to J1772 plug. There are no resistors, diodes, PCB's or any electronic components in it. That is because the J1772 L1 and L2 protocols are used by Tesla and all the other J1772 EV's
Years ago, in 2016, I tried to produce an injection molded Tesla to J1772 Adapter but found it way beyond my financial means. I did learn how the Tesla plug/inlet was able to accept both 120vac and HVDC using the same pin connector. Tesla uses BalSeal type coil springs in adjacent configurations to transfer the current from male to female connector so that there are lots of contact points for current transfer whereas the J1772 connector uses just a simple pin connector so that there are only 4 contact points for current flow.
