Yeah that's from my wall charger. I don't think any car charger on the market can legitimately charge the 6P at 3A right now.
Thanks for the heads-up! Upon looking into the matter more closely I discovered that the worst that may happen is the charger itself could eventually brown out but has over-current protection, over-charged, short-circuit, over-heat and over-voltage protection in it that will prevent damage to the 6p or vehicle. What Benson is describing is that 3A devices could try to pull 3A from a 2.4 rated charger, resulting in the charger eventually failing but due to all of the protective layers that means the charger and only the charger will be affected, not the device on the other end. Also keep in mind his testing was on a Chromebook Pixel and not the 6p which has been charging just fine so far.
But from my anecdotal experience it has been charging my 6p far quicker than my older USB A car chargers did for my older USB A phone.

In layman's terms, it will break itself before it harms my phone or car. Aside from that, I'll just keep using it until a Car adapter gets made that meets official specs. Nothing to worry about, if anything there's a chance that the Tronsmart might not be putting too little juice to the phone rather than too much
That's unfortunate, I've been using mine for about a week so far, quite satisfied with it
Here you go

As the all powerful and all knowing wise OP of this sticky I'm happy to inform you that the Tronsmart car charger does indeed charge the phone quite fast. I don't know whether the "charging rapidly" indicator on the screen is actually accurate or not because there seems to be some disagreement whether it's actually true but from my experience today it did.
Mind you I drive a RAM Hemi pickup, which is clearly the best road beast ever created so perhaps that was why.
