The 2025 MME probably won’t have a native NACS port. The one Ford vehicle that is supposed to have NACS is a second generation EV.
No doubt. Future models will have it.
While you are making some interesting points, I am unaware as to what you’re saying is fact or your own assumptions. I think the Tesla charger connector is a simpler connector, but that aside, I am a little excited to add many thousands of new chargers for our MME’s. I’m simply having a conversation. It is not important that you care about what I wish to talk about. We can not converse anymore if it upsets you, that is not my intention….. In fact, I will just leave it at that. Thank you very much for all your comments, I wish you well. I will carry my conversation on this topic elsewhere. Take care sir.
While the Tesla connector is simpler, it requires a completely different contactor arrangement inside the car to make it safe. CCS has more pins because the developers of that standard did not want to have any possible fialure mode that could short AC voltage to DC voltage, or vice versus. Tesla has decided they can rely on software to do that job, and of course we all know that software never has any bugs. LOL
Considering that the cars can already charge on the Super Chargers with MagicDock, that isn't going to be an issue, and fordpass is how you'll activate the chargers once an approved adapter is made available. They are being added to the Blue Oval Network, even says they'll be added on the BO networks page.
Agree at the MagicDock stations.
The CCS protocol is the CCS protocol, all V3 speak this already. There will be no difference except on what app and how you start the charger.
But today the Tesla network doesn't communicate with Ford. That handshake, Ford to Tesla, including Plug and Charge, has to be created, and work flawlessly.
Their page about Blue Oval does state that they'll be adding the Super Chargers in Spring 2024, So for them to have that published, they must already be working on these integration steps, and I suspect it's the push to get Charge Assist out the door too, so they keep the eyes in the Ford Garden as much as possible, I do not expect to be able to activate a supercharger any other way but via the FordPass app or Charge Assist, and possibly Plug & Charge if they get that worked out.
I suspect you'll get the non-member pricing like we do with EA on P&C, Ford really does need to fix that ASAP.
Did you make an appointment with your dealer to get the fob? (not that it matters, but it’s a CSP not a recall).I can't even get my second key fob that they are required to give me off the recall. I highly doubt we will see free adapters lol Ford might say they will do it, but we won't ever see it... just like my fob...
Well, to be fair, it’s not like either of us loves our TeslaTap…
I like it enough to not pay thousands of dollars for a retrofit (if it existed).
