Mach-E Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

[Luke]

Just FYI, don't wear out your keyboard. I got this email as one of the early Beta testers. I am not sure that Ford is sending the same email out on normal orders. The EV team at Ford sent this to me. But encouraged me to share the news.

No problem. I have the refresh schema figured out. Thank you for posting the news.

While I have no plans to use public charging in the near future, this is exciting news for all those who have put their road trips on hold because of their inability to feed Elon’s electrons to their Mach E and lightening

Just got the below email - Adapters are shipping starting today!

Hi there. Today, we’re excited to announce that the first complimentary production Fast Charging Adapters are shipping today and are on their way to Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning customers, including you!



As a reminder, Plug & Charge is the most optimal experience for using your adapter

Seamlessly use your Fast Charging Adapter to activate and pay for charging at Tesla Superchargers with Plug & Charge. If you have Plug & Charge enabled, simply plug your vehicle in to begin charging – payment will be handled automatically.


If you have disabled Plug & Charge, or if your vehicle has not received the Plug & Charge software update, you can always activate and pay for charging at Tesla Superchargers like all BlueOval Charge Network chargers using the FordPass mobile app or the Public Charging app on your vehicle’s touchscreen.



Additionally, if you have disabled vehicle location sharing, Plug & Charge will not be able to activate. In this case, enable vehicle location sharing to enable Plug & Charge.



You can check or update your Plug & Charge status in FordPass under Vehicle – Charging - BlueOval Charge Network.



In case you come across anyone in the coming weeks with questions, below is some info for you to help them out.



Keep Your Vehicle Connected and Up-to-Date



To use Plug & Charge at Tesla Superchargers, your vehicle needs to receive an over-the-air software update (24-PU0119-DC-CHG4, to be precise). To ensure your vehicle can receive this update, make sure automatic updates are set to ON. Without this update, you can still charge at Tesla Superchargers by manually activating and paying for charging in FordPass or the Public Charging app on your vehicle’s touchscreen.



Keep Your BlueOval Charge Network Account Up-to-Date



To use Plug & Charge, or to pay for charging with the FordPass mobile app or the Public Charging app on your touchscreen, you will need a BlueOval Charge Network account.



It’s also important to keep your payment information up-to-date in your Ford Account. If you’ve received a Payment Failed notification when using the BlueOval Charge Network, you won’t be able to pay for future charging events, including with Plug & Charge, until you resolve the issue and reprocess the failed payment. To check your status and fix this issue, visit Connected Services.



Finding Upgraded Tesla Superchargers



To find upgraded Tesla Superchargers, use the FordPass mobile app or the Public Charging app on your vehicle’s touchscreen. Look for the “Adapter Needed” displayed next to the charger listing.



Tesla Superchargers will come to Connected Navigation and other routing tools in future over-the-air updates.



Using Your Fast Charging Adapter
1. Open your vehicle’s charge port door and lower the cover to reveal the fast charging inlet.
2. Attach the Fast Charging Adapter to the Tesla Supercharger cable by firmly pushing them together. You should hear a click when the cable is fully inserted.
3. Plug the Fast Charging Adapter into your vehicle.
4. With Plug & Charge is active, charging should begin automatically. If not, you can activate and pay for charging using the FordPass mobile app or the Public Charging app on your touchscreen.
5. Stop the charge by pressing unlock button on vehicle charge port.
6. Remove adapter from charge port using silver release button on the top of adapter.
7. Detach adapter from Tesla Supercharger cord by pressing down the cable release tab.

Happy charging!

What is your order number? I’m 40 and didn’t get anything.

It’s a shame.

nowhere in the email does it educate anybody on trying to park from the right side first if possible.

0% of the DCFC companies have any signage to explain to people anything about charging etiquette.

We're starting to work on it and we'll do a video soon.

Woo hoo! I've been wondering when this thread would appear!

 

[kodiakng]

so, early tester units are being replaced but no actual word on shipment to normies yet.

Is anyone planning on selling their Ford adapter and keeping their third party adapter?

Ford plans to sell theirs for $230 based on what I see online and A2Z has it for $167 after using the 15% off "FORD" code.

I would be tempted to buy a Ford adapter if someone is planning on selling that and keeping the third party.

Keeping my current A2Z and the incoming Ford adapter.

Afraid of thieves who will stop your charge, then disconnect and steal it.

Rather have a backup adapter since I rely on it so much.

I do have a Lectron Vortex adapter coming in but I think it will get returned....

Yea, you must be in an early batch going to beta testers. I'm at 101 and didn't receive the email (yet).
I forget what the highest reservation number with April delivery was? ~3000?
So, if they are going to hit April targets, will be sending maybe a thousand per week I'm guessing?

Even if these first adapters are going to beta testers, the very fact that a batch have been produced and are ready to ship is significant. And at this point it seems pretty early to declare whether or not it's just the beta testers, too.

Either way, it's meaningful that production units are shipping. I'm in the 3800 range and while my notification says "June" I can't help but hope they'll get mine out sooner.

Soon 2. The sequel.

My order number is FAE:90003242 (May shipment), so somewhere around 3000 makes sense for April. ?‍?

Woo hoo! I've been wondering when this thread would appear!

I've been checking once or twice a day just to see when the first shipping thread will pop up. Glad to see things moving along! Hopefully they will be working their way through the queue faster than Ford anticipated. Fingers are crossed! ?

I’m 977 and my reservation says May. I’m surprised the cut-off was so low. That or US orders were prioritized over Canada.

Either way it’s good news!

Shepherd....this is much what most of us have done, also. Ordered the A2Z adaptor. Be patient with A2Z. These folks have been swamped. It is a small outfit with a large order book.
