Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

[Knuckles39]

My order is 1091, no shipping info at all, just crickets. Seems they have shipped less than 1k so far.

I’m right around you on either side with my two cars adapter reservations and I haven’t received anything yet either

GM, I was about to ask if anyone has gotten any emails on the Ford adapter shipping out after the intial bulk batch.. I belive we wont see anyone getting a Ford Adapter till May when the second bulk batch ships out. Hopefully in order Ford received the orders and not randomly.

I am stated for May (fingers crossed) as others who had higher order numbers received there adapters in April.

So far it's appearing the only ones getting the adapter (or at least notice that it shipped) had either a very low order# (low 100's), and a chunk of #'s in the 8000's that were presumably a big screw-up (lucky for them).

Hopefully there's a few more batches in April still coming. If not it means they're running behind since most of the April people are still waiting. Just scanning the posts here, it's appearing that US owners up to something in the 1-1200 range have April dates, but only (roughly) <200 have gotten a ship notice so far, plus those 8000's mistakes. (Canada appears to be done a different way.)

Good to know!! I don't have any long driving trip planned yet. Now that Buc-ees in Texas have the Tesla super charging station installed at most location charging via the adapter is a game changer if you live in Texas for long drives. The ford app shows adapter is needed. Once I get mine I can with peace of mine take drive out of the DFW metro plex.

That's what I said back in February about how I thought Ford should have done it - by VIN# or sales date.

That's only fair for those of us who are original owners.

Which is probably over 95%, I would think. Not enough to worry about, but even if they wanted to, it would be easy to identify the resales and put them after the original owners (names wouldn't match the original buyer).

Thanks but I've not received any emails from Fedex or any from Ford other than the original email.

FedEx isn’t going to send you an email. If you have the original email confirmation from Ford, there’s a link you can use to check in status. It lags big time though.

If you have an account with FedEx on their website or app, you can track all packages inbound to you.

In Fedex Delivery Manager I had to click on Advanced Shipment Tracking under the Tracking menu to see the incoming package. I did not get any emails from Fedex until a delivery attempt was made. Still no status update from Ford, either by email or webpage status.

My adapters (2 cars) are both in the 14,000’s series order numbers — ordered the day they were announced, but with June estimates.

I ordered the A2Z adapter back in early February so I could use it on my 2400 mile round trip from Michigan to Texas and back.

While I don’t have the free Ford adapter, the good news is the A2Z adapter worked great and on each of the four days of driving (about 600 miles per day) I used typically at least 2 or 3 Tesla stations per day and they all worked great.

I used the “Public Charging” app in the car to find the Tesla stations since only Tesla generation 3 or newer stations will work (any Tesla SuperCharger listed at 250kW or faster is at least a Gen 3 station).

The bad side effect (not too bad though) is that while you can find and get directions to the Tesla SuperCharger, they are not yet being automatically added to long trips via Ford Navigation. You have to use Public Charging app (previously Charge Assist app but it’s been renamed) to add them to the trip and the car just treats it as a stop (it doesn’t know it’s a charging stop). I’m sure that’ll get ironed out once most cars have the adapter.

The A2Z adapter had such a tight fit when inserting the Tesla cable into the adapter that it wasn’t fully being inserted and I could not slide the “lock” switch. After several attempts it eventually loosened up just enough and has been no trouble ever since.

Yet somehow, Rivian figured out how to do it …

I am order 1379 and slated for April delivery but still says in production. Looks from all these posts lots of folks are in same boat. It is what it is.

Got it, thanks.
