Soon you can try the ones in Silverdale at Target.
Just a trial to see how everything works before a road trip and the end of the month. Clearwater is the closest Supercharger. Forks is the next closest to me, but it supposedly has magic docks. I wanted to test the A2Z instead of a magic dock.

Plug and Charge worked. I had to seat the A2Z with a firm hit from a palm heel into the NACS side after futzing around trying to get it to lock.

I’m in Bremerton and doing exactly the same thing. I got my A2Z a month ago ant immediately went to Clearwater to try it out. We are taking a road trip early next month.

It's amazing to see 12 chargers, never saw anything like that with EA on road trips... Out of the 12 at Clearwater, only 2 Teslas, and me at the drive-up stand. It's pretty awesome.

We should do a PNW meetup when everyone has adapters and get a pic of Superchargers filled with MME's ?

Success at Orlando-area Wawa, V3 chargers1

it took 5 tries, several stations before I realized:

ā€˜ā€™Using FordPass to activate works best’
Due to the tight tolerances of the new A2Z Nacs-CCS1 adapter, the CCS1 top lock MUST be firmly pushed into the car-side female port or the top latch will not seat.

Hope these tips help future A2Z adapter recipients!.

The tolerances and worn NACS on the SC have been my nemesis. Seems like it requires more force than necessary to get the NACS to seat in the adapter. Have never had a problem with the other end.

Here's what worked for me:

1) Make sure that latch on A2Z adapter is firmly OPEN.
2) Push A2Z adapter onto Tesla nozzle.
3) Slide latch on A2Z adapter firmly CLOSED.

It appears the NACS side of the adapter is giving more people challenges.

Fortunately, I had no problem with the NACS charge cable or NACS charge plug being inserted into the adapter.

Nice, Clearwater is a solid spot - I’ve played there a few times too. Lately I’ve been sticking to playing online instead, just easier than driving out every time. I’ve been using free slots with no download or registration and it’s been a convenient alternative when I just want to relax at home.
