Congratulations. Have you tried it yet?
Absolutely. It's a little finicky getting lined up and pushed in so it locks, but I did it a few times and got the hang of it.

Got mine this week as well.

Now I feel kinda bad signing up early for it as it will just become a paperweight or collect dust in my car.

I have never DC charged and if all goes according to plan, never will. But I do appreciate the need for the adapter when necessary. When I ever trade the car in, the next owner may make use of it.

I also got mine yesterday. I went right out and tried it. EZ to use.
P&C definitely worked like a charm. The first time I tried to plug the adapter into the car I had it at too high of an angle; after lowering it to be more parallel to the ground it locked in just fine 3 times in a row (I let it charge for a minute each time).

I think my problem was that I had my hands on the adapter instead of the Tesla handle because I didn't want to put too much pressure on that connection, and I'm just not used to plugging in like that.

I tried it yesterday for the first time, and it worked seamlessly. That said, I had to try multiple stations to get the cable to reach the car, finally found a Tesla station where the charger was on the left of the car instead of behind, this allowed easy connection

so I don't public charge at all, But part of me is worried, I'll use it and forget to take it off the tesla cordd and leave it. I'll probably get one of those red streamers "remove before flight or something on the steering wheel.

Since you cannot hang the SC connector back in the V3 unit with the adapter attached, it will be tough to forget it unless you are in the habit of just dumping the charge cord on the ground when you unplug ?‍♂?

Mine came last week. Haven't tried it yet, just put it in my console glove box. I do need to do something about the bouncing around in there so I think I'll make a padded case. Fun project, I think. Thanks Ford. much appreciated.
