Thank you Ford for my NACS adapter! Have you received yours?

[garyd9]

According to the Ford site "Upgraded Tesla Superchargers will be added to Connected Built-In Navigation later in 2024."

And the OTA to enable your in-car navigation to recieve and parse the new data will arrive "soon." Before 2028. Hopefully. Maybe. /s

I got a nice email from Ford on June 14th apologizing for the delay, which was nice.

I think we all got that (well, those of us still waiting, which is most of us). I agree it's nice, though, and combined with the fact that we're starting to see orders in the 6,000s now being shipped and delivered, I think it's a sign of progress.

Ford let the previous owner steal mine even though I was the owner at the time of ordering. Ford's response was too bad so sad, we'll sell you one in a few months. "Thank you"
"

So, what was the response from the previous owner?

I have not received mine yet #5702. Slower delivery in Canada?

Canadian orders are apparently going to come in a single batch. I’m #3420 and still showing June delivery but I’m not holding my breath.

I made a trip to Wasilla, AK from Whitehorse this week and I was hoping to use the Superchargers at Chugiak (between Wasilla and Anchorage), believing they were Magic Dock units. Sadly, I was misinformed and had I known I would have ordered the A2Z for this trip. Alaska is NOT terribly EV-friendly.

It's pretty amazing. I've charged at about a dozen different SCs, nearly exclusively since receiving my adapter.

#4890 arrived this morning, right when FedEx said it would. Ford site still shows my adapter as being "in production", not shipped, not delivered. So I am guessing their integration with FedEx isn't all that good, but I'm glad to have it. It fits nicely under the board in the trunk with the tire inflation kit and the adapter I have for Tesla destination chargers. I am not in need of a charge at the moment, but will go give it a shot this week sometime.

EA, EVgo, Chargepoint and the others have to be dreading the arrival of these adapters...

These companies will all transition to NACS cables as most car manufacturers begin switching to NACS ports. Plenty of CCS vehicles will be on the road for many years to come, though, so either many charging stations will have both standards or adapters will become ubiquitous.

FedEx just delivered mine (#5010). I don’t recall anyone mentioning the little Ford sticker they use to close the styrofoam packaging envelope! Kinda wish they’d included a fresh new sticker (like Apple does with nearly everything they sell), but still sticky enough to put on my laptop case ?

My point was that the charging experience at a Tesla SC is so much better than the clunky unreliable experience at EA, EVgo, Chargepoint, etc. that given the opportunity, I will choose the Tesla SC over the CCS alternatives every time. As the adapters become universally available over the next year or two, I expect a lot of people will join me and EA's of the world will see a dip in their business until they step up their reliability.

FedEx just showed up at my house. I thought the delivery guy was a bit dramatic though. ?

I got my adapter last week and tried to charge on Saturday at a bank of Tesla chargers. Plug and Charge did not work. I tried multiple times. I have the Tesla app and used that and it worked. For some reason my Tesla showed pending and not sure why. I have an active payment credit card on file and verified its accurate. I am thinking that is why Plug and Charge didn't work at the Tesla charger. Anyone know what to do to correct this?

Just got mine delivered today.

Very nice message card and box!

Trying to jam both adapters in one case!

Yep, I got mine on Friday. I went down early in the morning to test it out. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of all those Tesla drivers, so I had all 24 spots to myself. It worked perfectly. It took me a second to figure out how to remove my adapter from the charging cable.

You did you test at a very special Supercharger stall too! - the 50,000th Supercharger stall.

Your car never got the Tesla Certificate, so the Tesla infrastructure can't authenticate your car through plug and charge. You can use the Tesla app to initiate because that's a completely different way of authenticating.
