Tesla Announces Hitting 8K Weekly NACS Adaptor Production Output

[Dear_OP]

I don't understand why everyone's so excited about receiving Elon's juice.

CCS at many DCFS have been pretty reliable for me.

This is the last sentence of the second paragraph of the attached article,

“ Tesla also noted that OEMs are also ramping suppliers for the accessory.”

Maybe this is old news to many/most/all of you. To me it’s new news. It harkens back to discussions in other threads about Ford (and by extension other manufacturers) finding suppliers to augment Tesla’s production.

From that one sentence it could be inferred that an agreement has been reached among Tesla and other manufacturers “officially allowing” recognition/use of non Tesla manufactured adapters on the SC network. If that’s the case it does beg the question of whether other suppliers must use the Tesla design, as opposed to other existing third party designs.

If this is old news, I apologize for rehashing it. And there may be other readings of that sentence. Anyway we slice it, it seems to point toward an improvement in delivery although I’m skeptical they’ll ever get back on schedule.

I posted a reply to a thread on this forum going back about a week or in two, which I linked to a Out of Spec Youtube video from about a month ago in which they clearly state GM is working with a 3rd party vendor to produce NACS adapters for it's customers. Their something posted on GM's website for customers that stated they could purchase an adapter from their vendor......I believe Lectron was mentioned as the vendor that GM is using.

Something sounds weird. 8,000 per week, starting when. If my order number is around 8500, I should have it by now! Order moved from, May, to June, to July, now Sept.

Keep in mind, Ford isn't the only OEM that will receive adapters. Rivian and GM have to get theirs as well. Polestar is supposed to have been next after GM.

For some, there's waaayyy too much spacing between CCS-1 chargers, so the Superchargers are a boon to those who are traveling those corridors. For canids like me, it's an extra back stop in case the CCS station I chose is full (not that I do long distance traveling much any more). ??

Crossing fingers - AFAIK nobody in Canada has the adapter yet, and my order # is under 1000.

Ford site now says September.

No, no adapters have shipped to Canadian customers. I had an email exchange with Ford a couple of months ago and they confirmed that they are waiting on a single large shipment to distribute to the bulk of Canadian customers at once. I had this discussion with them in June and when I said I wanted the adapter for travel in September they apologized that they couldn’t commit to getting it out by then.

What’s all the fuss?
I'm not saying that there's not other options for traveling and public charging, but with them crazy grandkids in the back seat singing Alexa delivered Benson Boone songs, while we take our FIRST 400 mile great grandpa visit NOT in the truck...... Charging at a Tesla pod is awesome.

Arriving at Buc-ee's in Luling Texas to top off at 80%, was without drama.

It really is the lack of drama.

Every time I go to an EA station I kind of wonder what I am going to find. Cabinets that are offline, broken stuff, an ID4 charging to 100% taking advantage of their “free” charging or my personal favorite, the dreaded de-rated charger.

Just did a trip using the super chargers for the first time. So much less drama. Turn on the front camera and get the front splitter over the curb, plug in and walk away.

It’s amazing what a company can do when the boss isn’t firing all the employees over a pissing match between the CEO and his top managers.

GM has already leaked they will have multiple suppliers and one of them is Lectron. But Tesla needs to approve that also.

I think buzz words and oh look over there! A monkey with 3 heads

nice to hear, but I am still waiting for my (July estimated) adaptor

Yeah, me too. Signed up for one the day it opened; supposed to get it in June and the date has been pushed twice. ?

And/or it should allow some of us to take alternate, somewhat shorter, more convenient routes to our regular destinations.

 

[EMachE]

When I inquired about mine I was told by end of June. Still not here.

Am I missing something? That is a NACS to CCS adapter. We need the opposite.

that is the correct image. Remember, you will be using a Tesla charger which is itself has the NACS ‘nozzle’, so it needs to fit into a NACS ‘hole’ so to speak. The opposite end of the adpater is the CCCS end that will fit into the MME port.
