Just received mine. Tried it out at the local TSC station in Brunswick, GA. Worked great without any issues. Pulled straight in, just pulled the lip of spoiler over curb to get close enough to hook up. Its a tight fit, but worked.

...and in the meantime, no Canadian orders filled yet.

I suspect that Canadians won't get theirs until the order deadline passes, and then they can fill all of them in one batch.

They seem to be shipping more than 1000/day. I have two cars … both adapters came on the same day — both orders in the 14,000’s. The highest order number was #14862.

The news that Tesla has greatly increased the production on these and they would start coming faster seems to be true. I realize we had to wait longer than originally told — but ORIGINALLY we didn’t expect to get these at all. So this is great that it opens up more charging options.

Thank you, @Ford Motor Company
I firmly believe that Tesla deliberately throttled production/distribution of these adapters to limit how quickly Ford drivers began to use the Supercharger network.

Received my adapter this morning, thanks Ford! I ordered it at the end of February with a mid 17,000 order number. No warning that it was on the way.

The response I received from emailing Ford today: “We are informed that the first Adapters for Canadian orders are due to arrive in late October.”

I don't, because they can (and did, and are still doing) keeping some V3 stations off the adapter-capable list. Any station they don't want CCS drivers using they can simply exclude with one click.

I think Musk wanted to make the adoption gradual so as to be less disruptive for Tesla SC users.
Wait. So he does care about his customers? (sorry, couldn't resist)

I don't think the average Tesla owner is going to be more miffed or less miffed about the rate that non-Tesla vehicles start using Superchargers.

Or put another way, a Tesla owner isn't going to change how they feel one way or another based on a few months between none and thousands of new users in Fords.

Just my opinion, of course

Not the same thing, though. There was a nine month gap between the original announcement that Ford owners would be given SC access and the day they flipped the switch. It was known how many adapters would be required and there was a lot of time to ramp up adapter production.

They were still testing the adapters right up until late February. That's when they flipped the station switch and sent a select group of public testers adapters (that had to be returned after the test period) to do public broader testing with the obligation to report back any issues. I can see why they didn't want to start production on 10's of thousands of adapters until after March.

But no doubt Tesla dropped the ball on getting production ramped up even after March.
