Email from Ford: Tesla NACS Replacement Adapter Shipping Soon

[rreddy3]

Possibly not to GM since it was just Rivian and Ford in that second batch. If the third batch gets identified as well, then GM too. ??

Ok, got it.

Nah, It's Tesla (outsourced to China most likely) made for use on Tesla superchargers to enable Tesla Revenue potential and give access to Government funding. I am not a believer in Ford quality in general but this isn't a Ford issue.

Reports are that Tesla’s manufacturing them in New England. I can’t verify this as fact, though. ?‍?

I haven’t received an email, but we just received ours a month ago. Haven’t used it yet.

Yes, but GM wasn’t receiving adapters in the second batch. Third batch forward. ?‍?

Same. I got a June adapter and the email. I’m looking forward to the replacement.

I have not used mine yet so bullet dodged I guess. I haven’t heard any problems with these though. Maybe this is just an abundance of caution.

The adapters are manufactured by Tesla at its Buffalo, NY plant.

I received my adapter around Sept 17, 2024. I have not received the email.

I'm disappointed they don't include specific part or serial numbers as that would save a heck of a lot of confusion. For what it's worth, my part number is: (P) 1434343-20-D

I just got verification from Ford that it was one batch of adapters that were affected not all of them. If you got the email, make sure you update your address as it says in the email. If your address is the same, you don't need to do anything. The replacement adapters should start shipping by the end of the month.

This appears to be a second batch issue (June shipments). So far all of the respondents with April shipments have responded in the negative. ??

Agree - mine is a second batch received in June and I got the email this morning.

When I tested the Ford adapter, I though it was cheaply made, lighter than A2Z or Lectron and sort of hollow compared to my A2Z.

Since then, the Ford adapter is boxed up and never used, but carried as a back up.

Heavily using the A2Z adapters (both OG and Pro) for over 6 months now.

weird, someone from july posted theirs and i have the same PN as them (mine was made in Sept, delivered yesterday), but yours is different than both of ours

As long as they don’t ask for the old one back, I am guessing quite a few of us will be performing exploratory surgery on our original adapters…for educational purposes of course.

 

[Warp Asylum]

Got the same email today. No idea which order it was for, but I expect that it applies to both so I suppose I should get another email and two replacements.

Order #s, both received in June:
3337
3507

According to the letter, they ARE asking for them back...

In the screenshot of the email from others it states that Ford wants the old adapter back. They will pay for shipping.
