What's going on with NACS charging adapters never shipping?

[Kamuelaflyer]

At this point ford should just let people still waiting for adaptor buy one and take it off their next car payment ?.

Presuming they’re financing through Ford Credit of course. Any other financing source or cash buyers would be another story.

My adapter was shipped in the June batch and as you say it was recalled. I am still waiting for the replacement to be shipped. I am starting to think I went to the back of the line!

My replacement is out for delivery today. This will be my fourth one, since I got my Rivian and GM adapters already.

interestingly, my Rivian adapter came one month after my Ford one, but was built the week before the Ford one and is not recalled.

Ford has not done a good deed.

Ford has alleged that it will do a good deed at some unknown-but-frequently-estimated date in the future.

Technically, Ford is in process of doing the good deed. Many have already received their complementary adapter. Many have not, and some are awaiting a replacement. Ford is trying to make good on the offer. Outside forces have made that a difficult task. ??

Interesting. Has anyone here figured out the exact (or a reasonable facsimile) manufacturing dates of the recalled adapters?

All this talk about Ford's "good deeds" reminds me of "Scott's Tots"...

Note that only Ford has recalled any adapters. GM and Rivian have not that I know of. ?‍?

……and yet, there is hope!

Received an email with the following header today…

Order #30xxx. ?

I'm order number 128xxx and just noticed the delivery date has slipped, again. First August. Then September. Then October. Then November. Now? You guessed it, December.

At this rate it will be years until I get my adapter.

My order 29,885 shipped 3 weeks ago. Low 30,000 are shipping now. I do not believe we've seen an improvement from the added Lectron supply yet...

You have ~98,000 people ahead of you in line. If the estimated rate of ~4k/month holds that is 2.5 years! ?

Not everyone has the same ability to spend money freely, even on seemingly minor things. A "just buy one" mindset can overlook personal budgets and broader financial challenges. It's always good to approach these situations with empathy and understanding.

If you have a $50,000 car you can afford an adapter. The reality is it should save them time, money and frustration. If that is not worth $200 then they can be patient and they will receive the free one.

I was pleasantly suprised that I got the replacement adapter a couple weeks back, only a few weeks after the recall notice.

These are the build dates for my Ford (original) and Rivian adapters:

Rivian built May 17 (not recalled)
Ford built May 24 (recalled)

My GM adapter was built in July, and all three of these had the exact same part number. The part number of the new Ford adapter has changed, 21-D, rather than 00-D at the end.

Didn't Lectron say that the one you can buy direct from them is different than the Lectron version that you will get from Ford? Didn't Lectron work with Ford to make it different (better?) in some way?

Also, remember that Tesla/Elon fired almost the entire Supercharger team. I saw an article dated Nov 30, 2024 that said Tesla has rehired the entire Supercharger team (except for Tinucci).

 

[RickMachE]

To be clear, Ford's lawyers somehow avoided a recall. It is not a recall, it is a CSP (Customer Satisfaction Program). But a CSP with a warning to not use it...

A2Z was forced by Tesla to do a recall. Total bullcrap.
