Tom Moloughney has another great video that answers the question that should precede the question of which charger to get: which charger do you need?

The Tesla charger is one of Tom Moloughney's top picks:

That was a short-term slow down on Ford’s part, not a significant increase by GM.

That was true last month. It is no longer true. There's a thread on here somewhere.

How did you get yours?

Yes, Tesla port is left rear. Getting a Tesla cable to reach can be challenging and may require parking in the next space over. Adapters and software will only work on Gen 3 and newer. Maybe. Farley said they were sending them to existing owners. Notice on Ford Pass says price not yet set.

Sort of. At 8 NY and 2 CA sites, the Superchargers are equipped with Magic Docks that allow CCS1 vehicles to charge. The adapter for Fords would simply be a retooled Magic Dock designed into a smaller, simpler form factor.

NACS ports on Gen2 BEVs starting MY25.

There may not have been much outlay on Ford's part. This has the potential to give Tesla access to NEVI funds.

Agreed. Isn't this thread supposed to be about Tesla prices???? Maybe y'all thought this was https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/why-tesla-epa-are-both-wrong-about-ev-range.4081/ or https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/mach-e-gt-5-second-throttling-discussion-by-out-of-spec.13827/

So has Dolly 😆

I've driven one. It's a decent Model 3 competitor but with a lift back. Less space than a Mach E and lousy visibility out that back window. I know a couple of folks who own them and are very happy with them. Due to Chinese construction, the cost in the US includes a hefty tariff. And yet you...

If it's the same $175 as the current CCS1 -> NACS adapter (or even twice that) I'd order today.

So did Thursday's press announcement. That's where the 12,000 charger count comes from. Tesla probably only plans to implement the software on v3 and v4 Superchargers (coming soon). My guess is it would be too much trouble to implement this on v2s that are on their way out anyway.

So about a grand for parts. Interesting.

While it talks about pricing, it doesn't rule out free chargers for existing owners. They could set a policy that owners of vehicles delivered before 5/26/23 (Farley pronouncement on CNBC) get a free adapter. Since the CCS1 -> NACS adapter retails at $175, let's figure cost to Ford would be...

True but Mach Es don't charge much about 150 kW.

Interesting. Not sold by Tesla but looks like it should work. That may become a needed accessory.

Tesla is about to start rolling out v4 chargers. They’ll replace many of the v2s first (supposedly).

How do you deal with the fact they are liquid-cooled cables?
