    Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

    There would be people complaining no matter which triage method Ford used to determine the shipping order. It also seems Ford is limited by how many adapters Tesla can provide them per month. As noted, Tesla is providing adapters to other car companies so their production maybe going full tilt...

    Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

    Ford is using Hollingsworth to ship out the adapters. I would not be surprised if Tesla sends the adapters direct to Hollingsworth, where they warehouse, kit, and ship the adapters. It is obvious there was an determination on how many adapters they could get and ship each month...

    Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

    In Fedex Delivery Manager I had to click on Advanced Shipment Tracking under the Tracking menu to see the incoming package. I did not get any emails from Fedex until a delivery attempt was made. Still no status update from Ford, either by email or webpage status.

    NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    I realize today that ABRP will show the green circles/icons when it knows the charger is available, which is mostly the Tesla Superchargers. The black circles mean unknown status. The red circles means unavailable.

    NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    Or it could be habit or lack of information on V3 locations. The do not have to figure out if it is V2 or V3. They just plug in. I got a pleasant surprise when I used ABRP to route up to Montreal. I added Tesla as a preferred charger along with Electrify America and EVgo. My favorite route to...

    NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    Plus as I understand it every two v2 dispensers are power-shared so Tesla drivers tend to spread out to every other dispenser when charging.

    The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

    I did the powertrain updates and the GWM lost Ethernet connectivity with the APIM. I tried resetting the APIM, rerunning the self-test, and the DTC did not go away. I noticed the Charge Assist app in the APIM returned an error after a delay due to no internet connectivity. I looked at it today...

    NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    I heard comments that mixed V2/V3 sites are not included, so indicating Tesla can just upgrade the dispensers without upgrading the station networking infrastructure. Other comments I saw indicate V2 sites use a Canbus based protocol and V3 sites use CCS protocol. The CCS protocol also allows...

    Ford Dealership fast/ultra charging

    I find this thread interesting because I stumbled on a Ford Dealer in Canada with new but unused L2 and DCFC units. I assume they are EV certified based on all the EVs I saw at the dealership. I walked to lunch one day that passed by a Ford dealer. This dealer used multiple Mach-E vehicles for...

    The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

    Taylor who? I checked today and had the power train updates, including the BECM. I am wondering if it is a backport of some of the 2024 changes. The BECM should control the charging curve. I wonder if this 4/29 date mentioned in another thread is an announcement about improvements to the 2021 -...

    4/29/2024 🤞

    The date where it will not matter what Ford does due to a much bigger event. :)

    NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    I am leaning more on ABRP with live data for my route planning and navigation. Now that I got my NACS adapter, I wondered if I would be stuck using Ford Navigation. It turns out ABRP will show and use NACS if you select it in the Settings under Chargers & Networks | Type of chargers. I do know...

    US Based MME Traveling to Canada and Superchargers

    Some motels have outlets for block heaters. Even through it is only Level 1, 12% SOC (over 33 miles range) can be added overnight.

    US Based MME Traveling to Canada and Superchargers

    I had no problem with download and setup of the Electrify Canada app on my Android phone. I used a Electrify Canada charger in Sherbooke a few days ago. You have to activate the charger in the EC app first as P&C does not work. You may also want to download and setup the Ivy Charge app as an...

    NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    I did a trip up to Quebec from Boston for the eclipse last Sunday. The chokepoint was the Electrify America chargers in West Lebanon, NH, where there seemed to be a continuous queue of a few cars. I had to wait about an hour to charge. I noticed there was a nearly empty Tesla Supercharger site...

    Mach-E Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    I am order #153. The package was due today between Noon and 3 PM. It was not delivered and the Fedex Delivery Manager indicated it could not be delivered (I had Fedex delivered here before with no problem). The text message just said the package was delayed. I went to the Fedex place after the...

    First Tesla Superchargers with "Magic Dock" CCS Adapter are online... and charged up a Rivian

    I charged at the Supercharger in Lynnfield, MA to gain some experience for when my adapter arrives (I found out later it's next week!). There is room off the right end, but there is a post that made it slight tricky. I found that moving slightly to the left gave me some more room. Some delay as...

    Ford NACS Adapter has shipped [and NOW ARRIVING]!

    Boy, did I get a surprise. No emails. My Order Number is FAE:90000153 due this month. I had signed up for Fedex Delivery Manager years ago so I logged in to check. Under Advanced Shipment Tracking I see a package. Hopefully it is the adapter and not the advanced Romulan technology that is on...
