Just got this email from Ford that my adapter is going to be delayed. I a very low order number in the 1500s that was supposed to ship in May. No idea yet when the new estimated arrival date will be.

My order date was March 1. They promised delivery in August and that is still the estimated shipment month.

You lucky dog. I ordered mine on March 1 and they gave me a ship date of August. Do you know someone at Ford ? :p

They haven't changed my ship date so far. I was hoping to use it in late October when we might be taking a longer trip. Since we don't plan any longer trips before then, if I get it by mid October I'm OK.
Orders placed the first day span April, May (now June or July), and June for shipping dates. ?‍♂?

As @dbsb3233 said, those re-scheduling emails most likely haven’t gone out yet. There was more time crunch to re-schedule April and May estimated shipments. ??

No, i don't know anyone at Ford except a couple of folks I have met that work at Blue Oval City. My free adapter from Ford is showing a September delivery date. Based on what I am reading, that is likely to slip even later. What I was writing about was my A2Z manufactured adapter that I bought from them. That is the one that I received this week and will use until my Ford adapter comes.

The Ford adapters are being built by Tesla, correct? I think we may have a reason for the delays.

Tesla’s Senior Director of EV charging, would be leaving the company on Tuesday, along with most of her 500-person charging team.

Tinucci was responsible for Supercharger rollout, which means that the cutting of the Supercharger team may reflect a change in direction for Tesla. Tesla has been very successful at getting manufacturers to adopt its NACS plug – an effort led by Tinucci, which got her onto the TIME 100 Climate list – leading many to suggest that it will be able to run a profitable energy delivery business for a long time to come.

For those of you who are still anxiously waiting for adapters, I’d suggest reading the news this morning. Tesla decided to model its supercharger network after Electrify America. No need for an adapter anymore. Let’s find a way to tow a generator, a gas tank, and problem solved.

Came here to suggest this. Also probably why we haven’t seen any other EVs gain access. Volvos were also supposed to be gaining access around the same time as Rivian based on the initial announcements and that still hasn’t happened yet.
GM has the adapter part number in their system, but not available for ordering yet. Official announcement is expected in the next week or so.

Thank goodness Ford got access secured before this happened. I agree that there could be significant delays for other manufacturers gaining access to the SC network. I am more concerned about our delivery dates for the adapters. On the bright side (and very selfishly) the fewer OEMs who have access, the less busy superchargers will be for us.

Access secured? A switch can be thrown to revoke access. Lawsuits follow, but access is denied throughout.

As I stated prior, hopefully car companies have ironclad agreements as the person on the other end is irrational.
