Availability of NACS Adapter

[redgrandam]

My A2Z adapter is on its way. They are turning orders around in the 10-15 day range. They said that later this month they’ll turn orders around in 3-5 days. I’m just glad that mine will be here in time for my trip in April.

Now that we have an official video of Rivian testing on the supercharger network, I’m glad I put in my A2Z order when I did. I’ll have it before my Ford adapter arrives.

Where was that video about the Rivian?

oh, peace, my friend! ?

I was just being a cantankerous old man… i’ve seen how you can fit, and yes, it works. in fact, I am a member of the Huntsville Tesla owners group and have chatted with people about using the superchargers (not so much for me, but for other EV users coming through town.)

BTW, the Tesla owners group in Huntsville Alabama is a great group! Friendly and accommodating, and for anyone passing through Huntsville to wanting to use the Tesla charging station, they have 12 Superchargers and 3 of them would be very easy to access with an MME or lightning.

I am just wondering what Tesla is planning to sell us with the so-called extension cord that will be available “later this year“ I just don’t understand how it can be a supercharger cable and be reasonably priced, what with the cooling requirements and insulation.

this is something Tesla needs to fix in their charging stations in order to build their infrastructure out, not charge users for something that should be as easily available as an EA supercharger

Bob, you had three Prius before your Model 3. Posted many interesting insights in the past at your previous forum. You are a retired engineer and thought you might post a fix for this Tesla issue with non-Tesla owners?

Wrong guy here my friend never owned a Prius… considered a Tesla …and settled on MME ??

Where was that video about the Rivian?

On X…formerly Twitter. There was also a 2nd video. Apparently they were testing last night: one of the testers was using a A2Z adapter.

Same here. I ordered a Lectron adapter last week, and there has been no update since then. Happy to hear that they will start shipping this month.

Yep, I definitely will. They contacted me over the weekend to verify my address and said they would let me know when they have shipment info. I'm curious to see the differences.

Since you have done many P&C charges already, how long has it been taking Ford to bill you? I tested Tesla P&C on the MME Sunday and they have not billed me yet. Tested my R1T at Tesla using P&C on Monday and Rivian billed me the same day.

Ordered a Lectron adapter 2/29, they charged my card 3/2, still waiting for shipping notice. I am assuming supply-chain delays.

It has always been within a few minutes.

I ordered my Lectron on nov 2nd. I emailed to check up on it and they say they should have it shipped by end of march.
We will see how it goes I’m sure there will be a thread here once people start getting them in hand.

Guess I got a free charge then, feel like I have an ID4.?

Ford bills for Plug in Charge IMMEDIATELY. I'll get the email before I sit back down in the car most times. Once in a while it is delayed.

We tested using the Ford and the A2Z adapter last weekend:


And Ben Sullins used both our A2Z adapter and the Ford adapter to charge his Rivian:



(There are 15% discount codes floating around for A2Z. I can't say exactly where because that would break the rules for self promotion, but hopefully that description is a hint.) ??

That happened to me the first time I used an EA charger to test P&C. Just lucky, I guess!

I had one case with EA a long time ago where I did not get charged. I still don't have the Tesla icon in Fordpass for P&C, only EA.
