Around 120,000 I think. At least that was the largest order number I've seen posted so far.

Lots of folks are blaming Tesla. Apparently Ford had a deal for Tesla to produce them. Honestly, I don't know anything about that. Tesla didn't tell me they'd send me an adapter. Ford did. I'd be just as happy if Ford called up A2Z and ordered them from there.

Pretty sure my updated order number, FAE:91000010, is not an accurate reflection of how many adapters Ford need to get and distribute. ?

Found out I need to make a road trip to Philly (300+ miles each way) at the end of this week. I looked at maps showing CCS DCFC’s between here and there and I see some areas that don’t make my “assume the worst” paranoia feel good.

Still no adapter from Ford, and A2Z would take at least a month to get. Ended up ordering a lecton vortex from Amazon with 1 day delivery.

Having those extra few SC options will make me feel better.

My latest update

Ordered mine in March and was so far down the waitlist it kept getting delayed. My ETA now is also October. The Lectron Vortex is looking really tempting right now. Currently 50 bucks off here. Anyone who can share their experirnce with this adapter or other third parties?

Thank you RickMachE for the great $29.00 discount at A2ZEV!

It was time for me get this done:
use RickMachE's code FORDFORUM

Rt28/Pa Turnpike exit to Breezwood is about 128 miles where EA CCS stations exists at Sheetz. Breezwood to Carlisle, Pa where another Sheetz store has EA stations is about 80 miles. Another 100 miles to Philadephia. Good luck.

PlugShare thinks there are only NACS and a rivian only CCS at Breezewood. There is an EA at Bedford I could go to 80% at, then hit EA in Carlisle. The stretch from Carlisle to Philly is mostly flat so should be more efficient.
However, I like to be prepared in case things go wrong. Having the SC adapter gives me that backup.

This.

Holding out for the “free” adapter just doesn’t seem worth the wait. Buy one and be done with it. This is way down on the Oracle of Pretoria’s “To Do” list.

I ordered. I literally need to be able to drive across the country and rescue my mother. Thank you RickMachE

They could create a schedule for auto-sending emails and keep that going for awhile.

just what everyone needs, another email telling them nothing...

Breezewood Tesla location is open

Wow, did my first road trip with supercharger access. What a better/pleasant experience. I have been doing CCS EV road trips since 2019.

It was so nice to not be on a Walmart tour, to find dispensers that were just working and to just have access to more chargers. Game changer to be honest.

Did about 400 miles total, started at 100%, ran ~230 miles, stopped/did a quick top up (30kwh in 15 minutes) and then ran another ~120 miles to where we (added 57 kwh in 38 minutes) had lunch.

Ran the remainder and arrived at my beach rental with ~45% and plugged the car into a wall outlet.

The a2z adapter worked great, no hassles. Used the Tesla app and took advantage of the monthly membership to buy down the per kWh rate.

All they have to do is authorize them.

You would have to get Tesla to authorize them, and that is not happening quickly. Musk is too much of a control freak, too sure he is always right.

not suppressed glad i have my a2z adapter

Ordered 1 month later…same ‘promise’ date.??‍

 

[Jgg181]

The first person I see do this I will sell them some prime waterfront property - that comes with a free flotation device!

Ahhh, you have waterfront property w/free flotation…you must live in Florida?…many sales of this type recently!??

You are very welcome!

It's actually a bigger discount.

The Typhoon Pro discount is 10%, i.e. $215 reduced to $193.50 by using the code. Then, if you buy the Stellar adapter for Destination charging in the dropdown menu, you get it for $67.50, instead of its regular price of $113. $215 + $113 = $328. You pay $261, a savings of $67, or 20.4% off.

It doesn't look as big because by using the dropdown menu on the Stellar, you see the combined $290 price, which already includes a discount on the Stellar.
