Shipments were delayed twice already. I don't see how it could possibly happen again. I mean, three delays in a row? The odds are astronomical!
That’s why I always carry a bomb with me when I travel by air. The odds against there being 2 bombs on a plane are astronomical!

This must have been in the plans in July. This is why Ford knew to skip August for the next delivery estimate.

So if one were to buy a brand new Mach-E, would one get the adapter with it, or are you playing the same waiting game as everyone else?

I don't think the adapters are coming with new cars YET. Pretty sure they're supplying the people that have been waiting first. After they get caught up, then maybe.

It clearly says "OEMs are also..." Ford is an OEM and has their own supplier. ?
Engineers with Ford's charging team made it very clear in the spring that Tesla was supplying Ford with the adapters. While it is possible that Ford is looking to switch to Lectron, Lectron was not the original supplier. Tesla was.

And with this apparent news that Tesla is finally getting production up to 8000 adapters/week (a dramatic leap from what was previously produced and delivered), I suspect Ford will stick with Tesla. 8000/wk is a serious number.

Ford probably knew that was coming when they gave the September update. Wouldn't surprise me if the next batch Ford gets soon is upwards of 20,000. Pure guess, of course, but Ford and Rivian have been alternating so far and Rivian got the last batch.

My place in this line was so far back that it made it far easier for me to just fold and fetch the Typhoon.

Got to christen it on its maiden voyage this past weekend. I gotta admit that even for someone who home charges 98% of the time, there's something very comforting about having an adapter onboard.

GM is getting ready to ship Lectron adapters. They have a brochure showing them.
