If I was a betting man they have them made, now this is just a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory....my guess they are releasing them this way so Tesla chargers doesn't get swamped......

Again just a wacky tinfoil hat moment

I think you are right. They want the initial rollout to go smooth as butter.

Wow - had the inside scoop and still order number 206. Can't they do you a solid for that drive? I guess that is getting to keep the prototype.

Did Kyle happen to note his path across the US? Will have to see if he has noted it.

Why do we even need to reserve? Ford has our info, just ship one to every owner.
Mailing address can be outdated, so you have to validate or update, then not all customers have an immediate want or need, many of which are probably hanging back a week or so to place the order.

I'm sure as the initial surge subsides, the ordering experience will improve.

Do you have to be enrolled in BlueOval to order adaptor? All I keep getting is โ€œconnected servicesโ€ with no ability to order. Ford should have mailed these adaptors according to purchase dates.
Yes you need to be enrolled

Hahhhhhhaaa,

I hit the road from Mass to NJ at 2am, 210 miles through NYC traffic, near gale force winds and flash freezing conditions, rolled out of garage 100% and fully pre-conditioned, arrived at the meeting point with 11%, chilled for 90 minutes waiting for Ford team and rest of invitees to arrive, I cranked up the cabin heat and set a local EA station as my destination to make sure the HVB stayed warm and ready to kick off a strong charging session.
Look at Mr. MovieStar coming in to talk to us peons.

oh we spied you out and knew you were busy! You got a lot of catching up to do! A full day with no teacher to slap us on the wrist... and a class fully of very excited kids. We threw a lot of spitballs, passed notes, and talked about bypassing Bonded Neutrals all day! ;)

You need to select the filter to the right - "Superchargers open to NACS".
Thanks, thatโ€™s helps. Thank you for the advice. So many options. lol.

Ship date July - hopefully this is an "under promise, over deliver" situation!

Don't know what "This supercharger is Open to Tesla and Other EVs with CCS compatibility" means. Does it mean it will work even though it's not listed as open to NACS?
Those are Magic Doc stations covering all other CCS1 vehicles, look for the 'Open to NACS' stations as those which will work with the new Tesla/Ford adapters

How did your test go at Seekonk?

I visited the site early evening to top up my truck after a long road trip day, it worked perfectly!!!!
