Was hoping to see the testing done with a lightning towing a trailer, pulled in blocking multiple stalls.

This guy tested the A2Z NACS adapter. Seemed to work great. Jump to the 10 minute mark.

Sure hope Jim’s ‘soon’ and my ‘soon’ are inside the same universe.

Huh.... Seems like a more expensive way to use a magic dock station. I'll wait for my free adapter and activate whatever Supercharger I want

From multiple videos, there's no doubt that the A2Z connector works. The Lectron adapter in all likelihood works fine as well.

It's good news that adapters built to the spec, including things like interlock switches, all appear to work like a champ.

I own an A2Z adapter. So, I'm ready Day 1. I'll use it until my free adapter arrives from Ford. Then, I'll likely toss the A2Z into our Mini -- which won't be getting a free adapter.

Jim is now using “very soon!”

June?

That is my WAG

June?

That is my WAG

I will vote for Sept. and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

When they announced it, I was hoping for February....I was way to optimistic.

PS I have been to the Tesla Batavia, NY location - and tried their Magic Dock.
It worked great, except I had to park sideways and block 3 chargers because the Tesla charger cord is so short. I almost wish the adaptor came with a 1-2 foot pigtail. That is all you would need when pulling straight into existing Tesla chargers.

I believe there was someone at Tesla that was quoted as saying late February or March. I trust Tesla's timeline more than I trust Ford (though the Cybertruck release estimates were awful).

SOON

Nah - Ford is better here. How is that new Tesla roadster coming that people paid for in full about 5 years ago? How about Tesla FSD being full level 5 autonomous so people could use their cars as a loan out taxi service while they worked?

 

[Danface]

For my estimate, I'm going withe "Eventually".

Took my Lighting to a V3 charger nearby and measured. Cable was about 3ft short. Not sure how they expect us to use this. Blocking other chargers will not work. So we really won’t have access.

This is truly ridiculous. Tesla is not going to retro install thousands of longer cables. God is there no one with two brain cells working on this?
