After owning the Mach E and now the Lightning for a total of almost 130,000 miles, I just discovered an amazing thing in the Ford NAV (which I use as a preference for navigation and charging):

Rather that searching for Tesla Superchargers under the CHARGERS button, where only a small minority of them will show up, I typed the keyword "Supercharger" in the NAV search bar on the top. ...and yes, a whole bunch showed up. Wish I would have tried this a year ago haha... it is certainly very useful to navigate to one during a longer trip.

Of course, the Tesla app or an aggregator app still is needed to distinguish between the mostly regional Magic Dock Supercharger versions, the "all EV with adapter" versions and the Tesla-only versions.

Hope this info is useful for others.

Ford doesn't do the map programming...
Ford does co trim it though, it’s Their Navigator system, they are responsible for it.

and the list of Supercharger locations is out there in Plug Share and many other databases, so I’m not blaming Ford’s incompetence on Elon Musk firing people.

its Ford’s Navigation system, they should see to it that it’s updated. That simple
