Your Fast Charging Adapter is currently in production. While demand has been very high, supplies are currently limited. We’re working hard to stock as many as we can, as fast as we can. We will send you a follow-up email as soon as your adapter is ready to ship.

Im curious about the A2Z or other third party ones...

Did you get the OTA to your truck? I only have the updated FordPass and do not have the Tesla option.

I got one for MME, but not not for Lightning (last update in July). From update release notes, it sounds like the OTA is only needed for plug&charge, and we could still use fordpass to initiate a charging session.

Use Ford Pass App no issues: Order under Blue Oval Network. Vehicle-Charging-Blue Oval-Order

Same, but I expect them to work the same. After I ordered my Ford one this morning and noted the May ETA I also ordered the AZ one. This way I will be more likely able to use Tesla charging on my big trip in March...so we will see how it works!

Just saw another thread where someone says they successfully used the A2Z, no plug and charge, but it worked supposedly!

Those A2Z adapter purchasers aren't looking so silly now - they can charge TODAY! They don't have to wait until June to be shipped their adapter. I actually had a trip to Mammoth, CA coming up this weekend that would have been handy for considering there're 0 CCS chargers there and 2 supercharger collections!

Totally. Ive got two coming now for this reason (one Ford, one A2Z)

I'd wager non-Fords can also charge from today using that adapter

For sure. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm not in any super hurry and dont' need to fast charge much so I don't mind waiting for the free one. Folks who really need them on a regular basis and pulled the trigger I'm sure are pretty happy with their decision right now!

I was up at 2am to get to Toys R Us because my daughter wanted a Tickle Me Elmo. The arguing and pushing was a sight to see.

Y'all got any of them Cabbage Patch Kids?

I would disagree. Charging involves a handshake between the car and the charger to make sure it's eligible to charge. Ford and Tesla worked together to make this happen, all the adapter does is move pin locations. Other cars would fail the handshake with the charger and fail.
