Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

[GDN]

no to clarify they said it hadn’t shipped

Yours was one of those that shipped to the orders up in the 7000's. LOL. So they just don't know how to document that and if they need to move you to June or just stare blankly at the data.

Are they actually shipping from Ford, or from Tesla? Because as a nearly 10 year Tesla owner, I can tell you with confidence Tesla's going to do whatever they feel like, no matter what the paperwork says, and then tell you you should feel good about it. Except I guess now they're saying that to some hapless Ford employees who are stuck in the middle.

Yep exactly. Bedford isn't just clogged up like always, it's actually closed completely for reno. Looks like maybe I can limp out to Carlisle and then head south to Gettysburg that way. Gonna have to charge to 100 at my house and hope there's no rain or headwind.

When are you going? I had to pick up (and overpay) for an adapter this week because I needed it for this weekend. I have another trip early June and going down 81 past Carlisle towards Hagerstown/70.

If it’s after my trip I’d be happy to sell or loan you mine. If it’s during my trip we can play pass the adapter as long as you offer to pay for all the gasoline my Lightning can take for life.

Make sure you stay on top of the charge in Carlisle. I was there a few weeks ago and it disconnected twice after about 2 minutes of charging, but worked on the third try.

My estimate says "by June". many consider that to mean sometime in june or by the end of June. But it says "BY JUNE" so mines gonna get her in the next 2 days? Time for Ford/Tesla to update us.

From looking at the list I should be next in line to receive one. Probably wishful thinking on my part. Hopefully soon though!

If Tesla is building them...maybe in their Buffalo NY Gigafactory.
Then they ship them to Ford, who is putting them in very nice boxes with a letter from Jim Farley.

The folks who received theirs in the beginning of April had "by April," not "by May"

The estimate should be written "by the end of <month>"

Now, as to what year? They left that part open-ended...

hopefully this just means they will actually deliver our (and Rivian owners') adapters before moving on to the additional brands.

Sure it does. Before the end of ‘the’ year for sure.

Okay, it’s June. Has anyone heard anything about whether their adapters have shipped? I have another trip planned to Colorado in August and I’m really hoping I don’t have to drive up there again without being able to use the Superchargers.

Nope, but thanks for getting my hopes up when I saw the thread had a new comment

There was an interview with Farley yesterday and he mentioned texting Musk about the adapters. He didn’t say what the response was. If you need an adapter this year I would suggest ordering one from A2Z. The relevant part of the interview starts around the 21 minute mark.

I texted him last night (about the adapters)... So far our partnership has been respectful.... Musk is responsive and we respect each other ....
