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

[Mmiketa]

At #1235 I'd say I'm definitely a victim of the folks in the upper-7,000s/lower-8,000s getting theirs early...Ford's website still says "by April" for me, but I'm doubtful

It’s pretty unfortunate, but shit happens. I was lucky enough to be #30 so I knew I’d be in the first batch.

Yeah, I've done just fine without the adapter for 18 months -- it's just such a tease to be so close! Well done with #30!

I'm 1376 also with an April ship date and nothing has arrived yet.

I’m #7196. I never received a confirmation email and so I have called a couple of times. They confirmed I’m on the list. I was told a week ago that there had been problems and that, in a few days, my status should show up on the Ford app. So far, it never has. She still indicated that I could expect May delivery Out here in West Texas, without the Tesla network it’s almost impossible to take a trip in the truck

Balderdash ..... none of our status conditions were indicated in the app or ford.com website!

Mine arrived when it was supposed to.

Not a lot of updates, but it has been a week, so here is the latest.

Kind of annoying to look at this list and see that damned near everyone ahead of me has received their adapter

Better than looking at the list and see that damned near everyone after you has received their adapter.

Half full.

I’d say this is like watching the grass grow but this time of year the grass is growing fast. Certainly faster than this rollout.

My continued fear is Tesla is in control of this. And they want to slow roll the impacts. There’s no reason Ford would want to warehouse thousands of adapters. Which means Ford doesn’t have them. So either Tesla is randomly building mass inventory for mass ship out - which makes little to no sense. Or they wanted the “win” of getting the first adapters out and the free press, and then everything after that is just wishful thinking and goes much slower than projected. Them being able to hit their May projections after releasing just 1300-1500 a month ago seems like a big stretch. We are definitely at 2000/week to hit the numbers now, and every day that goes by it gets harder to achieve that.

Will be interesting to see what happens next week. Hoping we see at least 1000-1500 get shipped out.

I hear they reassigned the adapter builders to put rivets in accelerator pedals.... could be awhile.

Did anyone see the update from Rivian that they are now sending emails confirming address with shipments starting soon? I was hoping they would get more Ford customers their adapters first before starting on the other automakers but on well. Rivian also seems to be sending them out based on VIN# which makes much more sense than what for did.

Looking like all 4 of my trips that I could have used this for throughout the spring and into June will have come and gone by the time I see it.

The June trip is to a place that is an absolute desert of any charging whatsoever, so I am really hopeful that my June ship-by ends up being early but things are looking really bleak here.

I think everyone in western PA is probably going to use theirs more than most everyone else... the ability to skip Bedford, PA electrify America and go straight to Breezewood will be amazing.

I am coming to the conclusion that Ford is done with us F150L owners. They have lost a ton each of our trucks and are not wanting to continue to build and promote these. Therefore, they don’t seem to care how well they treat us. They don’t need or seem to want our assistance in prompting them.

Updates have slowed to a near standstill. Adapters are slow to arrive. Features announced to be available last year (Blue Cruise 1.2,3,4) are no where to be seen.

It pains me to say this, because I have been a strong supporter of their new vehicles for several years, but looks like it’s over for Fords EV’s for sometime to come.

/Rant ended.

Not good…Just got an email that “due to constants” my adapter delivery has went from May to June….
