Is there more than Tesla supplying these?

Spoiler alert: the supplier that is causing problems is Tesla.

It's certain that neither Tesla nor Ford actually manufactures them, so I think that any supplier issue comes from whomever manufactures them and/or their part and material suppliers. The bottleneck is most likely in getting them actually made. Logistics (packaging, shipping, etc.) shouldn't be much of a problem.
I don't think we really know how Tesla may be involved. Who is handling logistics and arranging manufacturing? Tesla, Ford, or both? Who designed the adapter? I'm not really sure, and frankly it doesn't really matter. It really comes down to the fact that they can't be made fast enough. Ford says they didn't underestimate demand, but that doesn't mean that didn't underestimate how fast the demand would happen. It also could be that the manufacturer overpromised.

Note: just checked my order status ( FAE:90001568 ) on Ford.com. It says it will ship by June and that they are working hard to fulfill my order. I guess that technically that's correct but I received mine several weeks ago. once again FMC's IT systems are slow and not accurate. The IT director should be embarressed.

This is such corporate double talk BS. They're saying "It's not because we have too many orders, it's because our supplier can't keep up with all our orders."

So here we are at the 21st of June. My page as of about 5 minutes ago says that it's supposed to ship in June.
Here's me holding my breath.
The brain trust at Ford/Tesla shouldn't have said a damned thing about the adapters until they had them made in sufficient amounts. My order number is 6658.
Ford is trying to tell me that they have not had 6,700 of these charges made since I placed my order on 29 February? Four months and they have not made that amount?
Really? Really Ford?
I don't necessarily need the damned thing, however let's be honest in saying that you and Tesla (or whoever actually makes the damned thing) have completely and totally screwed the pooch.

Glad I bought my A2Z when I did. It has worked well. I also have a June delivery date. I can't remember, did the order form say what year the June was in?

I think Ford has decided to bundle the adapter with BlueCruise 1.4, and deliver both "soon" as a package deal.

The adapter looks identical to the magic dock adapter on some superchargers. Caveat I have not held the Ford adapter yet ):

Ford will be providing the June delay email next weekend.
its free, so nit much room to complain, except maybe they should’ve built up inventory before begining shipping to offset are annoyance,

A2Z & Lectron vs FREE Ford Adapter:
The old saw applies - you's got 3 choices - pick two:
1. You want it FAST ?
2. You want it CHEAP ?
3. You want it WELL DONE ?
I got's my A2Z in March, not FREE, 2 weeks & works WELL.
