The point I'm making is the adapter, between NACS male-female, not having adequate seal. And nothing to do with conductor insulation.
I agree with this, especially being 10' long. The connection point is very likely going to be on the ground. Will also scuff up the SC cable and head against the pavement.

Nice! Maybe I'll have mine next week and I can travel around and see if any of the Supercharger plugs in my area can reach the Lightning charge port. :)

Just kind of like the Lightning - I'm done with buying first year vehicles, or charging adapters. I'll wait on some feedback to know how these things operate and if they will carry a decent load with no overheating and how well they plug and unplug a few times.

The plug has been tested already. I believe A2Z published their results on their website already.

Farley and Ford published a lot as well. I'll check in around April and wait to see what Ford or Tesla officially sell.

If A2Z is shipping them then maybe it means they know Tesla is flipping the switch soon to show all v3 chargers in the app to enable them with an adapter.
Or, that A2Z is ready to start recovering their design and manufacturing costs without having any idea when Lightnings will be able to use Superchargers. I do appreciate them setting a pricing benchmark. I'll wait.

If you call them over the phone, the guy that always answers is the owner. He says in Febraury, Ford will display superchargers within the BOCN and payment will be handled through Ford. Between A2Z providing alot of details, and the Tesla town hall comments, February seems like a solid date with "Ford Charge" coming this month.

Frankly unless it is coming with an extension cord, I would much rather they focus on designing a NACS port that is compatible with the current Lightning and Mach-E that I can go pay a dealer to install and move fully to NACS at home and when out any about. 🤷‍♂️
Now, that would make too much sense

Kim Java (a Tesla YouTube influencer) recently evaluated the new Gen 4 Tesla supercharger and indicated that it has both the NACS and CCS plugs built into the charger. She also indicated that there was a credit card payment screen/terminal. In this regard, she noted that the credit card terminal and built in CCS adapter were not yet activated.
