If you hit enter 43 times, on the 44th it works.Well, the link for the adapter ford.com/FastChargingAdapter doesn’t work yet

this would suck if true. Relying on Ford’s OTA process to get access to a supercharger could take over a year for some people. There’s gonna be a lot of pissed off customers asking dealers to manually update.

It won’t take over a year. I suspect some aren’t receiving updates because updates that have been received by us Guinea pigs has caused issues. I’d like to think once you receive an update it’s perfect….. but who knows…

I see stories all over the forum about people not getting any updates for a long time or never getting one since they bought their truck.
I get that there could be bugs in the latest software but there’s no reason for some owners to be running 4.XX when 6.XX has been out for a while and 7.XX is almost here.

A big majority of those were with '23 model trucks, but that jam seems to have broken for many over the last 2 weeks. Ford has SW flying everywhere right now.

All of the original posts (from Facebook and Reddit) have been removed. Which means it’s probably legit.

There’s an authentication protocol. If the software on your vehicle doesn’t authenticate properly, it won’t charge.
In the same way, Tesla has long been blocking specific cars after they’ve been salvaged and rebuilt. If they can block a specific vehicles, they can block an entire brand.
That said, I suspect Tesla is opening it for revenue first and foremost. I suspect once they start generating revenue they’ll offer free supercharging again to their customers to then boost sales. A two part process that brings cash flow as well as boost sales. I don’t think Tesla wants to limit any brands from access.

It would be deleted as it would be EAP…
But hypothetically let’s say someone did get it as a part of EAP. I’m not sure how such a person would be able to actually test it and provide feedback without access to an adapter. Seems silly to roll out such an update without also providing the tester with an adapter….
