Some Tesla official said so in a Planning Commission meeting here:

NEWS: Ford and GM vehicles will gain access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers in North America in February 2024, according to Jenny Pretare, Tesla Design Manager of Charging Infrastructure.

"We're opening up to most of the other car manufacturers in stages just to make sure we don't get swamped all at once." Farr West Planning Commission (Utah?)

Itโ€™s not like a Tesla official to lie to get some advantage.

I am not too excited about getting access to Tesla chargers. Here in San Antonio and all over Texas at least 80% of the superchargers are version 2 which the adapter will not work with. So until those are updated (which I don't expect soon) we are a bit out of luck. Sure there are some V3 chargers, but it's not good here. Even EA chargers are spaced out and not at all convenient to go to. The nearest to me is 10 miles away and the next closes one is another 28 miles away. People might not believe it but Texas is near the bottom of states for EV charging!
What are you talking about? There are like 6 250kw locations in SA. The one downtown (16 stall) and the one at The Rim (20 stall) were just added in the last few months. There is not a location in SA that does not have a 250kw. There is literally ONE EA in all of SA. If you want to go to South Padre it is literally ONLY Tesla and there is a new 250kw in Alice and they have plans for a new 250 in Kingsville (150 now). There are also 250s in Harlingen and Brownsville.

Not much out here in Converse and beyond. When I drove my model 3 from Palm Springs, CA to San Antonio, all the way from Southern New Mexico and northern Texas down to San Antonio, ALL the chargers I used were V2 chargers

My understanding was the only reference was by the Tesla Charging representative that you linked to.... All of the Media communication prior to that and since has always said Spring 2024 for Ford's access. With that said I will put my chips on 6/20/24 at best.

Remember Ford stated we would receive Bluecruise 1.4 before the end of year 2023?!?

I dont trust their (or well really anyones) timelines.
I remember everything saying "Spring", I don't recall seeing a year, but maybe I missed it.

DEARBORN, Mich., May 25, 2023 โ€“ Ford Motor Company said today it reached an agreement with Tesla Motors that will provide Ford electric vehicle customers access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada, doubling the number of fast-chargers available to Ford EV customers starting Spring 2024.

Youโ€™d have to go to Stone Oak or Downtown or The Quarry but that could still be faster than waiting at the EA charger. They are all maybe 10-15min further than the EA location from Converse.

Thereโ€™s a 250 under construction for Converse.
