There was an interview with Farley yesterday and he mentioned texting Musk about the adapters. He didn’t say what the response was. If you need an adapter this year I would suggest ordering one from A2Z. The relevant part of the interview starts around the 21 minute mark.
Today 6/7
Order Number: FAE:90001140 is on its way.

Maybe Elon was just waiting for the begging from Ford. Needed his ego stroked.
Text Transcript:

Farley: Hey, what’s going on with the adapters?

Elon: You’re fired.

Farley: I don’t work for you.

Elon: Does that matter?

Farley: …I’ll publicly acknowledge I respect you if you start shipment again.

Elon: Deal.

My order # is 4k something. I had just about given up receiving my adapter before my next trip to Colorado in August but now hope grows. You would think that just a single guy packing boxes could package a couple of hundred in a day, I guess we will know in a week if the rollout is on again or if Ford and Tesla are just playing games with us; again.

That's what I'm picturing, some guy handwriting the labels, throwing them in the back seat of his own car, dropping them off at a fedex location on his lunch break

Lectron coming tomorrow. Delay in shipping by USPS. (what do you expect). Latch defect supposed to be corrected but even if not, better than nothing. I notice here that everyone goes for A2Z whereas on other sites, Lectron is often chosen. To me, 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other.

The boxes are relatively small, one pallet load of them could be between 500 and 1000 units, no? I feel like any shipping department could knock 20,000 out in a week, as long as they got them in.

You're assuming there's a shipping department and not just one single Bob who is responsible for unloading the pallet from the trucks, unpacking them, separating them into individual boxes, printing out cards, faking Farley's signature, sealing them up, printing out the mailing list from a Windows 95 machine, rebooting, calling IT for help, successfully printing but not sure to which corporate printer it went to, finding Susan to help, locating the printed mailing labels in another building, heading back only to find another pallet has arrived, getting deflated and calling it a day, comes in the next morning to finally apply the label, puts the box in a corner, and waits until 6pm when FedEx comes to pick it up.

Bob is capable of 3, maybe 5 boxes per week.

So to recap, back in early April we had order numbers 8-936 and [in error] 7880-8078 ship. Allowing for some orders unreported above/below those order numbers, that's about 1200-1300 adapters.

Two months later in early June, we have numbers 1133-1917, so maybe another 1000-1200 are shipping.

Sheesh.

Please keep the updates coming in if you've got shipping information, then give another update when they arrive. I also got my email for shipping just a few minutes ago.

I will make an update to the spreadsheet tracker later this evening and add all updates that are shared in this thread.
