Ford Telsa Adapter. - difficult to plug in

[cc_lightning]

Hi,

Charge at a telsa supercharger with the ford supplied adapter for the first time last weekend. I had a very difficult time getting the adapter to lock. I had to push really hard, so hard that the charging port was flexing. The latch didn’t catch until the internal lock engaged.

Do others have this issue? Am I doing something wrong?

thanks.

I used mine last week for the first time and it was easy. There are 2 variants though, which one do you have?

Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure how I can tell which adapter I have. There’s no markings on mine. Here’s a picture.

Thanks

Spoke too soon. Here’s the product info. My phone doesn’t pick up the QR code.

Same one I have. If it's the Tesla side then try moving the lock switch while inserting the plug. There were reports of tem being tight.

Have same adapter as you do.
I do put the adapter on the Tesla handle first and make sure it is seated all the way. Then I plug the whole unit into the truck. Used it several times and it plugs in fairly easy.

Plug the Tesla end into the adapter first. I have had to put the adapter against the curb and push real hard. It will not work unless the latch on the adapter is fully engaged. Then connect the adapter to the truck.

I wouldn't have a clue. Ford told me it would be here in December. Not too many days left and haven't seen a shipping tag generated.
Looks like I'm getting the YULE LOG this year.

Same thing here. I was supposed to get my adapter in November then December. Now I guess January?

Funny but I just had the opposite experience. I got the Tesla manufactured adaptor from Ford a week before my A2Z replacement arrived. On Sunday I needed a public charge for the first time and tried the A2Z and it was so tight I worried I'd break the charge port. Later in the day I need another charge and tried the Ford supplied adaptor and it went in and out smoothly.

That’s what she said. all jokes aside I have the A2Z and it works great. Gods knows when I’ll get my ford one.

You beat me to it, so I'll throw a twist on it.
Did you say In-n-out. Is that a double double.

Goddamnit now I’m hungry! And I won’t be back in the people’s republic of California for a few more weeks.

Where in California are you planning to come too.
Anywhere in the West LA , Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City area and the double double, fries and a shake are on me. Send me a DM and I'll make it work..
