So I just picked up my new 2024 Flash on Thursday and so far love it. But I’d like to have the option to charge it at a Tesla station. Mine did not come with an adapter.
Any recommendation on which adapter I should purchase? Thanks.

I got the Lectron and it worked great over the holidays on a 1,200 mile road trip.

Is there a difference between the fast chargers and the ones I’d use at a hotel? Just want to know if I need to buy more than 1 adapter.

Yes, level 1/2 type chargers found at hotels & restaurants require a different adapter.
The DC fast charging adapter will not work at these locations.

A2Z sells both, you can get a package deal IIRC

Thanks. I guess I have 2 I have to get. Still very new to EV so I’m still trying to figure things out.

I just ordered the pair of adapters from A2Z while on sale. Lectron would’ve been my second choice but with the sale the two from A2Z were only a few bucks more. I haven’t taken delivery yet, but will need to be able to charge at home off my Tesla charger as well as road trips.

Which ones did you get? Just want to make sure I’m getting the right thing. Thanks.

I have A2Z Typhoon. Works good and looks nice. Never tried any other ones, so can't say anything about the other ones.

Have both the A2Z and the Ford, they both work fine - the Ford bangs around in the door pocket the A2Z goes back in its padded case. Pretty much sums up the quality, Ford gets the job done the A2Z will still be kicking in 10 years.

Destination is likely handy but hasnt been a factor worthy of expense so far (that said if getting the A2Z order both same time for deal).

TaxmanHog, my Ford adapter was recalled. I made sure the address was correct in my account. And I've heard nothing from Ford about when the replacement should arrive. Two questions, if I may. 1. Do you have any word on the status of the replacement adapters? 2. If need be, can I still use the original one? (I almost needed to on a trip to Maine Friday.) Thanks (and thanks for all you do on this forum.)

Unfortunately I don't have direct access to this data. only Ford customer service can answer questions.
