I received my replacement adapter today. 👍

Anything to help reduce insurance premiums is a good thing.

I wouldn't use sawzall on the adapter given the insulating material. I can't imagine that it's something that you'd want to breathe in.

There are five screws under stickers/pads that allow you to pull the CCS side off along with its o-ring. Inside you will find the big conductors for DC and a lot of (silicon-based?) insulation material. I removed some of it to expose a conductor. It is well-made.

I also got a shipping confirmation for the new adapter. A2Z steps up and keeps it simple. 👍

A2Z has updated its exchange process. We are no longer shipping the V1 adapters back. We are being asked to dispose of the V1 adapters and sending them a picture. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yb1HkJfjTSnJnlVuCiViHCJHf0-3nTW2 I have to imagine that this will help A2Z safe a lot of...

I got the same messages and also awaiting details on how I send the old adapter back. I suspect that we'll be asked to ship the old adapter back using box/label enclosed with the new adapter -- which is the most customer friendly way to do this. Thanks A2Z!

I paid cash for mine, title in hand. I plan on driving mine for at least 10 years. Over time, the initial depreciation hit basically becomes irrelevant, ie you're only going take a bath if you try to bail early in the ownership experience. While all pickup trucks depreciate, there is truly a...

[DO NOT REPLY - AUTOMATIC EMAIL] Exchange Program for the Original Typhoon (V1 with slider lock) That's the email subject headline. I got the email. Started the Voluntary Exchange Process and uploaded my picture. Apparently, all of the slider style adapters are affected. Everyone that is...

Ford has been discretely de-contenting these trucks. My 23 Lariat ER in Rapid Red Metallic has a bunch of features that were included (like a Sunroof) as standard that are no longer available even as options on Lariat. I don’t feel so bad for having paid more and gotten more.

My Lightning lives outside. Do make sure that you have a level 2 charger hookup to plug the truck over those cold Minnesota nights. The truck is fine outside. It’s an F150. 👍

My Ford-supplied Tesla adapter wasn't part of the recall, but it feels decidedly janky compared to my A2Z adapter.

I did the 10k service myself and logged it. I had them do the 20k, because it was in for a recall anyway. The 20k was super cheap and they even threw in new wipers, so I didn’t think anything of bringing it in for the 30k service. For the 30k, they charged me $265 to rotate the tires and install...

Spoiler: CarPlay issues are nearly always the fault of the iPhone itself. Remarkable how people complain about infotainment, but give their phone a pass.

When you see the stainless steel panels removed on a Cybertruck, you will see a steel unibody of stamped steel pieces underneath. The Cybertruck is a steel unibody vehicle. Given the failures of Tesla's aluminum castings, those massive and unrepairable castings are not a benefit. There was an...

I certainly hope not. A modular Aluminum body on frame is a superior solution to Tesla's steel unibody wearing a stainless steel costume. Given the rust problems with the Tesla 3/Y, you can expect that Cybertrucks being operated through Northeast winters to turn into rusting hulks under those...

My 2023 Lariat ER got the update last night. From all of the posts, looks like Ford did a big push. 👍

I couldn’t care less about the Cybertruck. I find it amazing that Tesla fanboys spend time on Ford forums gushing about the CT. It’s pathetic that people paid a premium for the “Foundation” series. There’s nothing about the CT that screams “six figure” vehicle. Sure, there was a “look at me”...

While the opportunity with Ford owners is indeed closing, I suspect that A2Z will be selling a bunch of them to GM owners and others that aren't receiving free adapters. When our Mini gets access, I'll be putting the A2Z in that car.
