I have been reading the forum for a long time, but this is first post....great content here.
I have an upcoming trip in early May, and the NACS adapter will allow me to complete the trip about 2.5 hours faster than if I didn't have it (EV's in midwest can suck). I was lucky enough to randomly be on the Ford app at the exact moment that the adapter request went live.... This allowed me to receive the adapter early.
I was contemplating ordering an A2Z adapter, but was uncomfortable with the "Not recommended by Tesla / Ford" so decided against it. Due to owning both a Lightning and a Mach-E, I am now in possession of two official adapters. Personally, knowing that there are people out there that this adapter could make a substantial difference to a road trip for them, I figured I'd earn some life karma and loan it out for a while. I realize that I could get screwed over...but hoping there is some level of trust in the community.
I am open to a more democratic solution to who gets it, but best I can think of is send me a DM and I'll weigh the options. I plan on sending it out Friday (April 12) and am hoping that it will be used soon. I think it would be great if you can use it for the road trip and send it to the next person in need (And hopefully by the time all the orders are fulfilled I can get it back).
If anyone has ideas for a good way to determine who gets the adapter, I am open to ideas.
TL;DR -- I have an extra adapter, I'll pay for shipping to get it to you with the condition that you pay for shipping to send it back / to the next person.
Sorry, someone else will already have it during that time.Not sure if you can swing it but I am road tripping May 26th through June 2nd. Mine was supposed to ship in May then changed to June like so many others. Happy to pay shipping to and from. If it's already taken no big deal, I'll just have to re-route my charging stops.
No problem and no need to be sorry. You are doing a great thing sharing it in the first place!Sorry, someone else will already have it during that time.
The adapter is off to the next person. So far it looks like it has traveled from Iowa to Virginia to Seattle and now onto New Hampshire. It missed out on a trip from Seattle to San Diego via the 5 and 395 passing Yosemite. Attached are a couple of photos of the brief stop in Seattle. Those Tesla cords sure are short.I want to share how much I appreciate this forum, and the community that contributes to it and how we support each other. I am about to drive approximately 2500 miles up and down the west coast starting this weekend over an 8 day period. I was nervous about the commute without access to the Tesla network. Thanks to this forum I was able to borrow an adapter from cyclops for this trip. A forum member shipped me the adapter about a week ago in time for my journey.
Ford delivered my adapter order today so I will work with Cyclops to pass it along to the next traveler. The fact that we have members that will loan things like adapters out to other forum members is wonderful and much appreciated. Thanks again cyclops and everyone else that forms this community.
