Now that I will have a Tesla adapter, can someone give guidance or direct me to a thread for a Lightning driver that:.
1. Has not used public charging in close to 2 years (charge at home and work)
2. Will use public charging sparingly-only on rare longer trips

Questions:
1. Does this seem correct? I'm guessing paying a subscription fee is not worth it to me, as I will not recoup the subscription.
2. What Apps should I have on my phone, or should I use what Ford provides in the vehicle to identify the eligible/available Tesla charging locations.

Thanks.

Thanks, what about subscribing if I only charge at Tesla less than 5 times per year?
You can subscribe a month at a time. You need to determine if it makes sense to get the discount or not. Most people buy it for a long trip with multiple charges and then cancel. You need to use the Tesla app and activate through it if you buy the discount plan.

WOW.... What huge gains... Broke 10 thousand shipped... At this rate this thread will be like 500,000 posts... A post for when you ordered, 2-3 extra for the frustration of delays and email posts, some bitching posts to Ford, 2-3 posts for it says shipped and that you got it, glory pictures of you charging at a Tesla station, 2-3 more posts that you bought an a2z or lectron or you have one to sell now or advice that you should have bought one or better yet you are mad that you had to buy one and then all the posts for how to use the other brand adapters then the newer adapter version, then more posts how it's a game changer, then the debates of swapping out the current port for NACS port....Blah blah blah. One day I will be able to say, hey mine shipped, #89xxx. 🫣.... And the comments, what do you want a cookie? I had mine for 2 years and I don't even use it and it's for sale on eBay for $20.

Just playing, but I wanted to be a part of the 500,000 post thread... I only charge at home with the overabundance of net meter solar, and when out shopping at free local charge point locations, which always nets what it took to get there and home.
Thanks for joining the thread, but please keep it with the truck for the next owner. That $20 shouldn't make or break you.

That is a lot of good activity from the last 3 days. My count says about 14900 shipped to Ford owners from reports on this forum.

One report to Canada was in that mix.

For anyone with a 3d printer, check out this model I found online. I just printed up one for my adapter which comes tomorrow. The adapter is designed for the glove box. The author (not me) is selling them as well for anyone that doesn't have a 3d printer and doesn't want to deal with the library.
