Update. It still has not arrived. Only ~42k more to go. . So did Ford when they said it was a mistake when they accidently sent an estimated ship date of January 2025? NO! Because at this rate it will be around August. It's at a pace of about ~8k per month vs. the 8k per week they stated they were up to in manufacturing.

Yet there was some talks about a Lectron version being shipped instead. I have yet to see people post those, unless it looks the same at the tesla version.

Happy New Year to all.

Also note in that thread they are now up to 4095X as the latest adapter shipped.......

Are there separate queues for the adapter reservations? In other words, are MME and F150L reservations all grouped together and we've now eclipsed 40K?

Lightning orders shipping and being received are also in the same region count wise.

Yes, they're apparently going to go back in time to ship mine too. Realistically, I'm 131xxx, so at the current rate I'd expect it to be at least another 6 months.

I am 90045xxx
Order placed 3/3/2024

If you haven't gotten yours yet, there is no way I am getting this thing anytime soon. Very disappointing.

Just officially pushed to January 2025. Order placed night of 3/2 so shows up as 3/3 order.

Again, I hate to complain about getting something nice for free, but this was not handled well by Ford and Tesla. I remember when they originally pushed it to January 2025 a few months ago and then walked it back; it turns out they were telling the truth back then but changed it to try and save face.

I do not take this as a complaint and "free" really is a matter of perspective. I bought my '24 Lariat in August and the dealer was very much pushing that you could charge at "10s of thousands" Tesla Superchargers now. Of course being educated on the situation I asked about if the adapter would be delivered with the truck and I was told that they didn't have them in stock, so Ford would ship it directly within a week or two.

Right.

Of course after I found this forum and the reality set in that I wouldn't get the adapter for months and maybe more than a year, I feel that the promise was broken.

The dealership did set an expectation, whether condoned by Ford or not, that the adapter was included in the purchase of the $80k vehicle. I may feel differently if I had bought my Lightning before Ford entered into the agreement with Tesla for charging and getting an adapter after the fact was a freebie, but not in this situation.

Were you given a heads-up? Did it just, finally arrive?

Well, No and Yes, Initially got an email heads from FedEx, on 12/26, and they said it would arrive by 12/30/2024. It did not indicate Ford in the message, by it was from Dearborn, Mi, so my fingers were crossed. Then I got multiple text messages from FedEx and they said it would arrive 12/28, then delayed to 12/29 and it did arrive, 1 day before the FedEx email.

...AND then, this afternoon (01/02/2025, 2:09 PM), I got an email from Ford, subject: "We've shipped your adapter" - The "Track page" links goes to FedEx and it says: "Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later." - SO, Yes, Ford gave me a heads up, but, unlike their OTA updates, I received the delivery BEFORE being advised it was coming

Well, I too have an update as of 6:13 PM EST:

And when I click on the FedEx tracking link:
"Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later."

Ok...Just a quick reality check. Looking back at this thread from the beginning of October with the order number people have provided, Ford has been shipping about 7,800 adapters a month. Since some were recalled and replaced as a priority, this number may be a bit higher for total volume and hopefully everyone with a bad adapter has gotten theirs already. Also, this 7,800 adapters a month is a significant increase over time as since March 1st, Ford has only shipped about 4,200/month.

That said, the latest number revealed is John Becker's 90042206 shipped on 1/1/25.

My August 4th 2024 order number is 901312xx, so with a 89k delta. It's reasonable to expect that I have ~11 months to wait until mine ships. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if there is a volume increase coming out of Ford, but I certainly won't be holding my breath as the end of each month comes.

Absolutely unacceptable!! I think my original ship date was June. Then August. Then October. Then November. Then December now January. WTF. if I knew it was going to take this long I’d have just bought one. My trucks got 59,000 miles already and those Tesla chargers would help a lot How long is Ford going to string us along??????

I feel your pain. I have an adapter that I can't use d due to it being recalled. I

ordered at 9 am on the first day it was announced. I was about the 5000th order placed that day. I received a defective adapter and still haven't received the replacement.
