I think a larger percentage of the dealers are not in favor of EVs.
That‘s my sense I got from the comments made by the fleet manager at a large Tampa dealership when I picked up my Diesel F-450 Platinum a few months ago. It seems like it was reluctance due to political leaning. What a a shame.

I just received my adapter last month. I had an order number around 5000. I ordered the first day within hours of ordering opening up.

Just got this promo email from Ford mentioning the imaginary (when I get one I'll believe in them) Fast Charging Adapter (emphasis added with bold/underlining):

Title of the email: "Reimagine your summer road trip with an EV"

For me, if the schedule holds, it'll be an imaginary Fall road trip.

"Our big trailer trip in our F‑150 ® Lightning ® truck was made so much easier this year using the Fast Charging Adapter Ford sent us, providing access to Tesla Superchargers along the way. In fact, half of our charging was at Tesla Superchargers. This allowed us to plan routes that would not have been practical last year."

I had someone accuse me of soaking up all the power and causing their cars to charge slow. She told me I wasn't allowed to be there and I told her to "Call Elon".

Ha ha, I gotta use that one!
