New Ford Charging Adaptor From TESLA Compared to Orginal

On the left is the orginal and on the right is the new one.

The new replacement adapter on the right is not made by Tesla. Made by Lectron.

I got the bigger one too. But I don’t judge those who have the short fat one.

I was not part of the free adapter crowd, which is fine; I had a road trip coming up and it seemed like a toss-up between A2Z and Lectron. I went with Lectron about 3 weeks before Ford announced the new adapters (which, for the record, always show on their website as sold out) and paid about $200 for it and it’s worked flawlessly. If I ever have a problem, I’d love for Ford to tell me that their logo emblazoned on the side of a Lectron adapter somehow would have made a difference in outcome.

Different design...

Is it though? Everything I’ve seen leads me to believe that it’s a rebranded Lectron adapter. Always happy to admit when I’m wrong, but what’s different between the two?

my replacement was the OG tesla design.

Ford had them make a few tweaks to the existing design. @tommolog did a good comparison

I am part of the "Free" adapter crowd, in fact real new to EV with my 2923 Lightening. I have been in a waiting list since August, 2024 and it looks like at least 4-5 more months before I receive my adapter. Ford says it might void my warranty if I buy something else. It's really caused me not to be able to use my truck as lack of non Tesla charging stations. Is there an approved adapter that I can order?
Thanks

How advanced are the 2923 model year trucks? Lots of improvements I imagine

Sorry, I could not resist. And I am a little jealous. I mean I thought I was an early adopter but I guess not

I got my replacement A2Z adapter and it is also larger than the original.

Where did you get your adapter? Is anyone selling their old?

 

[Dan C]

A2Z sent jt as the old one was recalled

I have the Lectron one, but at a recent stop I found that some of the newer fast Tesla chargers (250 KW) have built-in adapters. It's not obvious - you have to push the connector up into the charger to release it.
