Got smarter and checked my delivery as by June for 2/29/24 order which leaves me optimistic and hoping the adapter will work with 24 Lyriq . The Ford and GM charging cables are interchangable so maybe Lucky ?

I believe your GM will require a software update in order to make the handshake 🫱‍🫲 in order to use the adapter to charge it at a Tesla Supercharger

Just a few observations about the reservation numbers;

Tesla/Ford will be shipping out about 8 to 10k adapters a month.

April only has 1300 reservations so either the ramp up in April is going to be very slow or shipping won’t start until the last week of April.

If all these free adopters for all the different manufacturers have to come from Tesla then some people are going to be waiting years unless Tesla seriously ramps up production.

I was able to reserve on the first day and my reservation number is 4k something with a May ship date but, if I was ordering today and knew I had to wait at least six months, I would also order an A2Z adapter and just plan to sell it when the free adapter arrived.

That’s what I’m doing. I have a road trip in mid-April and having access to Tesla will make things so much easier so I’ve ordered one from A2Z. I only hope it arrives in time.

Email A2Z - they respond quickly.

Same day response for me and they even offer expedited UPS shipping for overnight delivery for an extra charge.

Quick and dirty - from the 36 pages of the original order thread. All of the data is from there. Some people estimated their order number (didn't want to give all the digits) so I estimated by 50 or so Likley what it might have been based on what was noted. Some didn't give an order number but gave their estimated delivery.

If you want to help make the data better post your order number and est shipping and I'll keep this updated every few days.

There are a couple of orders that show Shipping in July 2024 before some June orders, it looks like both those users may be Canadian, but I had not been tracking the location of users. So our Canada friends may have a slight delay even based on their order time or Ford just believes getting through customs or delivery from Ford Canada could take a bit longer.

If you don't want your data included, I pulled it from another thread or this one, but will be happy to remove. Let me know.

Update info: shipping May 24.
Ordered 2/29 approximately 9:30 CST

Went to the A2Z website today to get an update on my 3/4 order. Received a email reply a few hours later, great news. Shipping Monday with another email to come with tracking information. I’m impressed with the customer service.

@Texas Dan
why do you think Tesla can’t manufacture?

didn’t they sell a million electric vehicles last year?

if Apple can produce what, 70 million phones a year, why can’t another company produce and most likely additional 3rd parties will enter the market
but most manufacturers in 2025 will be producing nacs vehicles.

assumes everyone wants to charge at a Tesla charge station, also it’s not like the market is being flooded with ccs vehicle.

I think it’s more about managing the rollout. They need to leave manufacturing capacity to accommodate all the other manufactures, meanwhile not allow too many people so their network fails.

I’d imagine they want to allow time to rollout V4s, remove more bollards, and monitor usage to ensure the network performance is still acceptable.

Then, I’m willing to bet once everyone is on. Tesla will pull the marketing lever and bring back non transferable free supercharging for only their cars, they can even allow advanced spot/stall reservations for only Tesla vehicles.

Just my speculative thoughts.

Tesla can manufacture. No argument here. But Ford and Tesla have proven lately that deadlines mean nothing to them. That's why, even with having a reservation in the first 300, I ordered a A2Z adaptor. I have a road trip in late April that I have done with the EA network, and it was a total SNAFU.
