Even so, I feel like it would have been easier to have just pulled up normally, close to the tower instead of doing that lol

I am 7196 with an estimated May arrival. By the way, we live in Abilene, Texas and we’re planning to drive to Lubbock. There is a virtually no charging on the way up and none in Lubbock. I called the Ford dealer and he said they stopped selling Lightnings because of the lack of charging

Of course, there are Tesla chargers, and that will change the situation for us, but as of now we’ll take the car

We are considering a June trip of St Louis to San Antonio with stops in OKC, Fort Worth and Waco. The charge adapter is the only way we will consider taking the truck. Supposed to get it in May but will see.

Also have a trip to Ames, Iowa to get the daughter home from college at beginning of May. It’s doable (but painful) with current charging options but getting access to the Mt Pleasant supercharger is game changing in terms of speed / direct routing. This one is why I’m hoping for early delivery.

Check out plugshare, there are 3 car dealers in Lubbock that have CCS chargers, they may not be really fast, but they seem to work. Obv won't be an issue once you have the tesla adapter

I would love to buy the FORD adapter from someone who does not need it or has a spare.

I picked up a third party adapter from A2Z using the FORD coupon to save some money but would like to have the FORD one to use as primary while A2Z is my backup.

Feel free to send me a DM if you're interested in selling your OEM adapter.

I don't know about options in Oklahoma, but DFW has a Magic-dock and plenty of other non-Tesla DCFC options. Also, good EA stations in Waco (I hit 180 kW) and Round Rock.

It seems about half the time I have stopped at Waco or Round Rock, there may be a wait. Checking right now in the app, Waco has 1/6 available and Round 4/10. But that is sometimes misleading.
OTOH for Tesla SC, the Bucky's in Temple has 32/48 available, Jarrell 7/8 and Abbott 5/8. I like those odds better. Plus EA is $0.56/kWh and Tesla 0.42/kWh.

Through OK look up Francis Energy Charging. Ford just added them to the network late last year, but I've not tested to see if that works, not sure I would depend on it anyway. Sign up for an account and get their RFID card - the cc reader doesn't work on their stations.

We have EA in Denton and Waco, but not sure I would depend on them either around the DFW metro area. We have one Magic Dock SC in the metro area. You show a May delivery for your adapter, with that you should have smooth sailing with the Superchargers.

Updates from all of the Early risers with those first 1000 orders and the lucky few hundred in the high 7000's. I'm guessing this shipment must have had about 1400 adapters in it. We are missing some data in the 935-1236 range, so guessing the first 1100 (someone reported a FB post from 1104 or something like that) orders and I'm going to guess 300 were shipped to those 7XXX orders. All of that based on my SWAG estimates based on the data we have from this site.

So the pressure is on @kab to keep us updated when shipping information shows up, or the adapter, which ever is first.

For others that have received your adapter, please keep posting your arrival dates if you will, I'll keep updating and filling in the holes.

Don’t worry, I will post here as soon as ANYTHING happens for my #1235

The #1019 being reported on FB as delivered on 4/9 is encouraging, but nothing for me to update yet

I’ve checked FedEx and my porch dozens of times every day

 

[MM in SouthTX]

I know.
I’m the lowest 4-digit order number on the spreadsheeet

I'm one place above the group that got theirs out of order. Hoping to add my name to the list.
