FORD ALERTS CUSTOMERS OF ADDITIONAL TESLA NACS ADAPTER DELAYS

EV Channels Review

The video addresses the significant delays customers are experiencing in receiving NACS to CCS1 adapters from Ford, a situation mirrored by other manufacturers like Rivian. The host explains that these delays stem from Tesla's inability to produce adapters quickly enough, exacerbated by Tesla's earlier layoffs of its Supercharger team. While Ford and Rivian initially offered free adapters with deadlines, Ford has extended its ordering window to August 31st due to ongoing supply constraints, acknowledging customer frustration. The video clarifies that only V3 Superchargers (and not all of them) are compatible, and Magic Dock locations work with any EV. It also touches upon the upcoming transition to native NACS ports on new EVs from 2025 onwards and the challenges with third-party adapters, which Tesla does not officially authorize. The host expresses hope for clearer timelines from Ford and Tesla soon.
