The Ford cars WILL NOT have 2-ports built into them, there will be an available adapter that will fit over existing cable ends that allow the use of either a Tesla charger or another brand. Trust me, YOU WILL WANT TO USE THE TESLA CHARGER. Tesla is being playing nice here and helping Ford. The FORD vehicles starting in 2024 will be built with the TESLA type port built into them, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? This lady for Yahoo (Julie I think her name is)-(on the left) gets almost everything she ever says about Tesla completely wrong. Yahoo is so consistently negative towards Tesla but maybe that will change if Tesla actually starts paying them some advertising revenue. SAD but TRUE!!
Cable length is still an issue. Will an F150 Lightning have to block two spaces (or more) at the charger just to get it plugged in? Might have to have those “adapters” also be extension cords.
The park lines at a Tesla charger look like the same size as the ones at home depot
The big picture is others will jump on board and Tesla’s chargers will dominate.
Tesla already was planning to build more chargers and open many up to all brands in order to rexeive government payouts.
This partnership expands Ford’s access to Super Chargers over what other brands will have but also important is that Tesla’s software will be integrated into Ford’s app making it easy to use.
Additionally…expect more from this partnership…e.g. Ford licensing Tesla’s FSD.
Makes 100% sense. NACS is a far superior changing standard and much more scalable. The Supercharger Network is also way more reliable than ChargePoint or Electrify America, both of which are jokes.
My wife’s friend is therefore buying a Ford Mach-e SUV instead of the Tesla Model Y due to the Ford has better after-purchase service and better build quality. I currently own a Model X and Tesla service centers which I have visited have been very busy and understaffed. Now, the field is leveled as far as charging on-the-go is concerned between Ford and Tesla. I bet more people will start to look else where for their electric car purchases due to charging (away from home) is no longer an issue. Tesla may lose some car sales. Also, Ford really does have better quality. My wife rejected her Model Y at delivery which was shipped directly to our home due to panel gaps at multiple highly visible areas of the car body. She went with a Model 3 later as that one happened to be at the showroom and was for sale so that we checked all the panel gap problems, and interior fit-and-finish problems. Ford definitely has better quality control since Tesla seems to prioritize delivering cars in as big amounts as possible per quarter at the expense of great quality control.
When I look at a cars build quality I look at everything you can’t see from the outside or sitting inside. From the research I’ve done, Teslas use the highest quality hardware out there from silicone carbide chips to 98% electric motors, even the APUs they have running their hardware is RDNA2.
My brother got a model s, absolutely no problems but I don’t think he brothered looking for panel gaps or cared since that’s pretty minor. No one was checking for panel gaps before Tesla.
I however have heard a lot about quality problems with ford, GM is even worse, they have recalled every electric car they have ever made over hardware issues.
When a Tesla catches fire it’s all over the news and people demand recalls, when ford recalls 600,000 vehicle over 20 spontaneous fires in their ICE cars over 2 years the next day after a Tesla fire, no one even talks about it.
If you plan to keep an EV for a long time, Tesla’s LFP batteries have the least degradation over time out of any other pack I’ve seen.
*Electric cars will very soon end.* Not at all practical.
Historic moment for Tesla and Ford partnership. Game changer for supercharging!
This is truly a game changer. It’s great that both Ford and Tesla come together and this will be beneficial to EV consumers. The only concern I have is that Tesla superchargers network might become more crowded and we all have to wait and circle more. I hope Tesla already has some plan to mitigate those concerns.
The makers of the gay Raptor and the explosive Pinto join up with the highly combustible Tesla🤡
Re: Supercharger Demand Mitigation. Most “complainers” are newbies who haven’t learned how to use Navigation’s Supercharger availability & pricing functions, plus automatic billing, along with 99% uptimes, that will pleasantly surprise Ford users unaccustomed to “by design” seamless operations.
VW will be last to accept NACS -here’s why. Re: CCS Repudiation. Any computer programmer can reverse engineer CCS back to its original requirements specs & conclude that VW made it “born brain dead” to be the exact opposite of what would become known as NACS, just to cynically spite Diesel Gate sanctions & intentionally deter EV adoption. Regardless, each use will expose previous CCS users to NACS’ diametrically opposed superiority, making them rue the day they were hoodwinked into buying into the clunky CCS-sphere.
