So, I purchased a Lectron supercharger adapter. My Ford is updated to the latest software version, so the superchargers work with my car. I have both a Tesla and a Ford Pass account.
All good until now!
I went to test the adapter. I activated my Tesla charger session then plugged the adapter into the supercharger cable and the vehicle.
Again, it's all good!
After 2 minutes since the app began to start, I got an alarm telling me the car wasn't plugged in. Even my charger light showed it was connected.
I tried other superchargers, and it happened the same. Lectron told me to try the Ford app (it costs more to charge on the supercharger network).
This is what I am going to do.
Until then, do you have any thoughts about this situation? Thanks!
 
Hey, give plug & charge a shot first as a test, and make sure you’ve got a valid credit card linked in both your Tesla and Ford apps since that could mess with the charging.
 
Sir, it is because of the cable. It is too short, and if you pull it into the charger it will create some side tension on the cable at the adapter. Try to go for those chargers with lengthier charging cables.
