Plus, an early batch of the adapters made by Tesla turned out to be faulty, with Ford notifying its EV owners to stop using them until they got a replacement.

Tesla manufacturing shoddy goods? What a surprise.

« Christopher Maiwald, the CEO and founder of charging equipment maker Lectron, told InsideEVs that the adapters are made in China. The U.S. has slapped 104% tariffs on all Chinese goods whereas China has retaliated with 84% tariffs on American imports. Lectron plans to move some production to Vietnam by Q3, but the Trump administration has imposed a 46% tariff on Vietnam, too. »
