The bundle runs $245, meaning the Tesla buyer could get the cord and connectors and still have $25 left over compared to the Ford unit - and possibly skip paying wads more cash to an electrician.Įven stranger, what appears to be the same FMC sold in the Ford Accessories store costs $470, not $500. Tesla, though, also sells an adapter bundle to fit seven additional plug types, from NEMA 5-20 to NEMA 6-50. Ford advises owners that don't have the proper outlet to "just contact a licensed electrician" or "reach out to preferred installer, Sunrun." The 20-foot-long Tesla mobile cord maxes out at the same 30 amps and comes with the same connectors.
The 20-foot-long FMC maxes out at 30 amps and comes with two plugs, a NEMA 5-15 plug for the usual 120V outlet and a NEMA 14-50 plug for 240V outlets. Frankly, we don't understand why Ford would charge so much unless it's trying to get Mach-E buyers not to buy the FMC. The parallel is that Tesla's Mobile Connector was once standard equipment for the Model Y, but now costs $ 230.Īs you'll notice, the same process has resulted in two very different pecuniary outcomes - $500 vs. The Ford Mobile Charger (FMC) used to be included with the Mach-E, it is now $500. In following Tesla's move to cut prices, Ford also followed Tesla's move to charge for what was once standard equipment. Those lower MSRPs were countered by revised pricing for some features like BlueCruise, which increased threefold for subscribers renewing the hands-free driving tech. The headline changes were the new battery chemistry with improved range and charging, more powerful AWD trims, and lower prices.
There were more changes in the small print of Ford's announced updates to the 2023.5 Mustang Mach-E.
