Franklin is NOT Live. Physically done, including a meter (powered up), but the site is not up. All pedestals dark (but numbered) and on the nav as temporary closure. Pavement work is also done. Perhaps the commissioning team found and issue. Soon….

True. Worked in the morning, but 12/11 evening and this morning 12/12 still "temporary closure".
Franklin is showing as live this morning. I'll probably run down there and charge at some point today/this evening. NOTE it was still showing temp closure in-car as of midnight last night as it had been since Saturday.

Anyone here know anything about this? Mach-E charging here in Franklin before it was officially live? I wonder if the Tesla commissioning team now has a Mach-E and they’re using it to test new sites?

UPDATED: Tesla Supercharger appears to successfully charge a Ford Mustang Mach-E
Update: The Ford Mustang Mach-E is not being charged, as the adapter being used is not compatible with Supercharging, only Destination Chargers. A Ford Mustang Mach-E appeared to be successfully charging at a Tesla Supercharger in Franklin, Massachusetts, over the weekend. While Tesla...

The Teslarati article has been updated to explain it's an L2 adapter for Tesla destination chargers and not compatible with L3/DCFC/Supercharging.
Basically, some shmoe posted a pointless picture to the interwebs in hope someone would pick it up and fall victim to their scam/joke, like Teslarati did.

That can't really happen. All L3/DC fast chargers (including Superchargers) provide DC, with the voltage and current limited under control of the car's BMS. Power doesn't turn on until the BMS says go. No handshake, no power.
Guilty... fell for it too. We use a Tesla-to-J1772 adapter at home ourselves to charge our Clarity off the Tesla wall connector. Should have considered this point.
But what about the statement that the car's charging active light was illuminated? Hard to tell (for me) in the picture since I've not seen a Mach-E charging personally.

Donno - I'm just going by the "Update: The Ford Mustang Mach-E is not being charged, as the adapter being used is not compatible with Supercharging, only Destination Chargers" that was added to the start of the article.
@Tdreamer, what adapter do you use? That could come in handy for the F-150 I have on order.

The Mustang was ICEing the charger. You can't do AC charging at a SuperCharger. The cord was plugged into the J1772 connector, the CCS connector is covered, this was either a stunt to get views or the quy didn't know that he couldn't charge at a Supercharger.
