Yeah so for anyone reading this, scratch that whole second paragraph. Only the busbar inspection was needed for fast charging. I got confused between the 4 different invoices Tesla sent me.

Oh gosh...you're completely right...what a nightmare. They totally added the harness inspection back (see screenshot), but I guess they removed it - a second time - in the end. I'm blind and thought the "Ski - Center Rail - HV Battery" entry was the second fast charge inspection, because that's...

I did "Other - Something Else" and explained in the description that I wanted a fast charging safety inspection. Don't worry about the battery percentage. They told me it would be 24 hours, but it ended up being 3 weeks because they had a lot of inspections come in at once (or so they said).

Hey guys, so Tesla held my car for 3 weeks because they had "an influx of inspections" and it was over the holidays (thankfully they gave me a loaner Model 3 after a week)...then I got lazy and then I forgot to report back. Good news though: I now have supercharging! In the end, they went back...

Good news - I do not actually need two fast charging inspections. 😂 Tesla service messaged me saying "please excuse the previous message, I have updated the inspections based on the charging system hardware installed in your vehicle". Now I have an estimate for a single "Busbar Charge Port...

Wow, $175 for a single FC inspection is a lot cheaper. My car is a 2021 Model 3, so that could explain the difference. I just went to Tesla. I rescheduled for later this month as I did not realize it was going to be two full service days, and since they don't work on weekends it wouldn't be...

I have a new estimate from Tesla. Now they are charging me for a Fast Charging inspection - which I guess is two parts: "Busbar Charge Port Fast Charging" and "Harness Charge Port Fast Charging". $1433 for the whole process; $1537 with tax. Ugh, that is not cheap. At least I'll get all the...

Indeed. After reading @JollyBadger's experience (linked) of having supercharging temporarily enabled with only the HV inspection and then disabled again, I'm thinking my Tesla technician might be right. Either it was going to be a single inspection and now they are going back on that to make it...

Sorry to hear that. I was just informed by the service technician that I will need to have two inspections to have supercharging enabled on my salvaged Model 3. I thought I was getting ripped off after reading some comments here that only one high voltage inspection is needed, but after hearing...

I strangely got some conflicting information from the Tesla service technician. He says it's a "two step process" to enable supercharging (see first screenshot). He then said he will "send over the estimate for the first inspection", to which I asked whether there are actually two separate...
