What government bodies should we be filing complaints with? NHTSA? States' AG?

That's fine for casual trips but not for people like me who are min/max-ing our times down to the minute because we travel for work.

Same contractor. Only a matter of time until this site is ripped up and they try again. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7549521/

Countdown until this happens here https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7549521/ Same contractor did this install. It will be no surprise when they have to come rip this site up and try again.

Yep, found one in Wisconsin and did a thousand miles sprint to go get it in one day. Slapped it in, and I'm good now.

My onboard charger is dead. I want another one ASAP. I am willing to drive up to 1000 miles from Ohio immediately to pick up. I will literally leave right now if you say you have one that is known working. I want to beat the 10 day shipping time from CA.

The photos I've seen of the turnpike sites have Ponchartrain trailers.

Correct, they say they have no way not to include it. I believe them, and don't blame the people at the shop, I'm sure it's just an oversight on a corporate level.

Aaaand I'm back to going to bootleg. They want me to buy the adapter twice. Not happening.

I am in the camp of should have already done the bootleg retrofit. Not being able to access CCS on my S has been a major QOL issue and I'm not willing to wait a day longer. That being said it looks like I'll be able to get one shipped from a Tesla location a couple states away.

I already own the CCS adapter so the web page and app won't let me pay for the full $450 kit, as it seems to know I already have it. That might be part of the problem, that there's no way for people who pre-bought the adapter to actually order it retrofit.

I have an S and yes, I know someone who can make the config change

As far as I can tell, none or very few of the myriad of Superchargers installed in Ohio by Pontchartrain Partners, LLC have opened. I would imagine that there are going to be contract disputes, and it might drag on for months or longer trying to get them to correct their work across these...

They cancel it every time I try to schedule. I want the part number so I can call or show up at a service center in a different city and try to just get it over the counter like some others have. I have no problem doing the retrofit myself.
