Hi all,
I just did a CCS Combo 2 retrofit on my 2017 Model S 100D.
I requested the retrofit vie the phone APP, in a few days got I got a pro-forma invoice for the job: total cost (including VAT) CHF 300,00.
Approved it, and a few days later got a call from Gianni, my local ranger, to confirm a meeting at my office place for Friday 9th Oct.
Gianni is the BEST ranger ever, always competent and kind; I already received his services 3 times in the past, and I’m 100% satisfied.
Upon arrival, he disconnected the main battery, installed a super-cool light over the rear seats, and removed the rear couch.
Then he installed a small electronic PCB and connected it through a new cabling to the battery (no pictures unfortunately, ranger asked not to take them).
Then he repositioned rear couch, removed light and reconnected main battery. Immediately after the car restarted he connected his laptop to the MCU, installed a new software version and staged the update.
Total job took less than 1 hour.
I already tested the new CCS Combo 2 connector at a supercharger, and it works perfectly. Only care is to first attach connector to the car, and then connect the charging cable. Remember to remove connector from cable after charging.
Overall, I am very satisfied by this retrofit for both the functionality, the cost and the marvellous service from Gianni the ranger.
