I find it frustrating that Model 3s shipped both before and after mine have had CCS support, but mine didn't- and I will have to pay to get it.
I rescheduled my mobile appointment to a Service Center visit at the new Ann Arbor MI location. I was in and out in about two hours, Best of all, my bill was $307 due to some mix up. 
I headed straight to a Shell branded CCS charger and everything worked flawlessly.

Same situation, might thought is to at least ask if they'll comp it it considering the weird gap.
Yeah I was thinking about that too, seems relatively easy but I don't know about the warrantyI've got the adapter but maybe don't want to wait until H2 for Tesla to make the retrofit available for Model Ys.
How to enable CCS1 adapter/NACS support on older Model 3/Ys now without waiting for Tesla
In order to use non-Tesla DC fast chargers from networks such as Electrify America or ChargePoint, your older Model 3/Y will still need to have CCS enabled (i.e. DIY retrofit) regardless if the plug is NACS or CCS1. Only difference is the CCS1 Adapter is not needed if it is a NACS plug. This...www.2muchsun.com
I came across this DIY. Anyone know for sure if installing myself will *not* violate the warranty?
Tesla never advertised the capability, most likely because they knew the supply chain was fragile. They, most likely, won't comp it.

Just had mine done by a mobile ranger. No deal for me - $477 with tax. But in under an hour in time, in my garage, versus driving 1.5 hours each way to get to my nearest SC. Also pretty impressed with the build quality of the adapter. Expected a cheap piece of plastic. It's hefty...I rescheduled my mobile appointment to a Service Center visit at the new Ann Arbor MI location. I was in and out in about two hours, Best of all, my bill was $307 due to some mix up.

Nope. They removed the geo-fence restriction a while back.

I tested mine today - did some preconditioning (10 minute drive). Pulled into the SuC stall with 18% SOC and with it being 34F outside. Within about 5 minutes I was pulling 98kW. Disconnected then moved over to the EA stall right next to the Tesla stalls (they are side by side here at the Meijer in Bay City, MI). Plugged in and within 30 seconds was pulling 98kW from a 150kW EA unit. And even better, I wasn't even charged for the short time (couple minutes) I spent at their station, as I moved back to the SuC to finish my charging needs (lifetime free charging).
So, going the CCS adapter route appears to give identical performance, at least with my one test.
I'd like to add something that may help people out there. Now, you can search for Tesla CSS chargers from Plugshare. I just checked their new category map page: Tesla CCS Locations

Why would they have a 'separate' category? I just added CCS as an acceptable/custom plug type. Any CCS fast charger should work...

CSS is cascading style sheets--a typo I often make myself.

In any case, I think it's cool PlugShare is showing Tesla superchargers with CCS adapters built in--the Magic Dock.

Oh, now I see what you are saying - Supercharger locations that have the MagicDock. Useless for a Tesla vehicle but good to know for other DCFC CCS vehicles...
