I was able to get the CCS adapter into my shopping cart on the Tesla shop website yesterday, but couldn't check out. Turns out their website was just broken.
Still waiting for "Late 2023" to come...

CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)
- Thread starter Dirtman16
- Start date
Maybe they meant to say that the retrofit will be late for 2023.24 days left
Technically it only says to check for availability in late 2023, not that it was expected to be available in late 2023.
Pretty much, they've already changed the date several times so not like it would be shocking to change again.
Tesla updated their site! It’s a Christmas miracle! Oh wait… 
NOTE: FOR MODEL 3 AND MODEL Y VEHICLES REQUIRING A RETROFIT, PLEASE CHECK BACK IN JANUARY 2024 FOR AVAILABILITY
I have to say that I saw it coming though. I have been waiting since 2022!

As we come to the end of January, I’d like to take bets of what the next message in the website will say:
A) Available in February
B) Available in late 2025
C) Available right after we start making the roadster (AKA never)
D) We pretended that we were going to make the retrofit but decided not to

I had the retrofit done for my 2017 S yesterday via mobile service. The tech strangely tried to talk me out of it before starting. Saying how I could save myself $500 since everything is switching to "the Tesla connector" anyway. I mentioned how, at least as of now, even if non-Tesla chargers have the NACS connector they'd still require CCS to communicate but he seemed confused lol.

Can’t live without it if you want to travel in south east New Mexico or parts of southern Colorado like up to Durango and Ouray.
I bought the part last Summer and installed it myself last Summer in my 2021 Y. Then I was able to visit Ouray and Carlsbad from Santa Fe.
Installation took a couple hours. The board was easy. It’s the disassembly and reassembly of the car parts to access the board that takes time.

Easier to just change 2024 to 2025.
I saw that some existing EVgo chargers come with Tesla connectors and make no mention of CCS compatibility being required, but they limit charging speeds to 50kW.
In contrast, they advertise up to 250kW using their CCS connectors and a CCS-to-Tesla adapter, but they’re careful to state that you have to check vehicle compatibility first.
I wonder if they could be mimicking a Chademo adapter through their Tesla connectors to get that 50kW even on non-CCS compatible Teslas?

EVGo is using a legacy chademo adapter, hence the 50kw limit. This is not a nacs implementation

The chademo (left) is daisy chained to the Tesla connection (middle, red)
Note: For Model 3 and Model Y vehicles requiring a retrofit, please check back in January 2024 for availability.
