CH09 Option Code - Has anyone figured out exactly what it means?

Maybe it's the new damping suspension

May be a charging option. CH04 in my 2017 AP2.0 75D is High Amperage Charger.

Yes CH codes have been charging codes. Isn't CH07 the 40A on board charging code for the 3? Funny that ch08 is the image filename (not option code) for the Chinese dual charge port.

Teardowns have shown that the 3 had thicker internal DC supercharging cables than the S/X. I wonder if those cables on the S/X would change before new S/X battery upgrades that could reach v3 supercharging maximum rates.

I'd guess it's probably the V3 supercharging rate.

Since the original post was from the UK, maybe CCS and v3?

I also have the CH09 option code (Finland) but it will still take around 2 months for my S to arrive. Would be interested in hearing whether new orders in the USA have this code or whether it's specific for Europe. If it's limited to Europe, I would also guess CSS.

CH09 is the new charging controller that can speak CCS. So you only need the adapter to connect to a CCS charger, no other modification needed on the car.

Tesla announced that
“All Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles produced after May 1, 2019 have the technical capability to charge at CCS Combo 2 charging sites with the use of a CCS Combo 2 adapter.”

My Model S was produced in the first half of April but has the CH09 option code. So I hope that you are right and I don't need the CCS retrofit but Tesla's announcement makes it seem like I do. The car is still on a ship to Europe.

May 2019 Tesla model S/X has the CH05 code for 48 amp charger. Not sure about what CH09. the older codes are CH04
