It isn't on Tesla's website anymore. I believe they have discontinued sales in North America of the adapter. I only see it on Tesla Australia where it does state that it is not compatible with the 3 or Y. But a whole other market / continent, so I wouldn't consider that applicable.

Initially, Model 3 was NOT CHAdeMO capable. There was a software update released somewhere around mid-2019 that enabled use of the CHAdeMO adapter. Since then, as far as I know, CHAdeMO support has been provided for the Model 3. I've not heard anything changing about this. I last charged my 2018 LR RWD 11 days ago using my CHAdeMO adapter. My car is running 2022.12.3.2.
What I have noticed with the CHAdeMO adapter is that some stations are sensitive to the way you connect things up. What I'm doing now seems to work wherever I go:

- Plug the CHAdeMO adapter into the car's charge port
- Plug the CHAdeMO handle into the adapter
- Start the charge session
Yeah, a few things I remember off the top of my head. As @RayK mentioned, originally when the Model 3 came out in North America, the existing CHAdeMO adapters didn't work, and it was quite a while later that they did a software update to the cars that enabled it to work.
I don't think the European CHAdeMO adapters ever worked on the 3 and Y. I don't know why.
I did see rumor in some other thread that a very recent software update broke compatibility with the CHAdeMO adapters for no good reason. So the service person may be correct about how it is now, but this would be really really dumb for them to break it like this after it has worked for the last few years.
