Works great. If you are handy and have a #1 phillips screw driver it takes about half an hour to do the swap. It took me less than an hour while taking photos and making bad videos. But it is really just unclipping the two sides, removing 4 screws and lifting the old one out. Then vacuum. Then press in the EVamped unit. I'll make another post with photos of the process.

1st, remove the two screws from above the USB ports.
Then pop off the sides of the console. Each side is held on with (supposedly) 7 clips. Just push the top out and use a screw driver to pry the bottoms ones out.
Then remove the screw with the big washer from each side (at the top, just left of center)
Then "gently" shove the unit forward until you have some space at the back and lift it out, back edge first. Be careful not to scrape the arm rest.
Then you vacuum, and in my case, clean out dropped parking tags from previous owner. Then just press-fit the EVamped unit into place pushing down and forward to clear the power port.
This is the "Low" unit that sits below the USB and 12V. They also have a "Tall" unit that covers them. Oh, and I got the USB ports as an option.

This is what I ended up doing to install a 12V outlet in the console for the rear seat. In the end I didn't have to remove the entire console to run the wires.

Just order the EVamped.com “Ludicrous” model console. It has LED color-selectable lights in the cup holders. I just like the inside of my car Dark so I didn’t want more lights.

I have a RHD Model S and can’t get past the ‘shove it forward’ stage. There is no space between the unit and the front of the yacht floor, on the right hand side. Oddly, on the left hand side there is enough space to fit a few fingers between unit and vehicle, but the right side is nearly flush. The unit doesn’t appear to be skewed. Has anyone seen this before?
I have a "basic" 2016 (facelift) S75 with AP1 (no pano roof, 2nd gen leather seats), and I do not see these screws. Could there be a design modification that did away with those screws?
Are you sure? You have to almost stand on your head to see them. Or lay on the seat so you face is wayyy down there.
Clear pictures are in this post Has anyone figured out how to remove the Premium Center Console?
That being said, I haven’t seen a 2016.
