Apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find any relevant threads. I am looking to either peel back or remove the rear/trunk trim on the driver's side so that I can potentially swap out the ECU.
Inspired by this thread, it seems like the ECU is relatively easy to access on a Model 3, but I have yet to find any guide on how to get to it on a Y. The closest I can find are videos about how to swap out the tail lights, but those videos only peel back the trim enough to stick a wrench in to loosen the bolts that hold the lights on, not remove the panel (or at least peel it back) enough to easily access the ECU.
My Sept 2021 MYP has the cut-down ECU without CCS support. It appears that the proper ECU with CCS support is available from Tesla for $150ish and it should be a drop-in swap (though, would have to reflash the firmware, which should be possible in service mode, or wait until the next software update is available).
Has anyone else done this on their summer 2021 Y's that came without CCS support? I realize I'm jumping the gun since the official adapter isn't for sale in the US yet, but it would be nice to have it enabled for when it does go on sale.
