I understand the adapter is behind the plug, but is this making it fast charging? Because more power and amps does not equal fast chargingThe adapter is behind the plug.

We are replacing Tesla's old USB-A charger with Tesla's new usb-c charger. I don't know if there is a precise definition or line between "fast" and "slow".
The power output of Tesla's new usb-c plug is 27W (9V x 3A = 27W). The power output of the old usb-a plug was 10W (5V x 2A = 10W)
27W is pretty fast for a cell phone, but a laptop will probably still complain that it is too low power for full charge speed.
Only reason I ask was because for my wireless charger to work as quick charge I have to use a quick charge 12v adapter and run it to the front where the wireless charger is.
I do understand that this modification you guys are doing will still charge faster though.
Hey that looks familiar!Got my adapters! Thanks for the quick shipping! Now to order the rest of the stuff....

Yes, the power connector was changed on both the front and back USB ports. So each upgrade requires 1 adapter.sorry mate. so i need to order TWO of your adapters for the front and back yes?
I have had good luck submitting a service request via the app and just say in the notes. "Purchase parts: xxxxxxxx, yyyyyyyyyyy, zzzzzzzzzz".I emailed my Service center using the service email on Tesla.com asking for them to order the 4 part numbers. Haven't heard anything. Guess I'm going to need to call
This has worked very well for me also. My text messages are answered promptly, which is a *whole* lot better than telephone hell. Actually, my Tesla app notified me today that the part arrived at the service center. I paid the invoice, and then received a text message that it will be shipped to my home as requested. Seamless so far.I have had good luck submitting a service request via the app and just say in the notes. "Purchase parts: xxxxxxxx, yyyyyyyyyyy, zzzzzzzzzz".
I was advised this was the best way to get parts by a service tech when I showed up one day (a year ago) asking for parts that I assumed they would keep in stock (plastic clips). They didn't have the parts and told me to submit a service request in the app. I've done it several times since then and have always received a prompt response.

Geez, that's underwhelming. Bet he'll start unwrapping a few parts before he leaves the service center to go work for the day. But better than the poor service tech who came to replace my cellular module - he had the computer out (which takes a bit of work and a lot of pieces out) before he realized that someone in parts had specified a HW2.5 modem for a car with HW3 - and they're not compatible.Nice! I will try that after my existing service appointment is cleared out. Mobile service came to replace my tail light on Monday and when he unwrapped the new part, it was cracked. So I had to submit another service request for 2 weeks out
Here's a few more links with info on center console removal.Today I changed my front USB-Hub.
Everything works fine The same type of adapter can be used for the front Hub.
But it was definitely more difficult than the rear retrofit, as the center console has to be removed.
In the German forum I have published many more pictures and instructions. Maybe the photos will help you
