Model S 2022 New Taillight Will NOT Retrofit - Just Confirmed Today :(
- Thread starter petershi24
- Start date
Its not the new quarter panel, its the wiring inside of the quarter panelWhats stopping you from getting a new quarter panel. Also until EPC updates with new quarter panel part probably best to take it with a grain of salt.
Sucks that we can't get CCS1 charging without the retrofit.
Rumor is that the actual quarter panel is different as well. (There was even a picture of a car with the new tail lights that showed gaps between the lights and the quarter panel, which could have been new lights with old quarter panel.)Its not the new quarter panel, its the wiring inside of the quarter panel
I thought for sure that would be the case. It’s also likely true for headlights.Its not the new quarter panel, its the wiring inside of the quarter panel
One way to confirm is looking if something is a new Rev on an existing Part number vs a new Part number in the Parts Catalogue. New Rev indicates backward compatible (replaces all previous revisions). New Part numbers are only compatible with specific build dates, Models or VINs.
My 22 Plaid went in for service today and the service adviser said the refreshed taillight cannot be retrofitted because the whole quarter panel is different. RIP
Why this Elon guy is doing this to me
I think that guy was talking out of his ass, the quarter panel is identical.

I REALLY doubt the quarter panel is new. If they changed anything with the stamping they would have changed the lift gate and gotten rid of the rear appliqué trim altogether. Think.
The wiring may be different. That doesn’t mean someone can’t come up with some sort of adapter to make it work. I remember some vendor made an adapter to retrofit the 2016 LED into the nosecone cars

Exactly. It’s not different. Until someone gets a hold of the new light we won’t know if it’s retrofittable.

Where are you getting this info from? The information screen shows CCS1 compatibility plus this guy has already confirmed it works. Tesla Model S With CCS1 Adapter: Almost As Fast As Supercharging?

Tail lights are nice, but the charge port door.... im not a fan.
Tail lights are OK but they aren't even animated, so not as tempting to retrofit even if that was possible. If the headlights are vastly superior, I'd be more interested in that.

Yes. I'm eagerly waiting on new headlight info. If compatible, I'll probably do it before next winter. If not... just add it to the list of upgrades to enjoy by the time I'm car shopping again.

Correct you are, it is the EVhub unit. Does seem pretty much the same physical size as the Tesla one though. Still think the Tesla CCS1 unit will fit the S.
Pretty sure the redesign was to make the door opening big enough for the European models that have dedicated CCS inlets which would not work on the existing design/size. One design across the world makes more economic sense. Just need to change the black plug insert section for US or Europe now that there is more room available like on the 3 and Y.

This does not surprise me. When images started popping up, I mentioned that the stamping and even the trunk might be different. Got laughed out of the room.
That said, I am not a huge fan on the taillights. I, like others, really wonder if the headlights are. But I imagine they are not going to be able to.
