It is getting close the the end of the year. Not much time for prophesy of “retrofit for older cars in 2023” to be fulfilled. I hope Tesla gets around to getting this done in 2024.

OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

The promise was in "Elon Time", so it can be extended freely.
I don't think Tesla ever said that they would “retrofit for older cars in 2023”. Like what it currently says:
It is pretty late in 2023, and there is still no availability estimate. So, I assume they will update the message soon. Hopefully the next update will have more details, or just say it is available to order now. (Especially given that it sounds like they are opening the Supercharger network up to NACS partners starting in February.)

I think pretty soon Tesla is going to have to add an option to upgrade without including the adapter, to allow non-CCS compatible cars to work with non-Tesla fast DC chargers with NACS connectors. They could call it something like full NACS compatibility upgrade.
I suppose they could still force the inclusion of the CCS1 adapter with all upgrades, to maintain a single price, but that would be contrary to their desire to eventually have NACS used on all EVSE and DC chargers in North America.
I didn’t mean to imply that. Neither Tesla nor Elon made any such “promise” that I am aware of.
The “retrofit coming in 2023” comes straight from the title of this thread. Seemed like a likely prediction at the time.

Not really.
I dont read it any different than:
===========================
"Thanks for asking. We will let you know when / if this ever becomes available. Dont bother asking us further because we dont have any more information about that timeframe than you do".

No, I read it as they'll make a a general announcement, probably through the app once they sort it out.

After waiting all this time for them to develop the CCS upgrade for older Model 3s I finally broke down and bought an old X, getting THAT upgraded to CCS this week by Mobile Tech.

I hope you have a V3 90 kWh battery in your X and not a V1 or V2.
P90D Battery Pack
I have read a few threads explaining the situation with the 90 packs. I also read somewhere where certain vin ranges should have a certain battery pack revision code (A, B, C etc...) and certain revisions don't have major degradation and charging issues. Recently i have noticed my charge rate...

Doubtful, it's early 2016, it has Ludicrous Mode, it's got a nice charge curve that maxes around 130kW with rated range of 230 miles. Seems to stay under 110° at least so far, it's winter
Reading the thread you sent:

I drive in Chill so probably never gonna touch the max draw of the battery

OR you could DIY it like I did and have it today (well, have it the day your bundle of wires arrives from eBay)
