Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach
Retrospective thread-summary pseudo-wiki for quick access: What is it? "Gee, I wish my Tesla, despite having access to the country's biggest quick charging network, could also charge on stations made for Other EVs too". Said no-one ever. Except... well, there are use cases for it. And with Tesla...

huh? i've seen literally zero people have an issue with this. it is a literal drop in replacement.
That's just what I read somewhere, so clearly it was internet FUD.
it does throw codes when you first swap the ECU, but that's why the software reinstall is necessary (and that immediately fixes everything). I wonder if that's what you're thinking of.
to anyone reading: don't let this deter you from doing the DIY retrofit. it works.

I have the bundle of wires and the ECU. Waited for a new update. Got that too.
Downloaded it, and was going to do the install the next day.
Pressed schedule install, so I had the download for later.
Then. …
It downloaded on its own overnight.
Now I have to wait again. Ugh.
Is there another way to re-install the software I have, so I don’t have to wait. ?
You can put the car into service mode and reinstall the last installed firmware.I have the bundle of wires and the ECU. Waited for a new update. Got that too.

Thanks.
Is there a link to a video or procedure for that someplace. I couldn’t really find one.

Put the car in service mode:
1) Open Settings from the car icon
2) Click on Software
3) Long Press on the Model 3 wording
4) Enter 'service' into the popup
5) Select Enable when prompted
6) Choose Software Reinstall from buttons
7) Choose Exit Service Mode button if you are not going to do this right now as driving is complicated by service mode

Thanks. And does it come out of service mode on its own after the reinstall, or is there a procedure to take it out ?
if I remember correctly it'll still be in service mode after the reinstall, you just press the exit service mode button that was mentioned earlier once it is finished.
I might be wrong on that though, I did mine a few months ago so I don't remember if it leaves service mode after the install or not.

All worked as above. New ECU installed with the bundle of wires.
The Service mode process worked great. No need to wait for another update.
I did disconnect the 12volt and high voltage battery though. Some said it wasn’t needed, but I’m not messing with that risk, since it’s easy to disconnect those.
CCS Enabled now !
My first try at using my Tesla CCS adapter:

2022 Model 3 SR LFP Supercharging speed
Not uncommon. I always wait for it to ramp to my expectation of the max (for me about 250kW below 30%, and a healthy ~150kW closer to 50%), before leaving the vehicle. I change stations frequently (less common at V3 for now though - they typically ramp fast and to the max - I basically avoid...

I let my charge go down to 16% in my 2019 M3P and did a test charge at a EA 150 KW CCS charger. I got a 138 KW charge rate at first. I went from 16% charge to 91% charge in 40 minutes. It was just a test.

It was $25. Seemed kinda pricey. No idea how much it would have been at a Supercharger.
