Question about the Model S charger

[Lloyd]

If I purchased a used Model S that had only one charger, is is possible to have a second charger added at a later date? It would seem this should be doable by just replacing the wiring from the connector to the charger and adding the second charger with wiring to the pack. I would think that Tesla should be able to perform this upgrade at some cost...perhaps not the cost listed as an adder when new ($1500) but perhaps for $2000 or something. The only other issue would be that the VIN would not match the car because the number of chargers is listed on the VIN in character 7:

Somebody asked that question earlier. Yes it can be done, but it is not easy. Expect ~$4,000 to do it after delivery.

Every time I see the "early" C in the VIN, I get a little sad. I know it saves money but in a few years the current or next owner will potentially regret it.

Part of "not easy" is hooking up the 2nd charger with the coolant loop. That means open the circuit which is already filled (but avoid spilling coolant in the charging bay), connect charger, bleed air, top up coolant -> labor cost.
