In my quest to get a Gen4 ECU, I visited 3 service centers. My local pointed me to EPC, where I discovered the ridiculous $200 shipping charge. The next one was locked... something something COVID-19. The guy at the 3rd service center knew exactly what I was asking for right away, apparently they've had a lot of requests for the Gen4 ECU. Unfortunately they had none in stock, and he mentioned that all their orders to stock some were being canceled. I told him about the $200 shipping charge, and he kinda just shrugged.
Fast-forward a week or so, while I was on EPC to get some parts for a Model X rebuild, I checked the cost of the Gen4 ECU again (just for fun. I had already checked a bunch of times to make sure the $200 shipping charge wasn't just a glitch). And whaddya know, it was only asking $8 for shipping! I've never clicked an order button faster than that.
If anyone's curious as to why the charge port needs an update to work properly, this is what the car has to say:
