A Ridiculously Easy Upgrade. "A child could do it!" - L. McCoy
Ordered the ECU via the Tesla app Service menu 05/11/22. 05/15/22, Tesla messages me "please come to the Decatur (Ga.) SC anytime to pick up your part". Couldn't buy it by going to the SC; had to use the app first. $140 + tax.

I have already done this, trying to get the ChaDeMo adapter working on a bricked EA station, surprisingly I managed to get a real live person in less than 2 minutes, and after reading them the station ID on the side of the unit, they were able to remote reboot it in less than 5 mins, and get me charging.Srsly. $140 for the ECU. Greaaaat. $320 for the CCS1 adapter. Suuperrr. Ability to stand in a thunderstorm and argue with a recalcitrant EA charging station. Priceless...
This is incredible; please pass along my thanks! (And perhaps ping to @jjrandorin to nudge and say, unban pls? Bans are serious business! Hopefully it's only temporary?)Encourage all to visit @BobbyC's storefront to purchase said wire harness. Unfortunately, he's been banned for posting a link to his website (spam? srsly?), so just go here: 2 much sun dot com. Buy his wire harness (he priced it same as @FalconFour's (because, because, because, because, becaaaaaause!) he doesn't feel that he should be competing).

Many thanks to @BobbyC, who made the wiring harness and helped me do the ECU swap! We went to the Decatur SC to access Service Mode, then drove to downtown Decatur, parked in a municipal lot (where there are 2 free L2s) and did the upgrade. Problem: to complete the upgrade, the car needs WiFi to download the software update. Solution: my iPhone's hotspot.
We walked 4 blocks to have a beer at the Brickstore Pub while the car installed the update. Problem: my iPhone had to stay in the car in order for the download to take place. Solution: turnoff bluetooth on the iPhone, lock the iPhone in the car using my Tesla keycard, go have a Kölsch and an enlightening conversation with @BobbyC.
The entire process, from start to finish, probably would have taken 30 min, including the time for the software update download/install. But, hey, there was beer.
Post upgrade, we drove to a nearby EA installation. 182 kW peak on a 350 kW dispenser, and, typical of EA installations, the first dispenser stopped charging after ~ 4 min and we noticed that the cable/connector was quite hot, but the CCS adapter was not. We switched to the other dispenser and another 5 min charging session went off without a hitch, again maxing out at 180ish kW, but settling down to 130ish for most of the 5 min session.
We used @BobbyC's CCS adapter, as mine is enroute from Korea. Total game changer in my book, because I tow a Burro camper and go places where there are no Superchargers...not to mention busy Superchargers...and even the lowly 24kW CCS chargers at Chevy/Harley dealerships are better than L2.
That would be a match.Dont want to derail the thread, but that looks awfully a lot like the Adairsville Supercharger in GA. I've been to it many times.
No, Tesla does not yet offer a retrofit kit for sale nor installation. You will have to DIY.Hi everyone. Can Tesla install the CCS retrofit or is this something you have to DIY? There’s a lot of posts here - so I’m just trying to figure out what is required and if I could do it…
Is it simply swapping out the ECU? The car will update itself ? I saw the OP had tons of errors originally…
I have a 2018 M3 RWD LR.
And I assume you need to buy the CCS adapter from Korea?
As far as I know, Tesla Service will probably not help you with this upgrade. Although I'm not sure that anyone has tried asking. It involves swapping out your current charge port ECU with a Gen4 1537264-00-B version (~$140 from Tesla Parts), adding in the custom wiring harness ($80 on eBay or you can source your own parts online) and performing a software install. Of course you'll also need the Tesla CCS1 adapter, currently available from South Korea (~$300) and not yet from USA.Hi everyone.

You could try Tulsa, OK. They seemed very willing to order the part and shipping cost $8 something. Total cost was $161.XX. The person told me the price before I gave my address, so I think its just a flat rate to get it shipped.I have a June 2018 build and have everything right now except the ECU. For me, that's been the hardest part to obtain.
