Interesting that they say that. Maybe the ones exported to Korea have a different controller, but the S/X meant for North America have had a CCS compatible controller since February 2020.
Tesla to Offer CCS charging adapter?
Sure, that would be ideal. But Tesla is never going to build superchargers fast enough or in a widespread enough manner to equal the geographic coverage of CCS. There are just too many other people putting in CCS. There's also the fact that, without adapters, Tesla owners are 100% reliant on...

Also interesting because none of the NAM 3/Y have a CCS compatible controller, but maybe the Korean ones do.
What's your source that says North American models are absent the CCS1 controller?
The Ukrainian company that made the passive adapters said they tested NAM 3/Y and none of them, even recent ones could handshake CCS.
From their site
Tesla US CCS1/CCS2 (400A)
Due to war and huge internal demand, export orders likely will NOT be executed any time soon. We will do our best to restore the manufacturing supply chain, for each order placed. We will contact each order owner when it`s ready to ship. Our apologies. Tesla US - ccs1 adapter...
It looks like it's a super easy retrofit for 3/Y, controller board is just behind the carpet in the trunk according to their instruction video.

My bets are on this being a firmware issue that'll be resolved with an upcoming software update. I doubt that Tesla would enable their North American and Korean fleet to talk CCS1 until they release their own adapter. I would assume that the Ukrainian adapter would start working at that point too. Tesla has actively tried to thwart the Setec adapter, so I wouldn't put it beyond them to do the same for any other adapter. Plus, I'm assuming that the Setec developers who first started testing in Korea would have tried a passive adapter first before moving on to something a lot more complicated that requires firmware updates. Finally, I can't see Tesla developing two different boards (one for NA and another for Korea) when they generally do their best to limit their SKUs whenever possible.
Weird that the S/X have it enabled since Feb 2020 though. Look at the youtube links on that adapter's site. The passive adapter is plug and play with the S/X. With the 3/Y you can swap out the control board for the EU CCS board and let the car apply a software update and it then works, no need for root access or anything. Just need to time it with a software update or get one pushed by service.
Also interesting that the EU charge port controller works on NAM Model 3/Y. There are separate DC pins on the CCS port but shared DC pins on the NAM port. Must be something else that switches if the pins go straight to the battery or the charger electronics.
Tesla better make it inexpensive to enable older Model S vehicles to use the adapter! I get the update req'd, but it should be done at a low cost. Having a 2-4 year old car not being able to use the CCS adapter could be a giant FU to customers if they can not easily make use of it.
You don't exactly have a Ford, they will take care of you and be reasonable about it. It might take some time but in the end, they will step up.
For European cars that needed an update in order to use the CCS 2 adapter:
From Tesla.com:
Hopefully the price would run between $300 and $400 in the US for the retrofit and CCS 1 adapter.
Note that the Q&A above are for European spec vehicles, specifically GB. In other parts of Europe, the retrofit and adapter run € 299.
In Europe, the Model 3 and Y have always had CCS ports and Raven S and X had the necessary CCS electronics and can use the adapter without a retrofit.

There are conflicting reports from Tesla regarding which models will be compatible, but right now this seems to be only for Models 3 and Y. Until the adapter is on sale here in the US through Tesla, we just don't know, but some will choose to believe their wishes are fact. I hope it comes before next spring for a cross country road trip in my 2020 Model S. Otherwise I may have to drive out of my way to hit a Supercharger. Then again maybe Tesla will add Superchargers where they are currently sparse.

Excellent find @RadScientist! couple of things that I noted in trying to find out more: it appeared from my investigation to be limited to 300A. While I couldn’t quickly figure out a way to translate the user manual (1 page pdf) link, the figures shown appeared to be with a model s/x or so I thought based on the charge port flap.
