No idea personally, but check this video where someone (in the US) has done the same:

...change the car to do the modification...

I have no experience but it looks like the simple mechanical modification is generic for all cars that have 2 pedals.

It's a matter of mechanically connecting the hand control to those 2 pedals physically.

There are two metallic rods running from the hand control above down to the 2 pedals below:

For nicer modifications, that may need some tapping to some electronics to the car and that, of course, needs some Tesla knowledge.
