Yes, I got the CCS adaptor included. In the bill, they did “ retrofit system charging ECU and harness “. According to the tech there was significant labor, much more than the HEPA retrofit that I did in the same time.

When can we expect to see a CCS Adapter for the Model S?

Any possibility we will see a CCS Adapter for US Model S this year?
Would really open up charging options as CCS is essentially going to be the new standard.

Would also like to see if we can get a CCS adapter for Model 3's, there's an Electrify America ban of chargers nearby work, and only works w CHaDEMO & CCS chargers
Any technical reason they can't develop a CCS adapter?
Is this something a third party can develop?

There were a bunch of technical challenges, including both standards using the same starting point and not having hardware that can hear the CCS communication to begin with.
Tesla solved them all and delivered a “dumb adapter” solution for the EU that requires a new version of the chargeport hardware.
There shouldn’t be any remaining difficulties in making a matching version for the US; we don’t know if Ravens have the updated chargeport or if all US cars would need a retrofit (EU chargeports changed at the same time as the Raven update.)
I'm sure (hope) they realize the CCS Adapter will be so much more useful than the Chademo adapter they developed.
Could they maybe implement a CSS to J1772 Adapter if CSS is to "difficult?"
A J1772 Adapter at 80 amps could still provide a pretty reasonable charge, with at least enough range to get to a Supercharger or Destination Charger.

No. You’d need to communicate in CCS to get the station to turn on at all, and then the CCS station is feeding high voltage DC to the car, not the 240V AC that J1772 feeds to the charger.
No current Tesla can charge at more than 48 amps from an AC source.

Those of us with dual chargers can charge at up to 60 Amps (or is that 72?) unless I'm mistaken.
Still even 48 amps would be quite useful if you are in a bind... This is the reason people used to buy CHADEMO adapters but CSS will be a lot more useful and available going forward.

80a with dual chargers, HPWC, and a 100a breaker.

CORRECT
Here's our 2015 Model S P85D with dual 40A onboard chargers charging at 80A on our 100A 240V breaker feeding our gen1 HPWC
Correct. However, no car you can buy new from Tesla today can do this.
