    S3XY Knob on older M3

    Use the contact form on their web site. I've almost always gotten a response back within 24 hours. They will know for sure.

    This is the official retrofit of model 3 CCS been announced?

    My tech had no issue leaving the old board. Definitely a significant reduction of the parts count. However, I wish the new board had the conformal coating of the original.

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    Interesting, mine zips right up. In fact they compress just enough that neither one moves. The other option is to stand the J1772 adapter next to the ccs adapter. My issue with that is that is you have to remove it to get to the CCS adapter. The fact that it was $7 cheaper is another bonus...

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    If you do get the retrofit installed I'll put in a recommendation for this $11 case available on everyone's favorite shopping site. (Maoershan - EVA Hard Travel Carrying Case for PYOTON Mini Portable Projector Y3). I found it over on the other CCS thread here. The CCS adapter fits perfectly on...

    Change air filters

    Look behind the orange wires in the back. Take a look here in the middle of the link below. https://pawlikautomotive.com/2018-tesla-model-3-cabin-air-filter-replacement/

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    Mine works, but the button on my charger handle seems much more temperamental. Most likely coincidence for me.

    With the “bundle of wires” and a different part number ECU. Not the same. I didn’t say it wouldn’t work, just my tech couldn’t get it to work without toolbox.

    I'll also note that you may not be able to DIY this even if you purchase the ECU. I had a very nice tech and watched him enable CCS on the software. In Service Mode the retrofit CCS button on the high voltage section actually disappeared. He was surprised it no longer showed up. He had to plug...

    CCS Retrofit Availability (2023)

    Thanks for the installation link. I had a very nice tech and watched him enable CCS on the software. In Service Mode the retrofit CCS button on the high voltage section actually disappeared. He was surprised it no longer showed up. He had to plug in and fire up Toolbox as described in your...

    This is the official retrofit of model 3 CCS been announced?

    Yes. As another data point I just got mine done today here in northern NJ. It was done by mobile service. Nice tech no issues. At the same time I was able to finally get the trunk wiring recall done. That wasn’t officially offered to me until six months ago. By that time I had 3D printed a...

    To DIY or not to DIY? Front Camera Replacement: Fisheye and Narrow Cam Dropped Frames

    It’s been a few years, but there are some YouTube videos on it. You’ll need some plastic trim tools and small screwdrivers and/or picks.

    2018 Model 3 - Service Mode Not Loading after CCS Retrofit

    Pretty much "no". Especially for something like a hidden feature such as "service mode". If you want to try your only option is to use the app and discuss it as a service issue. I can tell you with about 99% certainty they will tell you that is not a feature for end user use and will close...

    2018 Model 3 - Service Mode Not Loading after CCS Retrofit

    As far as I know downgrades aren't possible. Sorry you are in the same boat, but I'm happy somebody else has the issue. It's more likely to be recognized and fixed by Tesla.
