Yeah, October 2020 is the time they started adding CCS compatible ECU. Surprised it's not a software update, it's just a new protocol. Is there a voltage difference? Or is the ECU 3rd party?

At least with Tesla's exponential sales the number of people it affects will be smaller. 1 million out of 4 million I think




Yeah, there's a different controller inside the charge port. From what I've seen, it isn't a difficult upgrade and the part is unrestricted.

I've been estimating the % of affected cars as ~20% at this point and the % that is capable is steadily increasing.

Still an annoyance if you have one of the vehicles without support, but they are no worse off than before. The supercharger network has roughly doubled since then too.
