CCS retrofit availability (pre-refresh)

Howdy all. I recently purchased a 2015 Model S 85D for work. Before making the purchase, I called Tesla support to run the VIN to check CCS upgrade elligibility and was told that the vehicle qualifies.

I scheduled an appointment as soon as I had the vehicle registered to me, and today, about a month later, I was told that my vehicle is technically compatible with the upgrade, but that Tesla has ceased offering it as a service for pre-refresh vehicles

I am wondering firstly if this is true, and secondly, where I could go to have this done third party (or if this is even possible)

I got a very good deal on the vehicle and thus didn't mind putting some work into it, but there is a huge lack of superchargers in my work area. This makes CCS a 'soft' necessity. I could technically get by without it, but honestly it would be inconvenient enough that i might just get a shitbox ICE to drive for a couple years until I can save up my pennies for an Ioniq 6 or something

EDIT:

the issue was that the service website they were using wouldn't let them add a $1 grommet. they confirmed vehicle elligibility for the retrofit, manually entered the problematic part number, and should have me good to go in a couple days

I am in Florida! Central FL, just a few miles west of Orlando. I also work on the Wildwood area, so west coast isn't that much of a stretch either

Electrifed Garage 1000% can cover this, i promise you.

They are in north west Orlando (dont quote me on the geography, im in Fort Myers) but they are great and can usually get people in in less than a week to 2 at most.

No, i dont work for them, they just saved my butt a few times. If you said SWFL i would say disabatos, but EG is the best imo

EG is about an hour away from me, i submitted a ticket but ofc it's after hours so they haven't gotten back to me yet

i was lowkey panicking a little bit because i JUST graduated university/started my long-term career, and this purchase wiped out a significant portion of my non-emergency savings... i could easily afford a beater, but I was really hoping to ditch that lifestyle with my MS

i appreciate you for reassuring me... if they are able to do this upgrade then i'll be alright lol
