ATM there may not be enough production currently to supply more than the OEM suppliers, but that will change in time.

I just purchased my 2017 last November so I'm in no hurry to FI my car just yet. Going to do breaks and suspension and bushings first.
The verbiage on their website seems to suggest their aftermarket offerings are separate from the others and this item doesn't appear on their aftermarket portal (yet).

I would be surprised if this device was offered to the aftermarket simply because of the additional electronics needed for throttle, and battery management (charge/recharge) to power a 48 volt device, but who knows? Also, tuning for this will take some work, but is obviously viable.

Between what we have now and full E.V.s, electric super/turbocharging is definitely a viable solution. I've been running my non sequential 24 volt setup for over 2 years now and love it.
