Yeah as you say you know how this goes. They won't say they are leaving you behind because announcing that wouldn't be of any benefit to them. Most people won't even follow this stuff to even know they are missing anything so why announce as much from the roof top.It's expecting too much but I wish they'd just say that it was planned obsolescence. It's not unusual in the tech industry, and no one ever actually admits it, so I know it's expecting too much of Tesla to say "you're not getting the V12 flashiness because we want to encourage new sales".
I will quite happily grouse about the fact that Tesla leans heavily into the "your car gets better over time", more than other manufacturers do - of anything I think, e.g. Apple don't really tell you when you buy an iPhone that one day you might get some fancy new software, you get what you get when you buy it and that's it. Apple prevent you from installing perfectly functional later OS on their older stuff too, but at least these can be hacked on - I've got a work iMac that is "only" 7 years old running the latest OS software, when Apple will only let it run software 2 major versions back. Hacking the "real V12" onto an Atom car is basically an impossibility.
It is ultimately just cognitive dissonance from my end though because I also recognise that giving existing customers everything forever, forestalling when they might otherwise give you more money, is hardly a great model for profit and growth. Doesn't stop me being annoyed that my car has started to be left behind, when it plays a bunch of games that are far more taxing than the new UI appears to be just fine.
Bah humbug etc.
As I see this, you already have the best infotainment of any car and you've got HW3 so when finally they ship an FSD here you should be able to run that. All the useful and not just window dressing for sales updates you get. Overall I'd not get too concerned about it at this point, poor legacy S and X folks get it much worse and they obviously jumped in early when prices where higher as well.
I'm also used to buying cars like BMW where you get nothing. Some cars cannot run iDrive 8.5 even though they ran 8.0 and it doesn't look massively different. Cars that run iDrive 8.5 cannot be upgraded to 9.0 that's already shipping on some of their models also. Most makes you basically get what the car comes with and nothing will change for the duration of ownership. At most they give you some bug fixes, newer maps and the ability to purchase some new Hans Zimmer noises.
It also works fine for me. Also took two login attempts through

As long as it works properly and is properly featured in the first place I am sure many people will accept that.
It’s when features are either not or only partially complete or do not work properly it becomes a problem.
Yea, I’ve added bits to cars in the past, even completely rebuilt them turning them into a very different spec car, but it’s been relatively easy to do and/or cars were well past their use by date. But never have I been wanting for the latest bit of bling on a newer model - that’s because what I had just worked.
I normally keep cars until they owe us nothing, so 13-15 years or even much longer. Not convinced our Tesla will get anywhere near that before it’s been functionally neutered.
They’ll get this right eventually. First added it without a chime. Now we get the chime. Just needs to work when not on a route and then probably for holiday update ability to set custom chimes from USB
I'll get a chance to test it on Navigation later this afternoon, and can try it on the way home without Nav.They’ll get this right eventually. First added it without a chime. Now we get the chime.

Yes I mean we all had no choice but to accept that we got what we got when purchasing the car and nothing else. However they would bring out new features in each new MY that didn’t depend on any new hardware, they just wouldn’t ever release it for older cars. That model I think is obviously dying and I thank Tesla for leading on this. I also curse them for bringing in the trend of shipping before the software is ready then fixing it after the fact…
Probably your biggest issue might be if they start turning off the 4G bands before you’ve got your time out of it. Otherwise I’d assume (maybe wrongly) it should still get you from A to B OK in 13 - 15 years of ownership.
My update finally installed and, welp... nothing really to write home about to be honest, the bigger speedometer is probably the best bit.
I have EAP and was hoping Autopark would have added the the option to select a space as you creep past like i've seen in some videos, sadly not.

Really ? That was the only thing I was looking forward to, seeing as that’s why I bought EAP …
I went to 14.3 about a week ago, I assume I am a Guinea Pigs
. I don't see any sign of the new update so that supports the theory.

Right, was not moved since installing. did some trips and when I come back the truck was exchanged by a car.
my car don't have FSD.
yes more details even aren't accurate always: brake lights, indicators

Seeing as they cannot get them working properly, they’ll remove them soon in a cost cutting exercise. They’ll ship another solution but it won’t be ready at the same time they remove the wipers so instead the car will pull over and just wait for the rain to stop instead.What else have the same stage?
Wipers?
