OTA update to FSD V12 as part of recent FSD purchase

[env_krish]

Anyone that have purchased FSD during this latest price drop received software update V12 pushed to their vehicles? I just got AP 3.0 computer installed on my 2016 Model S (AP 2.0) and still waiting for the OTA update for V12 FSD.

Have you also had your cameras upgraded to RCCB? That's another requirement for a vehicle of AP 2.0 vintage.

Yes, cameras have been upgraded.
1. INLINE TRIPLECAMERA(1120520-00-C)
2. B-PILLAR CAMERA,LEFT(1069104-SL-D)
3. B-PILLAR CAMERA,RIGHT(1069104-SR-D)
4. SIDE REPEATER TRIM -CHROME AERO RIB -LEFT HAND(1514877-01-C) with LAMP ASSEMBLY -SIDE REPEATERCAMERA - LEFTHAND(1495866-22-C)
5. SIDE REPEATER TRIM -CHROME AERO RIB -RIGHT HAND(1514878-01-C) with LAMP ASSEMBLY -SIDE REPEATERCAMERA - RIGHTHAND(1495867-22-C)

But I am realizing that I am on MCU1 and the OTA FSD updates for legacy vehicles not upgraded to MCU2 are going to be slow.

That is the dirty little secret. MCU1 does not appear to be compatible with FSD. I am unaware of any MCU1 vehicle that is running FSD. I've been waiting 1.5 years since Tesla said that FSDb was available to anyone who had paid for FSD and I opted in. All upgrades have been done and still no FSD.

Oh, I didn't realize you were on MCU1. There are a handful of MCU1 vehicles that have gotten FSDb but AFAIK they are still on v10.69.x (ie, really old version).

I think your choices are to pay for the MCU2 upgrade, or wait, but it isn't clear what the plan is for FSDb on MCU1, if there is one. Personally, I found the MCU2 upgrade well worth it.

Sometime in early April, during the free FSD demo, my car was upgraded to FSD 12.

Those cars with MCU1 that received FSDb had it removed a couple of weeks later because it didn't work.
