    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Interesting. I have definitely heard that thunk before. Especially when supercharging from very low. Had read about it ahead of time, so I was never concerned. Wonder if they ended up just swapping those out for me without putting it on my invoice.

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    TX in general. Austin is better... but if you think the Tesla population here in ATX is remotely comparable to the bay area, you haven't been to CA recently. At least in nice neighborhoods and city centers across California, Teslas are every other to every 3rd car. In really nice neighborhoods...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Battery breathers? What's that? I did notice they removed my kid's car seats in mine when they did the upgrade & I was wondering why that might be. Assumed they may have just needed to do a high voltage disconnect under the rear seat (is that a thing?), but then I also noticed the paperwork...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Slow part is the coolant flush on M3. Doesn't tie up a tech though... they work on other cars while it's happening. Mine was done in 4hrs in 1 day. Asked the tech how many they'd done. He said "too many!" Sounds like they've been at it for months already, at least at my SC, and have it down. I...

    HW3 soon moving from emulation to native mode

    ^^ This. Ya'll are debating some blogger's guess as if it's actually what's happening. C'mon now.

    Nice! That never worked for me (I was trying every other day).

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    I've cracked the secret to getting the upgrade before you get the call. If you have a Model 3 with a sub-150k VIN and you've paid for FSD, chances are good that there is an internal service bulletin on your car for the upgrade. That said, calling and asking for it, or booking a service appt and...

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    If you have a Model 3 with a sub-150k VIN and you've paid for FSD, chances are there is an internal service bulletin on your car for the upgrade. That said, calling and asking for it, or booking a service appt and asking for it won't work. You'll get auto-rejected by a rep who won't even check...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Has anyone in TX (specifically Austin) gotten a Model 3 FSD upgrade yet? I need a tire rotation, but don't want to book until I know they've started them out here in this EV forsaken land...

    FSD Computer Upgrade and Experience

    That "other post" about vin based upgrades was also from me. Turns out the person who told me that was misinformed. Zero Model 3's have been upgraded (outside of the very limited and totally full early access program). Don't bother service with your requests. I already did twice now and the goal...

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    Except they'll be flush with several hundred thousand of them after they swap out everyone who paid for FSD (starting this December apparently). Pretty sure those will be used as replacement parts for anyone w/ 2.5 who didn't pay for the upgrade to 3.0.

    Thanks. Miss-remembered the "H" off the top of my head.

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    It won't show any difference for the Model 3. Model S/X however do have different codes for FSD computer. AP4 instead of the old AP3.

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    They'll text/call you to cancel it within a couple days. Several have tried this. None succeeded. At least not with a 3.

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    That's the standard issue automated mobile service confirmation email. I got the same note before mine was canceled as they "haven't started retrofits yet, don't have the part, and don't have any visibility" into when they will. That said, I have a 3. It's possible they're only stocking AP3 for...

    FSD Computer Upgrade and Experience

    Aaaand.... they're saying it's still not available. Appointment canceled. No insight into any new ETA. Guess whoever got my hopes up back in early May was misinformed. Sorry, all. False alarm. Don't bother trying to book your FSD computer upgrades yet. Not gonna happen.

    FSD Computer Upgrade and Experience

    Same confusion as last time... Doesn't bode well. They'll probably respond by cancelling again. I'll try to at least get an updated ETA.

    FSD Computer Upgrade and Experience

    We'll see. Nobody actually reported getting it yet. Only thing reported is a service appointment. We're all expecting them to get canceled as they have been when people tried this before (but crossing our fingers and hoping for the best). As for your spoiler, I've been told they're in stock...

    FSD Computer Upgrade and Experience

    Very very low 100k's No. The expectation is I'll beat the rush once improvements start to be announced.

    FSD Computer Upgrade and Experience

    I tried booking an upgrade appointment back in early May when it was confirmed they were being installed in Model 3s. After some initial confusion about what I was asking for, mobile service canceled my appointment saying that while initial releases are already rolling out, my VIN range wouldn't...

    New Cars DO NOT have AP3 (Hardware3!)

    Take a look at this post from another thread on this topic from someone who just picked up a HW2.5 car built in May. You can see in the picture of the AP computer (behind the glove box) that the build date on the 2.5 computer is Nov, 2018... months older than the HW3 build dates (earliest I've...

    HW2.5 even after April 12th build date

    Worth pointing out that the date on that 2.5 case is earlier than the date on the 3.0 case pictured earlier in this thread. Supports the theory that they're using up old inventory (this one from Nov last year...) in the lower priced models. Makes sense as once they start doing upgrades...

    Marina del Rey CA-Delivery Location - QC wait times - Aug 2018

    Still no movement. So sick of taking Lyfts. 3 weeks since getting the VIN and still have no idea where the car even is other than it left Freemont.

    Marina del Rey CA-Delivery Location - QC wait times - Aug 2018

    Good policy, but it needs to be coordinated with financing timing, or they better be sure they can fix things quickly... If they can't solve these issues before loan pre-approvals expire, we'll be taking an extra hit to get our credit pulled multiple times for no reason.

    Rescheduled for the 3rd time...

    I suppose we should be grateful they're catching these issues before delivery. Trying to stay patient. Just sucks to be without a car as I sold my old one right before I expected to originally take delivery. But I'm sure I'll forget about it the day after taking delivery.

    Marina del Rey CA-Delivery Location - QC wait times - Aug 2018

    I'm in the same boat, only I sold my prev car, so now I'm paying for Lyft's twice a day because they couldn't deliver when they said they would. Still radio silence if I don't bug them... and if I do, I get nothing but "be patient" making me feel like I'm the asshole.

    Rescheduled for the 3rd time...

    Same car, same delivery center, same original date as me. You managed to get way more info. All I've heard whenever I ask is "be patient", making me feel like I'm at fault for wondering when I'll get the car I was supposed to get 2 weeks ago. Now I'm convinced I'll get one of your rejects...

    Marina del Rey CA-Delivery Location - QC wait times - Aug 2018

    Still silence. Presumably because it’s all out of the ISA’s hands at this point. Been in contact with ISA since 8/1. Just an RWD, so got to the ISA contact point pretty quickly. Before I had entered financing info I was getting calls with updates on the car every other day. Now I don’t even know...

    Marina del Rey CA-Delivery Location - QC wait times - Aug 2018

    I'm in the same boat. Was told car would arrive at MDR on 8/9 2 weeks ago. Found out later it didn't, but has left Freemont. Now they won't give me any info other than they're waiting for logistics to schedule delivery and they don't have a delivery window. ISA also mentioned that "your Model 3...
