Other than the AP3 -and it does not need to.
People forget but sentry mode came with MCU1 and AP2.5. At that time AP2 cars were excluded. I know, my car is a April 2017 MCU1+AP2 MX.
That sentry mode was just the screen warning and the recording. Later on Tesla introduced the recording on honk, visualisation, the red dot, delete function only for MCU2 cars, still with AP2.5 as a requirement. The reason I have all those features is because I got upgraded with a MCU 2(not w/o a costly price ~CAD $4k) and AP3.
Now the true explanation you (we all) should have is how a 2017/2018 old M3 and 2019MY got features that even 2020 MS/X (latest year of so-called legacy car - pure insulting terminology here! ) don’t have ?! Aren’t those MS/X more recent, aren’t they supposedly Tesla flagships (luxury and SUV -as they like to call It?), aren’t they 2 to 3 times more expensive? Aren’t they the same Atom intel processor? Yes, too all those!
So you got it by now, there is no explanation they can give you because it has not logic other than on a marketing strategic standpoint they don’t care about pissing off those owners - they count for less than 10-15% (made up numbers but should not be too off) of though) the fleet…who cares, right?!
It annoys me because for those like me who upgraded to MCU 2, the postulate was you will have parity with all recent cars (minus features related to other hardware like adaptive/damping suspension,etc….) - well this was a lie!
Some people will come with that silly argument “well Tesla never promise you any additional features after buying the car or the upgrade” while this is true it is a matter of fairness: as long you keep developing on a hardware, give the features to all owners of that hardware don’t pick and choose who deserve and who does not specially when those who spend the most end up being left out…this is a mockery. Period!
BTW, For those who bought their MX/S in 2020 they got to the nice surprise in realising the refresh was announced few months after (that is another issue on its own) but worse, they start missing out features in an official and shamelessly fashion way but older, less expensive models had those! By the way, this is not the first instance Tesla does not give MS/X the same features than M3/Y (aside the obvious design specificities…). The only difference is that they are making it clearly in our face since new MS/X went out…
The whole thing is a joke. Tesla just ruined the whole OTA experience. Consequently, these days I don’t look forward for any update because it has been a source of frustration since last Christmas…
Even the new light show? Not offered to “legacy” MX???! No that I care but this is a mesquin move at its best - who did have that Christmas light first? Now suddenly those cars are not capable of turning on and off their lights and opening/closing their doors anymore? But a M3 and Y that can only open their boot can? So upsetting!
I don’t like the design of the M3/Y but if I thought about buying the MX plaid, I am not planning to do so anymore…just waiting to see them start missing out on features in next 2, 3 years max while 2022 M3/Y will still have those latest features… I am in for a good laugh!
Meanwhile, I feel the Rivian can be a more versatile car…love it. I wish they had their own software identity though… their layout/design looks like a fade sad copy/paste of Tesla’s! Why buying a sad copy if you can have the original that is way better!!!
For instance their autopilot looks like Tesla’s but is truly a farce compared to the original.
Hopefully it gets better and once the case I switch…I love my MX but Tesla frustrated me too much!
