Yep. Buy it, then schedule the HW3 install. It'll be free. Mobile techs have been known to do the work.Curious. If I buy FSD for my 2018 Model 3, does that also include the HW3 upgrade?
Cameras are not replaced as part of the HW3 upgrade.were your cameras replaced as part of the upgrade? I purchased FSDS yesterday and my install is scheduled for Monday. I have a 2018 M3 long range
I didn't know the FSD buy price had decreased. Now, I'm tempted to get it!got the hw3 upgrade the other week on my 2018 3 and it definitely breathed new life into my car, even outside of FSD (which I use 95% of my drives now):
I was just going to sub to FSD for $100 (even though I have EAP) but since the price decrease, I just bought FSD for $2k
- Much better camera colors
- Ability to view the other side cameras and interior cameras during sentry mode
- Auto blinker cancel
- Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control during autosteer
- Green light chime
- Better on-screen visuals

Do you have any before/after pics from the repeaters?no cameras are not replaced. The color correction is done on the fly with hW3
I did buy and replace the repeater cameras myself to fix the terrible light bleed when you use blinkers at night though.
The SO and I thought so, but it was something of a debate, where we were swapping back and forth on who was pro and who was con. Things that tipped it for her 2021 MY:So I’ve got enhanced autopilot and it’s been great for my commute. So is it worth paying the $2k to get FSD?
Not asked of me, but I had a condensation issue with one of my side repeater cameras that disabled the use of autopilot until fixed. They used a newer one to replace so I have one of each. When I look at both cameras in the day I don’t see any difference. At night the right one has light bleed with the turn signal but left doesn’t.Do you have any before/after pics from the repeaters?
Did you get the one month trial?So I’ve got enhanced autopilot and it’s been great for my commute. So is it worth paying the $2k to get FSD?
Hugely debated.So I’ve got enhanced autopilot and it’s been great for my commute. So is it worth paying the $2k to get FSD?
Since my model 3 is a 2018, I have the older HW and don’t qualify for the 1 month trial.Did you get the one month trial?
I've had EAP, and have been testing FSDb since Thanksgiving. On the highway, there's no difference, as I think the software stack is the same. My understanding due to compute restraints they haven't been working on updating the highway stack. However, that was a while ago, before Tesla increased their compute capacity, so presumably they're working on it and will have the highway software updated soon, as well. But I don't drive highways too often, so I haven't noticed. Maybe, they've already updated it!
However, on my roads, backcountry roads, having FSDb is great. Being retired, I go skiing 2 to 3x a week, and FSDb handles backcountry roads extremely well. 80 miles there, 80 miles back, and it's slowly improved so that now, I can do the trip without disengagements. I have lots of construction zones since we've had tons of bad weather requiring road repairs, power line repairs, so the current V12 manages them so much better than V11.
Overall, there are so many tiny improvements of this or that, since V12, that the list would be too long to type out. The quick answer is the system is so smoooothhh. Very human-like which is important, because then it creates little anxiety for the driver or passengers. It responds the way I would. I don't jerk the steering wheel around. The car used to do that, when it was positioning the car to make a turn. Very disconcerting to have the wheel swing back and forth, fast. I called it the thumb breaker.
Having said that, I did test EAP on these same backcountry roads, just to get a baseline of how FSDb compares, and it's night and day. EAP could do it. But, it required plenty of close monitoring. If there was a curve, EAP would not slow before the curve, but in the middle of it, not very humanlike. FSDb slows before a curve, just like you would.
Since I've been paying $99 a month testing FSDb since Thanksgiving, I've been hooked like Tronguy. When the system isn't available, I'm forced to drive myself, and I found it quite hard, when you're tired after a long day of skiing! Haha. I eventually set up 2 profiles, one with EAP, so if FSDb becomes unavailable, I can revert to EAP.
Now that FSD is $2k, that's only 20months @ $99, and since I think I'll keep my car for at least another year, and maybe longer, I think it's worth it. It's a clear improvement over EAP, and you can use it on surface roads. And, it's improving quickly.
Upgrade the hardware.Since my model 3 is a 2018, I have the older HW and don’t qualify for the 1 month trial.
My wife has a performance model Y with the newer hardware but am still waiting for her 1 month trial to try it out. All my friends have gotten the 1 month trial but my model Y seems to have been skipped or am still waiting.
...ran afoul of the Tesla’s autopilot 85 mph limitation when having to pass on Texas 75 mph limit roads. Our bad, should have disengaged first. As a result, the car turned off all the automation until the next drive. In both cases it was a roughly 30 mile trip to our next scheduled stops.
that fixed light bleed or after HW3 install?Do you have any before/after pics from the repeaters?
Do you think some of that might be software as opposed to hardware?that fixed light bleed or after HW3 install?
Before the HW3 install, the cameras pretty much looked the same, but there is zero purple light bleed at night when blinkers are on. Just look at your side repeater footage at night, that's what it looks like all the time even when blinkers are on
After HW3 upgrade, the colors just look a bit more natural. The following are taken a few days apart in a near same parking spot. These are the SAME repeater cams in both images.

are you saying that the HW upgrade is free even if I don’t have FSD?Upgrade the hardware.
I have an older 2018 Model 3 and mine works.
The hardware upgrade is free if you buy FSD. If you only do the monthly subscription it is $1000.are you saying that the HW upgrade is free even if I don’t have FSD?
Here's a video that has before-after vids for a diy fix:Do you have any before/after pics from the repeaters?
