My cameras got replaced last week and shortly after I got home I got the latest FSD update. Everything's working now (as well as FSD works anyway). Finally! Most of the things it does wrong seem to about speed control - driving to fast up to an intersection and needing to brake hard, or going...

Early 2017 Model S purchased with FSD 5+ years ago. I finally caved and paid for the MCU2 upgrade a month back. They wouldn't upgrade the cameras at the same time, or even let me make an appointment after. Just today I got notified that I can get the cameras replaced and apparently they will do...

I have a 2017 MCU1/AP3 Model S with FSD purchased with the car. Yesterday I filed yet another service request to have my car updated to the FSD software and any required hardware as that is part of what I paid for. Tesla called me a few hours later (on a Saturday) and told me in an excited...

After driving around a bit on the new version, sadly there is no noticable change or improvement. Navigate on AutoPilot still as broken as ever, endlessly trying to change lanes to the right to block itself behind slower traffic. Disappointing.

My 2017 MCU1 FSD Model S just started downloading 2021.24.28 after being stuck on a 2020 build for the last year and a half. We'll see if it changes anything. Sure would be nice to get a glimpse of the FSD I paid for 5 years ago.

This is reaching a pretty outrageous state, where Tesla is completely failing to make good on their promise of updating the hardware if needed to support FSD. Elon has publicly said the cameras need to be updated in 2017 cars, but when contacting Tesla service they won't entertain anything...

Now there's evidence that the AP2 cameras aren't going to work. https://electrek.co/2021/10/22/tesla-autopilot-2-owners-need-camera-upgrade-before-full-self-driving-beta/

I am yet another 2017 Model S MCU1 owner who purchased FSD along with my car. I had a lovely exchange where I asked service (in the app) to send me the update for safety ratings to get FSD Beta and was promptly told I was on the latest version "for the MCU currently in the vehicle" but I could...

The other person's insurance took responsibility, but then sent me to their shop to compare with the Pacific Auto Body estimate. The shop they sent me to isn't familiar with Tesla and gave an estimate just under 2k (compared to Pacific's 6.5k). The truth may be somewhere in between, but this...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I went and got a few estimates today, including Pacific Auto Body in Seattle and a paintless dent removal estimate from a place in Bellevue. Service King is ... nuts, they scheduled an appointment for an estimate 2 weeks out, then I drove to four other places...

Thanks. When places open back up tomorrow I may take to Service King in Bellevue which appears to be on Tesla's list and apparently does paintless dent removal and will see what they say. Has anyone had their car repaired at this place?

My hope is that they stick with the 100kwh size for a while but between making the pack lighter and the motors and everything else more efficient that they are able to further increase the range (and probably the acceleration in the performance model, but I couldn't care less about that - all...

A few hours ago I was backed into in a parking lot. The damage doesn't look serious, scratches on the bumper and rear quarter panel and a dent in the rear quarter panel, but the car is only a few months old and with the horror stories I've heard about what it costs to repair these things I'm...
