    PSA You will NOT get into the FSD beta if you already have 2022.24 or higher.

    My SS was 96. After FSDb install I no longer see a score. Apparently it's supposed to be that way, I just want expecting it.

    PSA You will NOT get into the FSD beta if you already have 2022.24 or higher.

    Submit a service ticket to ask. When I did the very knowledgeable Tesla service technician contradicted the common wisdom here. He assured me that I would be able to upgrade no matter which version I was running. And that turned out to be true for me. For what it's worth, I was on 36.6. I'm not...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Congrats. Seems many are getting the same thing with same criteria the past 24 hrs or so. Mine almost exactly matches your post, but my SS is 96.

    FSD Beta 10.69

    FWIW, I've seen a lot of YouTubers say 100 or 99 gets you FSDb, and they show you how to quickly improve your score. That's just anecdotal, not my first hand experience. However, I have 96 SS and got bumped to FSDb overnight from .36.6 to .36.20. It's working very well

    PSA You will NOT get into the FSD beta if you already have 2022.24 or higher.

    Yep, my SS is 96. I don't know for sure if, how that affects getting it. I saw multiple YouTubers saying 100 (maybe even 99) was the criteria. In any case, I passed their criteria, whatever it is. Download and install was fastest yet at 35 minutes. Just did my first test drive and was...

    PSA You will NOT get into the FSD beta if you already have 2022.24 or higher.

    My SS is 96. On 2022.36.6. 2022.36.20 (FSDb) just got pushed, notified ready to install.

    2022.36 — Official Release Notes and Discussion

    I haven't been offered .40.x yet. I'm in the FSDb waiting queue. That seems to somehow affect my updates. FSDb 10.69.3 and my standard load both are on .36, until FSDb 11 is released. I understand it's a branch of .40. Sorry I digress. This thread is not about FSD.

    Phone Key Range and Notifications

    If I were experiencing the same as the OP, I think I'd submit a service request I have a 3, so touching the handles does nothing. I know the S and X do respond to touch. I have never experienced the same as the OP. Like others, my car honks minimally as I walk away from the it, typically as...

    2022.36 — Official Release Notes and Discussion

    Sorry you had all those problems. I've had all good update outcomes, except for the long install durations. I started on a recent build though. Software Version History Versions Date Install (2022-) (2022-) Duration (mins) .36.6 10-29 50...

    2022.36 — Official Release Notes and Discussion

    FWIW, I have had 2 updates since I got my 2022 M3 in Sep. They took about 70 and 50 minutes each, from start to finish, no interruptions, just slower than Tesla warned. I don't know how well that compares to averages. Results seem to vary widely. I haven't seen any consistent explanations...

    PSA You will NOT get into the FSD beta if you already have 2022.24 or higher.

    what objective first source data do we have that is fueling all this conviction that having a regular software load must not be numbered higher than the FSDb loads. It's like everyone has agreed we need to take the bus to Abilene. Why? Yes, there seems like there COULD be a dependency. There...

    2022.36 — Official Release Notes and Discussion

    That's definitely not correct. Need to open a service request about that, as you were probably already planning to do. I got not no problems with 36.6. FWIW, I have M3LR

    PSA You will NOT get into the FSD beta if you already have 2022.24 or higher.

    I was skeptical and aware of the points you make. I've read them many places. So I asked him multiple times, multiple ways to be sure. He tried hard to assure me that they do and they will roll back and install the FSDb build. I am CAUTIOUSLY optimistic. His knowledge and mastery of...

    See my post on this subject. Tesla service assured me new updates do not hinder getting FSDb !

    Anyone still not received 2022.36 yet?

    Go ahead and intall updates. It does not hinder FSDb eligibility. I asked Tesla about this last night via the Service Request feature in the app. A knowledgable service tech called me this afternoon (not much more than 12 hours later) and answered my questions thoroughly! He assured me that...

    Anyone still not received 2022.36 yet?

    About an hour I got notification of update ready. Got to home WiFi and looked at specifics. Ready to go from 2022.28.200 to 2022.36.6. I let it auto-download using my very good home WiFi. It took about 20 minutes, with starts and stops, in spurts, assuming server side cause. Now I'm trying...

    2022.36 — Official Release Notes and Discussion

    Bottom line: (1) Is it typical for updates to take 60 minutes or more with a good data connection? (2) Is it typical to stall at 50% progress? Background: I know there are multiple threads here discussing updates, but I chose to comment here, because others are saying they had a LONG DELAY...

    Auto Lane change

    I don't know who to report my similar problem to. I do NOT have FSDb, but I do use EAP features. When autosteering both with and without using autonavigate, especially on highway onramp merging, I often have to intervene to prevent getting too close to vehicles (like semi trucks) I'm merging...

    Auto Lane change

    I don't think the Tesla navigation should be called Google Maps, even if it is mostly the same, even if it's Google software. My Tesla navigation, while very similar to Google Maps on my phone, does work a bit differently. Why point this out? Tesla navigation has at least once provided me...

    Used Model 3 Order - How long did shipping to your location take?

    there are YouTube videos of trucks picking up cars from trains at locations some # states away from delivery. So it seems common that some m ok re than small portion of the shipping will be by truck, even when most of the distance is by train. I found the videos interesting, if only to learn...

    Used Model 3 Order - How long did shipping to your location take?

    ah, thanks for the catch. Yes, much applies similarly, but other things will be different or not apply, like VIN assignment. Thus my experience with shipment of a new versus used M3 across country might not apply well. I could only speculate.

    Used Model 3 Order - How long did shipping to your location take?

    there is much discussion on here about the subject, even some tracking statistics. FWIW, my Model 3 LR shipped from Fremont to central Florida on Sep 4, and per schedule I took delivery on the 21st, my DD. That was about 2.5 weeks shipping cross country. My OD was in May, about 4 months OD to...

    Merge lanes? What gives?

    I'm happy to find this thread. I'm having problems and can't find anything else online about the subject, especially not how to report problems to Tesla. References to "report via Tesla My Account" haven't helped me. I cannot find a way to submit a problem report. Much driving the past two...

    Vendor Steam launching on Tesla? When, and how to get ready for it

    FWIW, I'm an M3 owner and I'm not a gamer. Steam isn't important to me. Playing games in my car isn't important to me. It's fine if playing games in a parked car is important to others. I would not assume the non-gamer population is small.

    V2022.40.1 Installing on 2022 Model YP

    I requested FSD Beta just after delivery of my M3LR in mid September. I read that submitting an FSD Beta request can hinder normal updates, while also FSD Beta is also not pushed. After being stuck on the normal version it was delivered with in September, I emailed the FSD email address, and...

    Is NEMA 14-50 AND Tesla Wall Connector a good idea?

    I was going to reply with multiple good points you already made. My biggest concern about this thread is advice that is either not code compliant or is plain wrong. And as the video points out, this is dangerous and is a serious subject. Most localities require permits and code compliance...

    What inverters work with the 16 volt Tesla low voltage power socket?

    16V x 12A is 192W. It's the wattage that matters in most cases, that is, how much total power a device needs. Of course, an inverter is maybe 70 or 80% efficient, so AC output will be less, maybe 135 to 154W at 120VAC

    Do supercharger users not care about price?

    I saw worse than 60 cents/kWh (energy basis). Last week I encountered multiple Superchargers in Georgia with tiered rates, certain cost PER MINUTE DEPENDING ON CHARGING RATE (duration and power level basis). I think 250 kW rate was $1.00/minute. I saw no ref. to time-of-day or peak times...

    I'm with you, same annoyance. The answers here so far aren't satisfying. It might be nice if the car illuminated something when it detects a proximate phone key, at least the drivers door. Even just a faint light

    Power Inverters for newer 16V Outlet Cars

    I bought the BESTEK 300W, and it does nothing in my M3. I read in the OM about needing inverter that utilizes 16V input. I assume that's why the BESTEK fails, and why I searched & found this thread, searching for inverters taking 16V input

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm in Florida with a scheduled DD 9/20. I've been wondering if a rail strike might happen and how the risk is already changing transportation. I really hope my 9/20 DD can be kept. I read the federal government might intervene to block any strike so as to not make the commerce and the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That's a question I pondered and I'm sure many have as well. I talk about my thoughts in my post earlier. I think there's a good chance the monthly cost of FSD will increase at some point, if/as they keep increasing the full purchase price. And if FSD gets much, much better (consider the...

    I wish I could edit my original post #51,212. I didn't mean to make the whole thing look like a long quote. I created a redacted version of my MVPA "Final" Price Sheet. For those who haven't seen one, it could help explain how the figures are all added up, including down payment and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    There's a great review of ceramic coatings on Project Farm. I used the Turtle Wax Hybrid, and it's amazing. I also did many of the preps mentioned (clay bar, etc.). It's cool how it not only is ok to get it on other surfaces, but it's like RainX. It works great on all surfaces, for me.
