2017 AP 2.5 MS, will it need camera upgrades?

AP2.5 and later cameras are full color.
They are not quite full color.

The difference is in the filters within the camera sensor. Inside the sensor each pixel is represented by 4 photoreceptors, with a combination of filters. AP2.0 cameras produce a sort of reddish black and white image because they have a Red-Clear-Clear-Clear (RCCC) filter. Tesla later added a blue filter to the camera sensors, hence the Red-Clear-Clear-Blue (RCCB) filter on AP2.5/3 cameras.

RCCB cameras have no green filter to actually make them full color, but green can be calculated by the AP computer. That's why the RCCB images have a sort of sepia/yellowish hue when watching the videos.

Have you seen beta on any S or X?
Yes, this guy has had FSD beta for around a year on his 2018 P100D Model X (so no cabin camera in his vehicle).

Also, there are some TMC members on the Model X forum that discuss their FSD beta experience on their pre-Palladium X's in this thread.
