They must have underestimated its processing power, since initially releasing the feature on AP 2.5 cars

I'll believe it when I see it. I still don't think we will get the dash cam while driving feature. I'm pretty excited about this, though. I was also pretty excited about the original built in dash cam Elon tweeted about... Maybe I'll finally have a reason to install Version 9.

Does 2+ mean 2.0? To me 2x is 2.0 and 2+ is 2.5. I realize "all cars with enhanced autopilot" includes 2.0, but the way it is clarified could refer to AP2.5 cars with MCU1.

And here I am. Patiently waiting, being budget responsible; holding off on purchasing a dash cam because it was coming. Months I waited, only to find out I needed a 2.5 to have it enabled. I sighed and hoped it would be released later to the 2.0. I waited and I waited, yet nothing. Finally I purchased one just last week....figures.

Who knows what we will get or when. I have to be honest though I drove an MX with AP2 for a month and it did struggle with the dashcam I like my 2018 MX maybe that car I had was just duff but I noticed a big difference overall in performance

What do you mean by struggle? AP 2.0s don’t have a dash cam
I don't see a game being played here. Mathematically, 2=2.0, and when communicating versions, 2.0+ means 2.0 and any newer version. No different than going to a website that recommends Firefox 38+. Firefox 38 is good in this scenario, regardless of whether it's 38.0 or 38.9.9.9, but Firefox 37 is not, regardless of whether it's 37.0 or 37.9.9.9.
That's kind of how I read it too. When I see 2.0+, I kind of read it as greater than 2.0 not greater than or equal to 2.0. Maybe that's just the programmer in me talking.

It’s very clear Elon is talking about all cars with the second generation hardware that has the four side cameras. Whether we can take him at his word or not is a whole other question.
Still waiting for phone as fob and several other features he has tweeted about in the past.

If anything it’s a clarification. He already clearly states ALL Enhanced Autopilot cars. Which was available starting with hardware 2.0 cars. The question for clarification was around whether the software for autopilot was required or if it’ll be a base package included for cars with that hardware.
He follows that up with “all cars with AP2+ hardware” it’s only meant to clarify the software is not needed. So all cars with the hardware to support EAP will have this feature. It’s that simple. We can put the conspiracy theories away now.

I agree with your read of Elon’s tweet. But didn’t he say the same thing about the existing dash cam that rolled out in Q4 which turned out to be AP 2.5 only? If just one camera requires 2.5 HW, why would enabling “Sentry Mode” work on 2.0?
I hope you are right though! I want this feature to work on my 2.0HW Model X!

Just “feature coming soon” we all assumed the rest.
Although one could argue if he launches sentry on all AP2+ cars, his feature coming “soon” would still be true for all AP2+ cars. (By his standards and definition of soon)
Dashcam Feature Coming Soon
