What SC are you using? I have been in Devon PA and I was not impressed with their service.

Just got a call unprompted from SC that they are ready to install my HW3.0 and scheduled mine for January 9. They said they'll need to car overnight so must be more work for my early VIN. Out of town until that week unfortunately or I would have scheduled it sooner. Will report back

Our Model 3 has a close VIN 066,xxx and was just in for service yesterday Pacific Time but not California. The only bulletin for our vehicle was for charge port pin deadfront, although that was already done previously, so unclear if the system was just confused or still mainly California.

Well, sounds like you are assuming this is done in Vin order, which is not necessarily the case for many cars.That's promising... Only ~40k vins to go before they get to mine
True, I hope it's sooner. I got impatient yesterday and tried to schedule an upgrade for January, but got one of the famous "don't call us, we'll call you" responses haha
My was done 2weeks ago in San Francisco bay area. Got service for suspension problem and they said it would be a couple of days to upgrade to fsd hardware. Got a loaner model s 75d.
I am in CA and eligible (VIN less than 2000), but they are now out of parts and aren’t expected to get more until end of Jan. So, yes, it is going to be highly variable. I am betting it takes the whole year to get the fleet done.

From what I heard part of the reason they're selecting early VINs right now is that the wiring harness for the FSD computer between the early Model 3's and those built later (Q3 2018 and later) are different. There is soldering involved and takes a few hours to do. This is due to Tesla having not finalized the design of the AP3 FSD computer until around June 2018 so they weren't entirely sure what they needed until that point.

Interesting. I'm just over the line, with an early July 2018 car. So anyway, if that's true, it seems to imply the upgrade will be easier on the Q3 and later cars, right? There has been mixed info about whether the replacement can be done by a mobile tech vs in the shop. Maybe this relates to that. That is, plug-and-play they could do anywhere, but soldering in new connectors they want to do in the shop.

I think we just discovered the inspiration for cybertruck.
