Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

[Resist]

So apparently NOA on Model 3's with HW 2.5, get stuck in the passing lane and won't move over to the cruising lane. This doesn't happen with HW 3.0 vehicles. I think Tesla should have HW 3.0 to those of us that paid for FSD first. How much longer do we have to drive around without the same functionality that new owners get?

Where'd you hear that?

I've had my HW2.5 car do the "changing lanes to get out of passing lane" thing a ton of times.

If yours isn't doing that open a service ticket.

This is not accurate.

Any reports of Model 3’s getting the HW3 retrofit that had FSD purchased after delivery?

Elon tweeted retrofitting to start in earnest Q1 2020.

My Model 3 with HW2.5 gets stuck in the passing lane often now on NOA with 2019.40.2.1, and it never used to. Numerous YouTube videos are confirming the same thing with HW2.5 owners. I've not heard of one HW3.0 owner having this issue. But as I said, for me this didn't occur prior to 40.2.1.

Had you inquired, or did Tesla contact you out of the blue?

Did you buy FSD with the car or did you purchase it after delivery?

 

[boriszima]

I guess at this point since I bought FSD a while ago I would like new HW pretty soon as now there becoming more and more “need” for it. Next quarter should suffice.

 

[GuyDude]

I inquired about it.

I purchased FSD about a month after I took delivery in March of 2018

 

[jkoya]

That's great news - let us know how it goes !!

Let us know how it works out. I dont want to text or email SC about this, i am sure they are busy with other items. I believe this can wait a little bit while they take care of our Tesla more important issues.

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.

Mobile tech was at my house for tire rotation today and he confirmed that HW3 replacement can only be done at a service center due to the liquid cooling and it's easier to just have everything right there in case anything goes wrong. Doesn't mean they wont ever do it via mobile but maybe not until they perfect the process? I live in Denver and this tech just transferred here from the Fremont Factory in the past few months.

We need a rule... no one can post "I was contacted!" without their VIN, how they were contacted, did they bug Tesla, etc.

And whether they purchased FSD before or after delivery.

Congratulations can’t wait to hear how it went. Let us know. I tried to have ours done with other stuff and they said our vin wasn’t available yet.
