Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?
- Thread starter Joshan
- Start date
MCU1 falls under "Global Autopilot Computer: 2.0 and 2.5 Built March 2018 or earlier" where the key is "March 2018" is when MCU2 was introduced for S/X.
Although if you're willing to pay for the MCU2 upgrade to get FSD computer now, the latest from Infotainment Upgrade currently shows:
Code:
Configuration Beginning Availability
Autopilot Computer 2.5 with Full Self-Driving Capability Scheduling Now
Autopilot Computer 2.0 with Full Self-Driving Capability Late April
All remaining Model S and Model X owners Coming Soon

Looks like Tesla Service might have misread the chart too: Honolulu SC just completed my MCU2 Upgrade
Unclear if this is the expected upgrade process for HW2 in not changing the cameras as part of MCU2+FSD computer retrofit, but from the thread, looks like traffic light recognition works fine and TeslaCam too:

So I just got off the phone with the Santa Clara Service Center. They proactively called me to say that my car is eligible for the HW3.0 upgrade and that they now can do it via mobile service. My appointment is 10 days from now, April 30th. I have not contacted them in any way concerning this upgrade so it only took 4 months for them to get to me.
Just scheduled a HW3 upgrade on my 2018 Model 3 at the Alpharetta, GA location for May 1st. Used the phone app and the directions noted above. Received a confirmation email about 5 minutes later. I’ll provide an update once complete (or get the call “sorry, we are out of HW3 boards at this time”).
Well, that did not take long. The Alpharetta service center contacted me to let me know they don’t have any HW3 boards at this time. They said they would put me on a list and will reschedule when they have more available.

Follow-up to my post from yesterday....
I got an email a few minutes after my phone call confirming my mobile service appointment's date, time and place. I also received a text this morning from the Service Team with the same instructions for prepping my car for a "touchless experience" and contact preferences for their social distancing practice.
I went back and scanned all of the posts in this thread since I made my statement about being a control case for not calling Tesla (Dec. 24, 2019; all 16 pages). It appears that I'm the first to report getting contacted for the upgrade without asking for it (or for any other service work for that matter). I didn't mind the 4 month wait. It gave the service techs experience to do the job right.

I was told that the FSD retrofit couldn't be done by mobile service on a Model 3 because of the liquid cooling. You may be one of the first to have it done by mobile service. Can anyone confirm having a Model 3 retrofit done by mobile service? Where?

That's what I had thought I read somewhere here too (i.e., rangers not being able to do the HW upgrade). Well, it's four days before my appointment so I'll be back here to let you all how it went. If I do get the swap-out from the mobile service, I'll ask the tech about how common it is now and if it's something that all SCs are able to do.
I scheduled the upgrade in Finland for May 19th. They canceled it yesterday saying the upgrade is not yet available in the EU. That doesn’t seem to be correct based on this thread, but I suppose it’s still a little early. Will try to book again in May, since then it’s officially the scheduling period.
I scheduled a HW3 upgrade for my May 2018 Model S at the Tesla Littleton in Colorado.
I received a call from the service center directly today confirming they have the HW3 computer and I am confirmed for the upgrade tomorrow morning! They implemented the contactless drop-off, so we’ll see how that goes. I also will have Uber credits back and forth so I don’t have to wait around.

You aren't required to upgrade to MCU2 to get HW3.... though you'd probably want to (at a cost of $2500).
I also just had an FSD Computer upgrade switched to mobile service -- scheduled for next week.
From the discussion I had with the person scheduling appointments it sounds like this is still at a pilot project stage and very limited in scope for now, but your mobile service tech can probably provide an update.
