Interesting thoughts after visiting Tesla service today..
I was issued a 2014 Model S PXXD loaner today and started poking around it system. Was really shocked when I launched the games as they were god awful slow and choppy.
I like my Model 3 MUCH better! So glad I didn't go the used Model S route.
Anyways, I got to thinking....
After speaking with the service tech about 3.0 I came to this conclusion. It seems that those vehicles equipped with 3.0 hardware (nVidia chipset) will be absolutely faster and smoother at games. (Like not even close)
The tech said 3.0 is buried inside of the one and only main computer of the car. The S/X have two different units that can be upgraded individually.
When asking for a price to upgrade the computer, I was given a general area of about 3k.
The tech was absolutely awesome to deal with. They did not even have to tell me that as its all still speculative. (and frustrating)
This really makes me unhappy because I have EAP with 2.5. I wish we could get clarity on this issue for those of us that went all in early, but were phased over within 12 months. (I’d also like my upgrade to FSD for 2k) - This needed to be a push notification to the car - Not some secret “Have to be on the net 24/7 thing to obtain)
Ugh!
