Mostly people who have "fit" new stuff into their "retro" things, but I get where you're coming from.

Retrofit sounds appropriate:

retrofit: add (a component or accessory) to something that did not have it when manufactured.

Yeah, I really thought it was the wrong word until I asked Merriam-Webster. . TIL.

Just dropped my late 2018 model X for the retrofit. Will report later on how it went. On my side I didn't receive any email to inform me of the retrofit. It was last month when I went to the SC to have a driver front window that would not close anymore fixed, that they told me I could schedule an apointment and that they were rolling out a lot of retrofit. I'm in Montreal, Canada.

 

[Sparrow]

They contacted me about the retrofit yesterday. Scheduled for the 26th. Once again, I already had an appointment for ranger service for an unrelated item and they contacted me about having it transferred to the SC so they could do the retrofit.

Just got the HW3 done on our Model 3 yesterday (MX done a month ago) - seems smoother and the full FSD preview is cool but you can still see the limits of the S/W for full FSD.

One odd experience I saw was driving north on 101 in CA during rush hour in the lane beside off ramps it twice it changed the speed limit to 35 from the correct 65 and that sort of jacked the AP. I will look to see if that is a one off etc

 

[Meccanica]

My 2018 MX is getting it's retrofit this morning, pretty stoked.

Schedule mobile appointment for something unrelated, and in the note asked about HW3. Next day they changed the appointment to SC on a different day. I got no txt, call or email notifying me of the change. But when i got here this AM they confirmed it was getting it's retro.

Did you order FSD with your original purchase, or after the fact? I've been in line for nearly two years, although I did not purchase the feature with the car, shortly after. Frustrating wait

 

[Sparrow]

My FSD was purchased with the original purchase of the X. This is for a 2018 Model X purchased in early December of 2018.

I bought the car in June 2018, FSD in October 2018. Now offering FSD through the app for less than what i paid. <sigh>

If you bought it previously, it should say that it was already purchased. You shouldn't have the option of buying it again.

yeah, I thought that too. But apparently that flag won’t tick off until I actually have the computer installed. SC says I am on the list, just not here yet.

We bought it and still haven't been upgraded. On one car, it used to show Full Self-Driving twice. Now it just shows Full Self-Driving once on the Purchased tab.

 

[Borntooxlr8]

How are you all requesting the upgrade?

The correct way to schedule is through the smartphone app. If your unit has not arrived, the SC will cancel the appointment.

What set of options do you put it under?

It doesn't matter. Pick whatever you want. There is always "other"

Got my car back. I don’t drive a lot so the car is still calibrating. Seems to be stuck at 84% but as I said, I’ll need to take out the car again and put some millage on it. On the plus side, I see orange cones now

 

[Bogobec]

UPDATE: I'm still stuck at 84%. But I realised that the message shown is as follow: Additional camera calibration needed. Make sure to be in Park. Ir something like that. ??
So I need to let the car idle? Should it still be on? Because it as been sitting in park for several days now and nothing. Could it be because it is snowing a lot here? All my cameras seem to be clean and free of snow. Except for the front one when in a snow storm.
Any advice would be apreciated. Thanks!
