I recently purchased a used 2018 model x. And it’s On hw2.5. If Ii upgrade to hw3.0. Do i get the auto steer and active cruise control?

Those 2 functions have been present since 2014 hw1 even in the absence of hw3.

If your car doesn't have them, upgrading to hw3 will not magically get them.

I believe you have to have the Auto Pilot or Advanced Auto Pilot (or FSD). If you look at the available upgrades in the app, or the info screen in the car you should be able to tell if those are on that vehicle.

This is what I currently see in the autopilot

thank you for the reply. This is what my options are in the autopilot menu.

AFAIK, all HW2.0+ Teslas come with both of those features. To engage TACC, you pull back on the cruise control stalk once. To engage autosteer, you pull the same stalk back twice. The features you get depend on what features you pay for, not what hardware you have (if you pay for FSD, the HW3 upgrade is inclded with that purchase).

Thank you for the clarification. I tried that and it doesn't engage the auto-steer. So it sounds like I have to take the car and see why it doesn't engage these functions.

Well this confirms it. I have to pay for it….

 

[Les236]

As Thwang1585 says, you need to look under additional vehicle information. Here are screenshots from my autopilot and additional information screens

 

[Les236]

Yes, looks like AutoPilot was not purchased with the vehicle.

Right, so I remembered wrong, AutoPilot safety features were always included, but basic AutoPilot (auto steer) is an optional add-on.

AP with autosteer is standard now. I think this changed within the past year or so tho.

Correct! The magic word here is to PAY for those 2 functions.

If you upgrade to HW3 without paying for those 2 functions, you still won't have them.

But aren't these standard features in a tesla????

From my post above and the current Tesla website: AP with autosteer is standard now.

At some point they became 'standard'. For early model year Teslas some feature (autosteer part of AutoPilot) required payment. Other features have always been standard ... you can see the table below and guess which ones have been standard forever (ie. safety related ones).

No. Not all.

Yes to all new from 4/2019 but not for any prior to that. I had to pay those 2 functions for my 2017 Model X and 2018 Model 3. See:

Tesla Model 3 will come standard with autopilot, online sales to stop

It's the latest in a string of problems.

Generally a good idea to black out your IMEI

Was this car owned by a rental company before? I've rented 2017 and 2018 Model Ses without Auto Steer and AAC.
