Elon Confirms that the FSD sneak peak is for car with HW3 only

[M3phan]

Apparently not so much.

Instead it's exactly what I suggested- visualization update for things like stop signs.

Hardly worth the OMG I DID NOT GET HW3 FOLKS freaking out about.

Agree 1000%. I can wait for my HW3 upgrade.

 

[M3phan]

Yup.

I suspect whatever the "we are willing to take max risks with you guys" group of early access folks get city driving 11:59pm Dec 31 so the FSD advertisement isn't a lie... and then it's... a while... before anyone outside EA does.

EA testing of smart summon ~8 months

 

[M3phan]

Unless a ton of people with HW3 are on EA, or are knighted, we are going to have to upgrade a bunch of EA folks currently on HW2.5 to properly test FSD over several weeks.

Text message support is by far the most exciting thing here. That’s not to knock other stuff but jeeeeezus it’s been a long time coming.

Agreed, I’ve been waiting for text message support for nearly 2 years now. I don’t understand why it took them so long to finally implement this feature but I’m glad that we will all be getting it in the coming weeks.

 

[Ludalicious]

A lot of people like to drive while staring at screens, i imagine this is big news to those folk...

Exactly.... Kinda of like the smart summon. Turns out my 5yr old could honestly do a better job than the not so smart summon.

Also NOA some claim to be mind blowing.... ahhhh not exactly, more like...... Hey hold my beer and watch this

 

[MP3Mike]

It’s the FSD preview, updates voice command and some other little goodies like read and send text.

@Me&my3 Have you paid for FSD?

I agree that it is nothing to freak about if you don't have AP3 yet.

Yes, the FSD sneak preview is just FSD visualizations. But I suspect that actual "automatic city driving" is coming soon after the FSD sneak preview. The fact that 2 people say that "city level autopilot" is coming to EA AP3 before end of this year, makes me think that something more is coming after the FSD sneak preview.

Elon said recently, 1Q20 for HW3 upgrades in earnest (or something like that). Let's assume that means March, Elon time. It seems like he is timing this upgrade path to when "automatic city driving" is estimated for wide released, after EA testing (3+ months). Timing wise, it seems like it could line up that way.

Yes I agree.

Yes. FSD is paid for.

 

[Me&my3]

Do you have the text for camp mode? We already have a "camp mode" under keep climate on, basically. Does this improve efficiency of HVAC in camp mode and can we control it too? - "keep climate on" is basically turn Auto HVAC ON and I don't like that, I want manual control?

I’ll post shortly

 

[jebinc]

Recall, Elon also mentioned games and other things not shown in the partial release notes posted here. So, there should be a few more, "gifts" to be put under the tree.

 

[TomT]

How many years are you willing to wait?

i purchased FSD up front with my order. I wonder if I can delay the upgrade until HW4 comes out?

Displaying of the stop signs and red lights that the computer has presumably been shadowing for a while now? Cool! And does explain the "needs HW3" based on the traffic cones. But not, as that fifth-hand-report video implied, "mind-blowing".

Still, neat! And I can kind of see why they might roll this out to hopefully put a damper on the "watch as I run a stop sign / red light in my $60,000 car" videos out there.

Tangentially related: does anyone think that Stardew Valley is an even cooler get than Netflix for charging station entertainment? If I were to watch an hour of anything at a supercharger, I'd start racking up idle fees. (Or maybe that's the point? Where's that tinfoil hat emote?)

That's an extremely optimistic timeline. I recommend to tamper your expectations.

I have HW3, so I have no expectations! Was just seeing if Elon's HW3 tweets could align with city driving FSD release. They could, even if not likely.

 

[Eno Deb]

I have HW3, so I have no expectations!

I meant both the HW3 upgrade and FSD functionality. FSD is not around the corner.

I would believe 1Q2x.
