I wonder how many of the NAV features of Firmware 6.2 will be applicable to non tech package Model Ss? Elon was very specific in his tweet about ending range anxiety applying to the entire Model S fleet. But has he mislead us?
Does anyone have an firm info?
I read in the past that the hardware for the center unit is different between tech and non-tech cars. So I don't think that non-tech cars will get turn by turn navigation.Since they made Nav standard on all new Model S, I think they may be deprecating the Maps app to simplify their firmware development. I'm cautiously optimistic that the next firmware upgrade will replace Maps with Nav.
I hope this works out for you, but non-tech package vehicles are sometimes forgotten when they speak of the fleet as a whole. For instance, in today's press kit they mention that all new Model S have the autopilot hardware, when the design page specifies that it's part of the tech package

Not that I disagree with getting Maps replaced with Nav in non-tech cars, but those of us in the used market will lose a "at-a-glance" way of telling tech/non-tech cars apart when the person doesn't post the original monrooney sticker.
I am 99.9% sure that they won't get the turn-by-turn nav on the dashboard.Not that I disagree with getting Maps replaced with Nav in non-tech cars, but those of us in the used market will lose a "at-a-glance" way of telling tech/non-tech cars apart when the person doesn't post the original monrooney sticker.
Apparently another way to tell is the trim below the rear bumper. It's chrome with the tech package, and glossy black without.
Also the headlights are different, with no DRL. As well as the air intakes below the headlights, no chrome accents on non-tech package cars. I can tell from a distance if a car has tech or not.

I don't know why people who bought cars without navigation would expect to receive updates to navigation.

How do we feel about features we paid for being given to cars that didn't buy that option for free? I ordered the tech package because of navigation - so if they basically upgrade cars from the past that didn't pay for it, I will have mixed feelings about it. Happy for you, but feeling a bit ripped off.
