Free FSD for April -- but not for me?

[Beta V]

I have a 2023 MX LR and have not received the "free" FSD. I hear reports that many have already received it. Tesla Service did not respond to my request for information.
I also have a PhD in impatience.

Make sure you have updated to the latest available software. I had a popup / message advertising the trial in my car this morning even though I'm paying for it.

Same, '21 Plaid S. No love yet.

I got an update late last week 2024.8.7.

How about 2024.3.7? That was it.

 

[DCGOO]

I got an update late last week 2024.8.7.

I just got the FSD (Supervised) 12.3.3 yesterday. But it came from 2024.3.10 (before I was always on 2023 releases). So your software may be too new to get it.

Seems there is now FSD build above 2024.8.* yet. If you have a 2024.8.* version installed I’d guess you won’t get it till there is an FSD build at that level.

Same boat here... my last update late last week was 2024.8.7 so I am assuming I'll get the next update late this week... I hope.

Same, mine updated to 2024.8.7 last week and I do not have the free trial as of yet either. I need to stop checking for updates every time I get in the car LOL.

You can check for updates on your phone, Tesla app. That way, you can check even more often

Just a heads up, that once you do a software check, it will not actually check again for another 24 hours.

I guess add "ME TOO" to the list. 2024.8.7 here. Maybe we're on Elon's naughty list.

 

[BrianGragg]

I suspect its on a rolling release so they are not updating EVERY car in the country at the same time.

I too do not have the download. For you and I it will not be a 30day Trial.

I believe that we all are at the end of the update list.

 

[Stach]

I could be wrong, but I don't believe that our cars will be downgraded to an older software version for FSD. At least my 2020 Model Y has the ultrasonic sensors (USS) and I believe we are on a different software path than the newer cars because of it. Once Tesla releases a software update for our cars that has FSD included with the software, I'm hoping that we will get the full 1 month free trial. When Tesla decided to stop using our USS and use only vision, we've been excluded from some of the features that we used to be capable of like Summon, etc..., but they were promised to come back in a future release.

 

[Unclepaul]

Soon.

I received the software update several days ago and yesterday was my first attempt to use it. I have tested Cadillac Cruise a few years back. It was a bit unnerving at first, but worked very well. It did get confused in one spot and I took over. There is a jughandle (NJ thing) near my home. There is a Yield sign and one must turn left from the left lane and right from the right lane. The road surface is clearly marked and lined. To get home it is a left turn and then back across the main road. I approached the left turn, the car slowed and crawled and was wavering between the left and right lane. No one was behind me, so no big deal, but if there were cars behind me or in the right lane, it could have been an issue. At the very least confused the others and I may have received some horns as an alert.

I have not yet read the Tesla guides on use of FSD but was coming home late last night and tried a couple miles from the house as no one else was on the roads. Also a bit unnerving at first, LOL, but I will do a read on using it and give it a try. My wife said I better not do it with her in the car.

I'm beginning to think that the .8 branch (for those with ultrasonic sensors) will need a different version. Nope, I love my sensors and was lucky enough to have those on the car when it arrived in Feb of 2023.

Yes, I wouldn't trade my USS for straight vision only. I was lucky with my '21 model - it was one of the first to have a heated steering wheel, and passenger lumbar support. The only thing that came out later was a heated windshield.
