I don't know that these few camera upgrades would flood service centers...I hope we all get the camera upgrade. Honestly, don’t you feel that Tesla sometimes is flying by the seat of Elon’s pants and making it up as they go along? It seems so chaotic and disorganized. They should’ve figured out this camera upgrade before inviting people to FSD beta few months ago and doing the safety score. Also I am concerned that the service centers are all packed. They may need months to get the parts available and get us scheduled to replace our cameras. Hoping I am wrong.
I looked up Tesla quarterly deliveries for Q4/16 and Q1,2,3/17 and it was roughly 25k/qtr so we're looking at a total of around 100k cars.
If you consider, some of these have been wrecked.
How many bought FSD?
Of those that bought FSD, how many upgraded to MCU2?
Those that got MCU2, how many are aware of "the button" and pushed it?
And lastly, how many of those that pushed the button follow Elon on Twitter or follow these forums or reddit etc.? And even know about camera upgrades?
Examples. I was walking around my neighborhood and saw a guy shining up his M3. I asked him, did you get to try FSD Beta? He said I don't have FSD, didn't pay for it. I said, you know you can pay for the monthly subscription, get the FSD request button, bla bla bla...
He had no clue about the beta request, never heard of the safety score, nothing...
Then I thought I'd call up a friend I know that bought a M3 2 years ago, and asked him if he bought FSD, he said yes... I ask him: so did you get in the Beta? He said, what's that! I was like wow, you don't know? He asked, know what?
I couldn't believe it, I told him to go to his autopilot tab and he should see the beta request button... he found it and had no clue that it was even there, and hadn't heard of the safety score.
So long story short, many are clueless any of this is even happening; so out of 100k cars I don't know how many of these will be running to the SC for new cameras.
