Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting
- Thread starter Lowchrg
- Start date
I got my camera upgrade on Nov 12th. My Service Advisor told me to contact [email protected] for FSD BETA information. I emailed them on Nov 13th, advising of my camera upgrade, 99 Score and wanting the 10.4 download. I immediately got an Auto Reply saying "we are currently reviewing all inquiries into FSD BETA Program."
So far, nothing else.
Has anyone seen other vehicles newly receiving the FSD Beta? I think it still comes in waves every few days to a week.
Fair point. Plenty of possible unrelated blocks. Still, I’ll be watching for full success. Too much fun : )

My service center delayed my appointment from the 18th to the 26th- they're waiting on receiving a couple of cameras. A few days delay isn't bad.
Considering what numbers? The majority of people here have not been invited to upgrade yet. We still don't know when Tesla will get through their backlog or how much of a problem parts supply will be.
To answer your question, no I have not had the correct triple camera installed because they needed to order the correct part. But I am a little puzzled.
If you do a quick Google you will find triple cameras for sale for the HW2.5 and later cars and the part number is always 1120520-00-B. That part number is the same number I found on Tesla’s internal parts pages. Therefore it seemed obvious to me that the part number on my invoice last week indicated they were about to install another “color challenged“ HW2.0 triple and in fact that turned out to be the case. But more to the point it seems clear they installed that same color challenged camera on your car. It is easy to check if you haven’t done so.
If you haven’t done so already: On your Tesla main screen go to the safety and security page and look for Dashcam. There is also a Format USB drive button and as soon as you install a thumb drive that you don’t mind having formatted, you can format the drive from there. Then go for a drive and you should see the rectangular icon for the Dashcam at the top of the screen. Take a spin around the block, park and click on the Dashcam icon and choose the playback option. You will see a video comprised of the front camera plus side cameras. If you have the wrong triple camera the large image will look washed out and the small images will be colorful.
I think it is pointless to wait to hear back from Tesla. The Dashcam will quickly tell you if you got the wrong triple camera. BTW, I did exactly what I am suggesting for both of my Teslas. My Model 3 Dashcam images were all colorful as they should be but my 2016 S front camera image was severely color-challenged to say the least.
Seems like some people are getting that part with HW2 camera retrofits (Fremont service center):
Thanks for posting this info. That is reassuring. It seems odd that some service centers including mine ordered the wrong triple camera but ordered the side cameras correctly. Perhaps Fremont was giving out bad info on the triple camera in the early days of the retrofit offer.

Only a small subset of these people actually got an invite to upgrade. I think most are still waiting with no timeline, myself included.
I think the point was that they actually came up with an upgrade *plan* pretty quickly.

I doubt it.
I think they knew since 2017 when they changed the cameras over that the old AP2 cameras wouldn't be sufficient, so they probably had an idea for the last 4 years on how to change the cameras. They only got around to it because of the people in this thread, who created enough noise for Tesla to actually do something.
View the last few posts about the triple camera and be sure your invoice shows the correct part number.
What is unclear is whether the plan included opening the access gate to FSD Beta. One poster in this thread who got the cameras upgrade said the affected service center told him/her to email Tesla early access program, but I believe people have reported here for years that you cannot reach them. It will be nice to have the enhanced camera filters but not sure it will matter until wide release of FSD Beta someday.
I already have the upgraded triple camera and fender cameras, Will be interesting at drop off.

I believe this person will get FSD Beta in the next wave if their safety score is eligible but to my knowledge they have not sent out more FSD Beta invites yet even to 3 and Y which is why they didn't receive it immediately.
BTW I just verified with my Service Center that this time they have ordered 1120520-00-b for the triple camera.

Considering the % of people who need these upgrades to the total population of Tesla FSD cars. I'm guessing less than 5% ...
