Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

[appleguru]

Hope I don't get anyone at my local SC(s) in trouble, but just an FYI: I was able to get my camera upgrade done WITHOUT having been "invited" for it...

I scheduled the soonest SC appointment possible when I saw Elon's tweet RE needing cameras. Put it in as a "Full Self Driving Computer" upgrade with notes that I already had HW3 but needed the updated cameras installed. When I showed up for this appointment on ~Nov 1st, they obviously had not read my notes. After some back and forth, they told me there was no way for them to do the upgrade and that the parts didn't exist yet for it (hah!).

I gave them a PN list for the cameras needed and asked them to order them for me as parts to purchase (They quoted ~$765 for all of them iirc)... Also had them schedule me for a followup SC visit (soonest which was a few weeks out, ~Nov 16th). In that time, Tesla finally posted on their website about the camera upgrades and created a way for SCs to $0 bill the parts/labor for the upgrade (presumably via some internal memo?). Had they not done this, I would have bought the cameras and installed them myself.

When I showed up on the 16th, they did the upgrade. My app still does not show "camera upgrade" as a service option.

Picked up the car, SC said they can't request FSDBeta for me. Not surprised.
So
2016 P100D Model X
HW3 Computer
MCU2
FULL AP3 cameras
FSD paid in full October 2016
99 Safety Score with over 2000 miles

Patiently waiting for FSDBeta

At least you are one of the few with the new cameras. Most of us don't even have that.

At least you are one of the few with the new cameras. Most of us don't even have that.

And some of us with new camera don’t even have proper working AP that wants to put you through the windshield at blinking yellows.

At least you have a version that will let you get a safety score....

Safety score is pretty pointless for us since our cars are still not eligible for the FSD Beta.

I have AP3 with the current camera suite, but I'm still stuck on 2020 builds because of MCU1. I mean, you could argue that MCU1 makes it ineligible, but Tesla claims that isn't true, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Just got the “Upgrade Available” message 4 minutes ago and scheduled mobile service for the 15th!

 

[msudawgfan]

Just got the camera invite today. 99 Safety Score. December 2016 Model S.

 

[hybridbear]

We got ours too, at 5:55 pm CST. The earliest appointment was 12/13, but since our app will not allow mobile service we took one on 12/16 at the farthest of the 3 local Service Centers because that was the only one with available appointments. We’ll see what happens in 7 days…

 

[ABC2D]

Yup, just got an invite too, 100 score (originally enrolled the night button became available, left on Oct 25, then once camera upgrade surfaced, re-subscribed Nov 9.). Scheduled for Dec 15

 

[Cheburashka]

Damn, I just checked my safety score and it's 93... guess I'm not getting it any time soon.

I’m actually surprised mine is 98 currently. I stopped caring about 2 weeks ago. Haven’t checked the score in a while. But I had 100 for a very long time.

I just got the camera upgrade invite today as well. However, I opted out of the FSD Beta yesterday. So this is interesting. I currently do not have a Safety Score in my app although I had 100 before I opted out. Scheduled for Dec 22.

 

[Casey_S]

Got the invite earlier as well. Opted in, but have no score since the rollover. Had 100's prior, but I'm inclined to think the safety scores don't have much weight on the rollout.

If anyone's keeping track, mine's a March '17 X90D.

 

[fbitz777]

I thought the camera upgrade is now based on VIN# not whether opted in FSD or Safety Score.
As soon as I see momentum on upgrades I might re-subscribe to FSD just out curiosity on how much they are going to charge me for cameras after they just charged me for HW3 computer.
Or I'll wait until Tesla claims you need forward facing camera too so they can get footage in case of accidents.

My Service center in the Sacramento area (Rocklin Service center) which has a huge amount of Tesla's in this region says they have not done any camera upgrades yet. I believe they only sent a few invitations out nationwide and then stopped. ( We only know of 5 or 6 in this group)
If this service center has not done or got any invites out we are in for a long wait. Took me several hours to get this info. Was in for a fight today and spent the time. I will continue to tweet etc but it is looking grim....

No, I don't think you are in for a long wait. I know that retrofit kits have been going out this last week to many areas. Your center should have gotten some by now. And BTW, for someone else saying they didn't get an email about the upgrade availability, the notice comes in the app, then after people schedule an appointment, a confirmation email arrives. Many folks will get invites in the next two weeks, but as we all know, there is a backlog of people wanting the upgrade.

 

[Silicon Desert]

The kicker for me in the note from service center shared a bit ago was the notion that being opted in, or not, does not effect when your camera upgrade might happen.

PRECISELY correct and your score makes no difference even if you have opted in.

PRECISELY correct and your score makes no difference even if you have opted in.

Apparently correct. I'm 100 SS for a few weeks - no email, no app option. But encouraging news.

 

[Rirrutti]

Got the camera invite too, safety score dropped to 96 over last few weeks of not caring.
