Here's the original communication with the SC after I selected and scheduled the camera appointment:
Nope, due to Tesla leaving my car in that state I've thoroughly tested that scenario at this point. Setting that field alone does not get you in the beta. And driving for a few days with a non-functional AP is annoying (mostly because GPS doesn't work, screen auto brightness doesn't work...)
)
(I doubt the car would be drivable in this state)
Seems a bit ironic if FSDBeta doesn't use radar that they would have that in the checks. Certainly, reasons I'm overlooking.With that said, I finally did some more digging into the APE firmware and can 100% confirm now that Tesla does NOT recognize our cars with updated cameras (IE, HW3 + RCCB Cameras + "old" EPAS + Bosch radar) as a valid config. And yes, they check the radar type, the EPAS type, AND the camera type to validate the config.. and if it comes back invalid it just infinite loops... literally while true
Have you emailed this info to fsdbeta team? It's not that they wouldn't know this, but I imagine they have their hands full and this is possibly just being overlooked?Nope, due to Tesla leaving my car in that state I've thoroughly tested that scenario at this point.

It's a 5 minute fix to a script in the APE firmware called "detect-vehicle-config", but... they haven't included it any of the APE fw versions I've been able to take look at so far.
Maybe I should try a test that will really break my car... Figure out how to change my EPAS config, my radar config AND my camera config and see if they push me the beta... then change it back and use it

They're not using this check to make sure hardware is present that's required; they're using it to "fingerprint" your car and make sure its config is "valid". Currently, the model3 and model y checks allow for a "no radar" config. The model s/x checks do not.
I have tried almost everything, argued with both support online and service center with no success getting new updates. I thought I would try your suggested method. But before opting out I just changed from advanced software to standard and then back to advanced the software almost immediately started to download. Installing 2021.36.5.1 now. Hopefully I will be unstuck now. Not getting beta, cameras and no updates was really bumming me out. 1 problem down 2 to go.

Still chillin on 2020.48. Along with 1000 other people.
Sadly, this issue hasn't probably risen high enough for the engineering team to devote a minimum of resources to address it. Admittedly I'm sure they're busy with the tremendous workload I'm sure they have. It's very disappointing.
The fact our cars supposedly are so reliant on software fixes by engineers in Fremont makes it really tough to get certain issues resolved. I have had the updated cameras for FSD Beta access for over a month but the next/last steps cannot be completed by the local service center. It supposedly requires totally inaccessible engineers in Fremont to fix.
I think you need MCU2 upgrade to get into 2021 updates! At least that's what I had to do.I still haven't seen last year's "Holiday Fun Release"
