I’m starting to wonder if I will get a Camera upgrade invite before the anniversary of the button? I’m sure glad that I’ve helped with Tesla insurance driving like grandma, but they can keep it after that date

Tesla I want my FSD!
In 2016 I paid $10,000 for FSD on my new Model S. 102,000 miles and 6 years later I'm still waiting while new Model 3's roll of the line already equipped. I am an original Tesla fan who purchased a MS in 2013 before Musk was Musk. I bought again in 2016. I have Tesla Solar. I want my FSD!

Many people took Elon Musk words and might even think that his concept is reasonable.
His concept of imitating human eyes is admirable, but the problem is that no software/hardware is comparable to the human brain and intelligence for FSD.
It's like thinking that we can fly if we can make a machine that can flap like a bird. Imitating nature. The concept is not new. The ornithopter was first made from wood as far back as 400 BC by Archytas. Today, 2422 years later, flapping wing drones are still researched, and it's still science fiction. There has been no hardware/software that could imitate nature's wing's muscles and coordination for a meaningful flight. Some day the machine will catch up with nature in another maybe 2,000 years, but there are ways to make machines fly today without a flapping wing.
That's where we are with FSD. We can't stuff a block or a whole city size of Supercomputers into the car to catch up with the human brain but like airplanes without flapping wings, we can find other ways to do FSD.
The test in this link is Automatic Emergency Brakings that do not require an FSD purchase, but the Collision Avoidance Technology has been here, and Tesla should have been using it.
I have a late 2019 Long Range and I have paid the full FSD at the time. Recently, I was able to get the FSD download, but most of the time I cannot use it because the repeater cameras on the fenders keep failing. Tesla has replaced the right side camera 5 or six times within 6 months and keeps claiming the cameras are bad without even trying to investigate any underlying issue. How come the cameras are bad if they work on certain days and not on other days? There must be a reason deeper than that. I have never seen such low quality in manufacturing, or servicing.

You paid $10k in 2016? Why would you pay more than Tesla was charging?

The answer should be simple, refund me the money. I paid for FSD, or give me the tech necessary to use it.

Is it just me or others think the FSD craze has peaked? No major announcements, haven't even received any update since the last major rollout in June. My fear is that was the last of FSD we were going to get as archaical cars owners just to fulfill the contract 
what does the peeps on this thread think?
My heart goes out to those still waiting for camera upgrade invite and / or those who recently got the camera upgrade and are still waiting for FSD software.

It has nothing to do with Early Adopters. We're all waiting for Aug 20. In the name of the father, and of the son, and...Is it just me or others think the FSD craze has peaked?

I believe that is the wrong triple-cam. See post #1 for parts tried/approved by various posters. The other cams look OK.
