That is what I understood from past comments on forums which I why I will wait and not upgrade even if prompted for the 44 update.Not installing a version ahead of FSD Beta release has helped get FSD Beta in the past:
2022.40.4.1 am I screwed out of FSD beta?
Right, but presumably it has *some* version of FSD? I'm not aware of FSD versions being published - only FSD beta.teslamotorsclub.com
A vehicle on 2022.40.4.2 had downloaded but not installed 2022.44.2. After delaying the install many times, the vehicle was eventually pushed 2022.40.4.10 as part of FSD Beta wide release. Installing a version "further ahead" (2023.44.1) of the expected end-to-end version (2023.38.10) likely restricts eligibility until 12.x is updated to 2023.44+. This could be a wait or might end up being not too long if part of this year's holiday update.
Question - Is there any rhyme or reason to cars that get specific versions of FSD...like subscription based FSD vs fully paid for FSD? Or does it solely have to do with model/make/year, etc. because of hardware?
REALLY hoping V12 includes (and fixes) bringing back summon (or actually smart summon) and autopark which has never been available on my 2023 M3P without USS.
