Totally glad I skipped for now. I watched a video I1 tesla put out showing Ver 3 hardware can't even stay on its side of the road and is marginally superior to ver 2.5.
So he does his AP testing on a road explicitly not intended for AP use and you're using that to judge how well a different feature set (FSD) that hasn't even been published to the fleet and nobody has tested outside of Tesla employees yet will do?
It has a lot of learning to do (years) before Ver 3 can actually be useful. Tesla's choice of not using LIDAR for the next few years as a safety net is ultimately going to be a huge mistake investors will regret not fighting.
Lawyers call this assuming facts not in evidence
Go watch the demos video from autonomy day- you'll see the car doing tons of more advanced stuff the public builds, even on HW3, don't do at all.... and all without lidar.
I also didn't buy into FSD or AP to instead opt into buying the performance package; Since I can't easily change upgrade powertrain hardware.
FYI- The AWD and the P have exactly the same powertrain hardware- the only difference is software.
Well worth the performance upgrade, especially since I track and SCCA the car regularly and enjoy the Brembo two piece disk brakes and 810 A silicon carbide inverter over 500 A standard inverter for rear PMSRM (Permanent Magnet Switched Reluctance Motor)
Again, every single US Model 3 ever made got the exact same rear drive unit and inverter you did.
There's a whole thread on here where folks of various models took and posted pics of the PNs on their drive units. All identical.
Only difference is software.
