Does the hardware system (2, 2.5 or 3) have anything to do with the car systems, outside of Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-Driving? I've placed an order for a Model 3 Dual Motor Performance with EAP and the FSD option. I'm fully aware the FSD will likely not come to fruition during my ownership of the car, but I was originally getting it for incremental updates to the EAP which could require the newer hardware 3.0. I'm now questioning how much I would really use EAP. Following this progression, if I'm not going to use EAP, and don't expect FSD to materialize soon, the only reason to get this would be for the hardware 3.0 chip. If this upgraded hardware doesn't have any effect at all on other systerm (navigation, streaming content, etc), then I should probably cancel the EAP/FSD. If that hardware does increase the capabilities of the systems reflected in the 15" screen, it becomes a ROI question.

So, in a nutshell - do the hardware system upgrades benefit the goodies on the console screen?
