How do I determine if I have Self Driving Hardware 3.0?

[atlynch860]

How do I know what version of the self driving hardware is installed in my car? The docs on the Tesla website don't say... I took delivery of my M3 Performance on 5/24/2019. It was from existing stock with 250 miles. I know I saw a build date somewhere, but can't find it now.

Thanks,
Drew

It doesn't really matter right now...even if you bought the FSD option. As soon as you have the FSD option and it actually matters, Tesla will let you know.

Build date is in the sticker in the door

In the upper left hand corner of the sticker with the VIN? 03/19. I did purchase FSD.

That's March 2019- so you have HW2.5

Wasn't till ~mid april they were building with HW3 (and some SRs still were getting 2.5 it seems after that)

You can remove the plate underneath your glove box (the one that houses the area lighting LED) and look at the unit itself. Take a look at the model number, then do a google search for the model number you have. There is/are thread(s) about what model number equals 2.5 and what model number equals 3.0.

I'll see if I can find one of those threads...

Edit: Here you go.

While this is true, a lot of people, especially enthusiasts want to know details like that. Same thing with the birth date of the car for example. It really means nothing exactly which day it was produced, but some people go out of their way to get that info.

I thought the sentry cam video format (codec) was different between HW versions?

Not anymore. As of 28.3, HW 2.5 and HW 3.0 both record in the same codec.

3.0 and 20.4.4, 06/2019 build.

My car is a March 2019 build date that I ordered and picked up at the April with FSD. It has a HW3 computer stamped with a late Dec 2018 date

Build Date 3/19 HW3?

The above link also refers to another thread that helps identifying HW3
