It is hard to guess when Tesla might choose to offer either one. AFAIK, those two items have come up for discussion, but nothing has been announced. If I were to guess, I'd say somewhere between next month and never.

Not worth the wait, especially, that there is a good chance these features will also come with a price increase that does not even worth the added benefits of these features.

I think they are worth it but should have been included. But what’s really missing is the USS. Doors, trunk and parking don’t work on NEWER vehicles

How does the lack of USS affect the falcon doors? Is there a YouTube video demonstrating, that is very concerning.

Falcon doors still have ultrasound and work the same as prior. The front doors don't open fully any longer but instead open slightly. Parking distances are inaccurately calculated using the cameras.

Thanks for explaining, good to know the falcons are untouched. To be fair I did not find the sensors on the front doors to be very accurate so I disabled the full open anyways on the '22 I had for a few weeks.

Yeah it's the parking distance that is concerning. Hopefully they can improve on that.

I fully expect it (improvement) to happen in short order. Just because we've become used to it does not mean we can't live without it temporarily.

We just placed an order for MXLR on 9/30. Does that mean it will get HW4?

Yes all Xs have HW4 at this point

This gives me some hope the wiring might already be there. He said Tesla has been very good about not including things in firmware unless it was already on the line or soon to be. Because he'd find it.
