HW2.5 even after April 12th build date

[llluis]

My AWD was built in June and I have codec H265. I didn’t order FSD.

Forgot to mention I did order the FSD... The only real impact is the customer experience... I would like to have the HW3 already instead of going to SC to have it installed someday in the future.

It looks like in April all models went to HW3 but that later SR+ and some LR RWD reverted to HW2.5 (while AWD models tend to have HW3).

I have an email from a delivery manager saying i have 3.0

Since the codec might not be fool proof, how can I confirm from the car?

You can lower the piece of trim in the footwell behind the glove box (there are three or four push-pins) and take a photo of the part number through the slit with a phone camera. But the codec's pretty foolproof: HW2.5 doesn't have hardware support for H.265, HW3.0 does.

ok. Will do. I might just cheat and ask the mobile tech when I see them this week

Please excuse me for quoting myself.

I got around to taking a photo of the sticker of the computer in back of the glovebox.

The numbers on the sticker are similar to the above mentioned numbers and the stamped 1465773-00-C is the same.
The build date is December 12, 2018. That appears to be an early date.

I am thinking my car is HW 3. Which is nice because I bought it with FSD

Here is a photo for an Australian RHD built July 9th 2019, delivered September 12th 2019 (6th car in the state of Victoria).
There was an actual sticker nearby with the option code printed (quite hard to reach to take a photo), it removes any ambiguities as to which version it is: APH4 Autopilot hardware V3

Exactly how do I remove panels to get to computer?

Underneath the glove box, in front of the front passenger seat. You'll see 3 plastic pins, pull the centre part out (using finger or flat screw driver). Make sure to only pull the centre and whole thing will come off.

Then insert your hand in there and slid it up. There are 5 plastic bit holding the panel just below the glove box opening. Pull slowly but hard, it will need some force, and it can't break.

Then pull the whole panel out horizontally to dislodge the bottom of the panel.

To put back, do the opposite. Insert the bottom first, push hard below the glove box.

Thanks I got to it. And yes I have a HW2.5 built in June SR+ with FSD. Interestingly in the service parts manual, there now shows 3 different computers, HW 2.5, HW3, and the HW3 retrofit. Will just have to wait for the retrofit then.

Ordered early last week... when I go into my Tesla account and click "Upgrade AP"... FSD Computer is listed as included upgrades. I wonder if this is something that wasn't changed over or if they reverted back to 2.5.

I have LR AWD FSD built in August (SN #469XXX) and H.264 codec. Unless Tesla switched back to HW2.5, I don't know what that could mean.

they did.
The H265 (HEVC) vs H264 (AVC) test mentioned in various places is no longer valid.

bump. found out today that I have 2.5 (through the about screen) even though I bought my SR built May 19. Also I was told multiple reps that it had 3.0

Same boat here. I'm quite upset about being lied to, but there's really no recourse.

A buddy took delivery last fall of a SR+ With a 9/19 build date and his car has a 2.5 mcu too. He scheduled an appt through the app (even though he didn’t pay for FSD) and it looks like they’re upgrading him. Will try to confirm next week?

surprised they’re upgrading him w/o FSD

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Don’t worry, there’s still *plenty* of time for Tesla to drop the ball on this lol

yeah I'm curious about his justification.

Well they have started doing TM3 , HW3 upgrades in Canada now. If you have FSD, you could try booking an appointment.

Last week I saw that somebody in BC got their HW3 upgrade. This was the first one in Canada I was aware of. So on Thursday morning, i booked and appointment to get my TM3 (June build) done, expecting it to be cancelled. Thursday evening I got a confirmation to get the work done at the Toronto Mississauga service center on ambassador Drive. As of Saturday, it still stands, though I will be pleasantly surprised, if it is not cancelled by Tuesday.
