OOooOo I just did that and chose another service center let’s see how it goes
I have enhanced autopilot and have just got my computer upgraded for free in San Diego

Can confirm I did my HW3 upgrade for free. Already had EAP. Posted message but never followed up after picking up from SC. Definitely free. Subscribed to FSD for $99/mo.
Tegra/ARM MCU1 uses less power than Intel Atom MCU2 which uses less than the Ryzen S/X MCUZ/3 plus GPU.
To be fair, MCU2 and above don’t have a separately powered instrument cluster (ICU). I suspect Tegra/ARM MCU1 plus Tegra/ARM ICU together use less power than Intel Atom MCU2. Also, some sleep states wake the MCU1 but not the ICU.
Not sure if the Intel Atom MCU2 uses more than the Ryzen 3/Y MCUZ/3 without GPU.

You guy know that all these machinations are all for naught, since HW 4.0 is coming out! Right?

Is it possible to go 2.50-> 4?

Nobody knows since there's no official info on what "4" actually is....even that link appears to be from some early testing docs and incomplete as heck.
Certainly if it's just replacing cameras in existing locations and the driving computer it's likely it's possible.
What'd make it harder (though not impossible) would be if there's additional camera locations that don't exist on cars today.
I hope TSLA learned their lessons from HW2.0 obsolescence, unless it's planned. BTW I'm looking at used Model X and the minimum I'm looking for will have 2.5,so asking for my 3 and future X.
TSLA is so good at SW OTA upgrades, they need to make their MCUs/HW plug and play modular/removable.
What will make it really hard is that the HW3 format for pre 2021.5 S/X is now legacy wheras the newer S/X and all 3/Y plug into the liquid cooled MCU.
It is possible the thermal envelope of HW4 won’t work for legacy S/X, even if they wanted to make HW4 in a second form factor.

I realized that lol, but the HW4 upgrade is only sensors not the computer. I’ll wait and see if upgrading to HW3 computer will include the HW4 sensor suite too, in that case I’d pay for it no questions asked.You guy know that all these machinations are all for naught, since HW 4.0 is coming out!

If you mean the elusive self driving hardware refresh, I doubt Tesla releases new cameras without the new HW4 computer.
have you met the average human? It's all relative.
And I've driven Tesla's FSD, which was supposed to have gone 100% full-self driving in 2019.
It still sucks and fails routinely.
Claiming that HW3 " I'm confident that Hardware 3 will so far exceed the average -- the safety of the average human" is total and shameless BS.
Do you have any reasons to disagree with my conclusion?
