HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

[derotam]

Personally, I think I am just going to wait until they have coded the software specifically for HW3.

On the other hand, if I can get it done early I would avoid the rush for it that will happen as soon as the first new HW3 required feature gets released.

I have my car in for service now and asked to have FSD computer to be installed at the same time, so they are working on it now!!!

Seriously?! If so you may be the first one known.

You misunderstand the nature of a neural network. There is no "coding" difference here -- there is a difference in the depth of the neural net that can be effectively run -- in the case of 2.5 vs. 3, that relates to whether the NN is fed the full detail from all 8 cameras or a massive initial reduction in the resolution of most cameras, because HW 2.5 cannot effectively process the HD stream from 8 cameras and make real time decisions from that input.

In short, if you have HW3, it's already being utilized by the EAP and FSD features. There are obviously some capabilities they won't even try to deploy to HW 2.5 of course, and that may be what you mean by "coded".

Interesting. Keep us updated and take a pic.

Please let us know what happens. Would be the first confirmed retro-fit of the FSD computer.

I find it hard to believe that they would upgrade hardware for something that doesn't exist. Especially after Elon "watching over wasted" expenses.

You misunderstand my basic lazy use of the word "coding"

And Elon has even said that the software has not been "refined" for HW3 yet.

Edit: Elon said on March 30th "For now, it’s slightly disadvantageous to have Tesla FSD computer, as our software is more refined for HW2" Has that all been fixed yet, who knows.

LOL, pictures, I don't think the hardware would be something i can take a picture of.

That is what I requested them to do and they said they will upgrade my system for the FSD.

When do you pick up the car? The paperwork should list what was performed with part numbers and such.

Is it possible they thought you were asking for the FSD software option to be purchased and installed and not the FSD hardware?

 

[xfea]

How do you know that HW3 will work for FSD if it doesn't exist?

FSD was supposed to work on AP1, then AP2, then AP2.5

Well . . cause elon said so!

I was at the Oceanside service center yesterday for something unrelated. I asked about the hardware upgrade, they said that they didn't have parts and had not done any. I did get my spoiler though!

 

[Dutchie]

Apparently, the software works better on cars with HW3 now when compared to HW2.X

As was mentioned on the other thread where this video was also posted, this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with HW3

We have AP2, AP2.5 and AP3 and don't notice anything different. Currently, they all perform equally for us.

So did you get HW 3 installed at that visit? I don’t believe that will happen. I was at my local service center yesterday and asked for the HW3 upgrade. We both had a good laugh.

It wasn't confirmed that the firmware revision was the same, so...

 

[Janus]

Yeah, the real test is two cars of the same model, running the same OS version, but with AP2.5 and AP3; all on the same road. Otherwise there are too many variables.
