Currently driving a 2018 MS (MCU2 HW2.5 EAP). Thinking about upgrading ($1000) to HW3 and trying FSD before purchasing ($2000 currently). I am aware there are multiple threads on similar topics which are either non-MS threads or threads from 2021 as well as lots of conflicting answers posted so please no spear throwing.
1. What is specifically gained/lost (good or bad) with HW3 and FSD? Example, I've read you lose radar, I've heard (from my dealer) you dont lose radar. What specific FSD functions do I gain? Stop signs? etc
2. What is specifically gained/lost (good or bad) with HW3 and keeping EAP? Ive read better lane changing, speed limit sign reading (which my MS currently does sporadically whether based on geo-location or camera I dont know). Phantom breaking issues resolved? Stop light detection? (I do get some already in certain scenarios).
I dont mind paying $1000 for the hardware upgrade as long as the experience isnt worse regardless if I go to FSD or stay with EAP (hence the trial subscription). I just dont want to pay for something which makes the overall experience AND that Im stuck with.
Thanks in advance
