Unless something has changed no one with Enhanced AP should have HW3. HW3 was included after basic AP was introduced.

Just received the update a short while ago and went for a spin. Power increase is more noticeable to me than the previous upgrade. I feel that pedal mapping may have been tweaked also.
I like the hold feature.
I was hoping that the infotainment system behavior would change when requesting a song. Previously it would just play, now it doesn't. If you only have one option (no Spotify), it should just play automatically from the only source you have available. That's the way it used to work, but a minor gripe in the scheme of things.

I’m HW2.5. Trust me there are cones. Had 3 different construction zones with conesI’m HW 2.5 and we don’t need no stinkin cones

Agreed. My butt dyno can feel the change. I wish I had one of those 0-60 testers. Does anyone know if any of the phone based ones are any good?
So I'm curious: I've read that you need HW3 to get cone visualization... do you actually require HW3, or just the FSD software option to have been purchased? I think the article clearly shows the cones present without AP activated... so the question is, do you actually need HW3, or just FSD?

Having driven manual transmission cars for most of my life, Creep just isn't for me. I want the car to do only what I ask it to do with the accelerator pedal. No press, no go.
Also, I don't see how a combination of Creep and Hold would work. You are approaching a red light... so you lift off the accelerator and the car comes to a complete stop. Now... how do you get it to creep? Your foot is aready off of both pedals and the car is stopped.

Well, in defense of Creep (yeah yeah, I know) with reference to manual transmissions, if you were parallel parking on any kind of hill, you could ride the brake with the clutch down because at that point gravity is giving you the "Creeping." I know that's how we ALL parked with our manuals.
I think a combination of Hold and Creep would be great - but as you said - it's VERY difficult to implement this without confusion, so the likelihood is this never, ever happens.. This was discussed a bit before this release was even out to Early Access people. But just because we used to drive differently with a manual transmission doesn't make it *better.* Modern system are far, far better/faster/reliable/safer than manuals ever were. That's why manuals are going the way of the dodo. And that's from someone who swore he'd never have a non-manual because they were so crappy/slow/slushy/uncontrollable. Guess what? Times change. So referencing manuals as some sort of god-like interactive method for an automobile is just silly.
Anyhoo. I bet if we did a poll of whether people would like a "Parking Mode" button appearing on the screen, a lot of people would love that.
But, it almost certainly won't happen. So I'm going to continue to use Hold mode because I DO think it's better than Creep in most cases. There are just those dastardly edge cases where it's not, which is a bummer.
I don’t have AP or FSD. Prior to April 2019 Auto Pilot was an option.Does your 3 have FSD purchased though? (ie maybe it's because you're only AP, not FSD). Made a separate thread with a detailed poll to try and tease out what exactly is required to get the cones to show up... feel free to vote
post the link or your poll.

I love the new hold mode. It only moved when you command it to.
With creep it moves on its own, with Roll it moves on its own by gravity.
Hold mode moves when you tell it and stops when you don't, much more sensible (for me at least)
Definitely noticed the extra performance.
As an aside, did anyone else feel that the steering in sport mode is a little heavier?

Poll RE: what HW/software combo you need to see traffic cones:
Those cones doe!
Also having this master thread is SUPER confusing because you've got like 7 different conversations happening in the same thread that are very hard to follow... maybe it's ok to have separate threads discussing different parts of the new update?

It’s nice to start seeing HW3 specific features rolling out.
