Kudos to the Dania Beach Service Center for the mobile upgrade to FSD for my 2019 Model 3. The whole experience was first rate and nearly flawless. I was really impressed. When they arrived I commented that I was surprised to be able to do this at my house, and they told me this was their first mobile installation. I was worried about being the guinea pig, but everything went smoothly. Here are the details in case anyone is interested. The picture of the new HW isn't great, but thought I'd post anyhow.
- Scheduled via app July 2 (see
Full Self-Driving Computer Installations).
- Earliest date was July 22 for mobile service.
- Received followup texts on July 3 and 15.
- Received emails about every 4 days regarding the status of parts ordered.
- Received a text on morning of the install regarding weather since it was raining.
- Technician called me 30 minutes before arriving and arrived within the scheduled time window.
- Received a text when they pulled up and another once they left.
- Took them 1 hour 25 minutes.
- There were 2 people originally (wearing masks) and another in second vehicle showed up later for some reason.
- All settings were saved except for Bluetooth and Homelink.
- The technician texted me later that day to tell me that I may have to reprogram the Bluetooth and Homelink (since she had told me they were able to save all settings).
- They also replaced coolant as mine was low and the computer needs it. There was a puddle on the floor after they left, but no big deal. I actually texted the service center and the technician (since I didn't know at the time why it was there). Both responded promptly and explained what it was for and that it must have spilled.
After less then stellar experiences on initial vehicle delivery and a couple other service center experiences (mainly filthy loaner cars inside and out), this was finally the type of service I'd expect from Tesla. Oh and the new FSD features are pretty cool too!
