Do you need to have FSD to request HW3. I have 2.5 in the model 3
Yes you need to purchase FSD to get the upgrade to HW3 from 2.5.

Did you turn them on in settings?
I tried to get tesla to loan me acceleration boost until I get my hw3 upgrade. I have enhanced autopilot and basically the $4000 given has seen no return yet. The agent said they can, as once the car gets the acceleration boost it can't be taken away unless the car is opened up blahblahblah. Okay, that's why it was removed after I refunded it the first time... Really pissed to get such a bs response from the rep... Gonna try to ask another agent... Or should I ask the service center?
Just picked up my car. HW3 upgrade complete!And they did not reach out to me when they opened back up. I scheduled a new appointment and was initially told that they didn't have any parts and that the service center would reach out to me when they were available.
This was obviously standard boilerplate, so I asked them what happened to the parts they had for my previous, confirmed, appointment. They responded by scheduling me for June 2.
We'll see if it gets cancelled again. This is my fourth attempt at getting this computer changed out, with two (so far) confirmed ahead of time (the other two were "no parts" early cancellations).
Hope you're getting your service today! I just had my appointment for Friday pushed out by two weeks for the third time...So, just called my Tesla SC to see if they have the parts in stock for my June 4th appt. Put me on hold for the longest 3 minutes lol. Came back and....parts are allocated for my vehicle. I asked if that means they are in stock and he said yes they are here. Didn't seem to happy on the call. They must be crazy busy.
So, seems like I am getting the HW3 upgrade next Thursday! Cannot wait!
Other people here have had different experiences, but I personally lost everything except the "phone as key" link (i.e. I could still unlock and drive the car using only my phone as a key). I had to enter the name of my car again, create a new driver profile, save the position of my seat, return all settings back to the way I liked them, re-enter home address and work address into the nav system, etc. Still not sure I got them all back where they were, but pretty close now.What data/settings can I expect to lose one I'm upgraded?

How did you manage to talk to a human at your SC? When I try I just end up going down a menu rat hole, and eventually the system just hangs up...
Sorry, I thought it was today. Hope all goes smoothly.Looks good for tomorrow .
My SC is newer. Maybe they aren't as busy yet.

@smjbh5: So to answer your question: it depends. My HW3 upgrade was performed in my driveway end of April and required about 90 minutes. My VIN is 444xx. I do know that there was a cooling hose change/addition. I don't know if the tech changed out any electrical wiring. The only things I "lost" were my WiFi password, pairing to my phone and my Netflix login. Kept my odometers, driver profiles, radio favorites, registered keycards and fob, etc.I had my HW3 upgrade a couple weeks ago. It went exceptionally smoothly. No data was lost, not even my seat preferences! Took them just over 2 hours.

Does your SC give you the option to talk to a human? I couldn't find a way in...
I lost everything expect the phone key. Had to reset mirrors, drivers seat, headlight settings, garage door opener, reconnect to wifi, my maps also had to be re downloaded, the autopilot cameras have to be re-calibrated, sign back in to Spotify, Netlfix, etc, home/work addresses had to be re-entered. Basically ALL your settings are gone and reset to factory default.What data/settings can I expect to lose one I'm upgraded?
So all done with my upgrade! Dropped off at 9am and was done before 2pm. Only lost wifi and Bluetooth connection.
Issue I am having now is even after I got the latest maps I cannot turn on the lights and stop sign beta. It's greyed out and I cannot turn it on.
I've read it could take a few hours to activate or overnight.
Others have said getting the maps update after the SC does the FW update and not the other way around could be the issue.
I powered off the car twice and that did nothing.
Any ideas?
Most up to date . I checked and it's the 2020 update.
Maybe 10 miles. Do I need to calibrate before I can even turn it on?
