You will get 3.0Are current US cars getting the 2.5HW as well? Has anyone recently taken delivery? I’m expecting a car in 2-4 weeks (I did not purchase FSD upfront).
Thanks

Depends what your sales tax rate is on auto purchase vs other purchases...You might come out behind If the former is lower.It's much better than cash- unlike the entire car, you can put FSD on a credit card and get a bunch back in rewards for the spending.

Unless the amount puts it over the state rebate purchase cost limit 100% this!yup. We pay 0% sales tax here in NJ, so that’s 6.625% savings. I’d need a card that does better than that. And even then, I don’t think I would, simply because there’s no better feeling than sticking it to the government.

Valid point if you’re a churner (unless you’ve already hit and run every bonus out there, lol)7k could knock out a couple of signup bonuses if you can split payment.. or at least one pretty good one if you can't.
So talking like ~$850-900 taken as cash, which beats 6.625% by quite a bit.... and potentially several thousand dollars if you use the reward points for travel instead.
(if you can split payment you're talking like another $500-600 more as cash, or again 2-5 times that used for travel.)
If you bought it, schedule service in your app, ask for it. No harm. As per the thread above, people are getting lucky. The consensus is that there isn't a VIN restriction anymore, and it's more based upon the speed and availability of your service center.I guess I'll never get my HW3 upgrade now.
I've had people swear up and down "Elon said everything after April 2019 came with HW3.0!" but it's flat out not true. No matter what anyone says. It's only true (potentially) if you purchased FSD with your car after April 2019.
Elon Musk April 22 2019 said:All cars being produced all have the hardware necessary — computer and otherwise — for full self-driving
I mean, he literally said that, so it flat out IS true.
He didn't say "just the cars that have FSD paid option" he said all cars.
He didn't say "Have the ability to swap in the hardware necessary" he said HAVE it.
I like Elon as much as the next guy- but sometimes he does say things that turn out not to be true. This is one of em.
Tesla website said:Full Self-Driving Hardware
Every new Model 3 comes standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features today, and full self-driving capabilities in the future—through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.
Nowadays you can just see in the software, thankfully.
