- #model3 hw3.0 aph4
Needed to keep my vehicle over night. They are going to advise me tomorrow when I can pick up my vehicle.
Why did they replace the visor unit? Which side? So they actually install a new visor?
It's not a sun visor.
According to a Reddit thread it's some type of "shield" that is now backordered to some degree. I don't know if shield means control board like you'd add to a raspberry pi or Arduino, or like heat shield.
They didn't tell me anything about the rewire or shield it was just on the invoice.
That being said, they scheduled for one day then rescheduled for 4 days later because they were waiting on a part.
Other than the reschedule everything went smooth and I got a loaner model S for the 6 hours.
I'm just happy mine is done before the rush, and I can see cones and traffic lights now.
Here's the Reddit thread mentioning the visor:
HW3 Upgrade Failed : teslamotors
No I made another appointment in the app, and then they messaged me saying my car had been flagged for the HW3 retrofit.

My car (an August 2018 delivery), is scheduled for the HW3 update at 8:00am today. I simply made an appointment a couple weeks ago for it and they scheduled it for the new Service Center in Lynnwood, WA. We'll see if they have the parts when I get there I suppose, but for now I have to believe it will be installed as planned. I was not contacted initially - I just made the appointment and requested the upgrade. There was no push-back on the request.
As I said, I made an appointment asking for HW 3 upgrade through the Tesla app. Since I was turned down the first time I didn’t expect Tesla to do it this time either but made another appointment asking for HW3 upgrade through the Tesla app. This time they said yes. YMMV.

I took my M3P in for the HW3 upgrade yesterday and it went as planned. I dropped it off at 8:00am and it was ready at 2:00pm, with the HW3 installed. As "hcdavis3" stated in his reply, an appointment requesting the HW3 upgrade was made via the Tesla app, and they confirmed the date and location for the work. No pushback or anything. Keep in mind that a few of your settings will be lost (like my Homelink settings, driver profile, Home location on GPS, etc.) so you'll have a bit of work to do when you get the car back. I'd still do the upgrade though. It's pretty cool having the stoplights showing up on the screen as you pull up to intersections.
Sorry, so in the APP you went to the “upgrades” section and free space area you wrote that you want an the H3 upgrade you’ve paid for? How long after the second request did they contact you?
I'm not who you directed that to, but yes. I went to schedule appointment, upgrades, and in the text box said, "Checking on the status of HW3 Retrofit", I scheduled it for about 10 days out. They contacted me two days later, and scheduled a closer appointment over the phone.
No I just requested HW3 upgrade via the app. Simple as that. They contacted me after a few days. Just try requesting HW 3 upgrade on the Tesla app. Couldn’t hurt. Come on Tex, this isn’t complicated.
Ooo I'm in Columbus, Ohio as well with a November 2018 build. Might be worth tempting my fate as well, instead of waiting for them to reach out. I just assumed vin 133,XXX would be really far down on the priority list.
