I recently purchased a used 2016 Model S P100D (AP2.0) direct from Tesla. During the time it took between when I committed to the car and the delivery, I was asking questions of the sales person that I was assigned to. One of my questions was regarding if the car was going to eventually be upgraded to HW3 as Tesla is doing to these cars and if so when that might happen.
His answer was:
"The car will be eligible for the HW3 microchip upgrade when that is available later this Fall. No extra cost is needed for this, as your car already has “Full Self Driving Capability” unlocked and built into the car’s pricing."
From this answer does this seem to state that the car has FSD? From what I can tell, the car only seems to exhibit the abilities of "Basic Autopilot". It does not do the auto lane change or does it list summon, park or the other FSD features on the Autopilot screen. When I look at the available upgrades for the car it lists "Full Self Driving" and the $7000 price.
So, It seems that the car does not have FSD... But from the sales persons answer it seems to still be on the list of cars to be upgraded to HW3 later this year. I thought only the cars with FSD were getting this? Does anyone out there understand the terminology of the sales persons answer? I'm assuming that he was are looking at good information for my specific car. Could it be that Tesla pulled the FSD off of this car before reselling it to me? I'm just trying to make sure that the car has all that it should have.
I have attempted to contact the sales person regarding this a few times by email and phone with on response.
Thanks for any enlightenment some of you may have regarding this.
