Seattle upgrades to HW3 have begun

[im.thatoneguy]

Scheduled a service appointment for my 3 and got this response.

Also, good news, your Hardware 3 FSD retrofit is available for installation at the Service Center if you'd like I can switch the appointment to the Bellevue, Renton or Lynwood Service Center to have that installed.

I tried that recently. Alas, my car is too "new" (Dec 2018). Hopefully it ramps up soon enough.

Do you mind if I temporarily move in with you? For address purposes only, of course.

Just got a message...for my carbon fiber spoiler 13 months after delivery. Not sure how long I would wait for HW3.

Please let us know how it works out. Really want the upgrade but it’s a 4 hour round trip to the Bellevue service center...
I’m hoping for Mobile service on this.
(There’s a service center in Lynnwood? Not on Tesla’s map)

This is the first I've heard of a Lynnwood service center. That would be great for those of us North of Seattle. Where can I get more info on this new location? Thanks!

Darn. I had work done in Bellevue 10 days ago and they never offered me HW3 upgrade that is due sometime.

I needed puncture repair but also asked them to check alignment since the tire being fixed had much more wear on the inside portion of the tread than the outside. Anyone else have such issues?

My original tires lasted 23,600 mile and were wearing that way too, with the back left noticeably more worn than the front (RWD LR3, admittedly I enjoy a little acceleration now and then).
Looks like waiting awhile for HW3 might be prudent, both so Lynnwood SC can open (hooray!) and staff can work out the installation kinks first.

Anyone else get upgraded to HW3? Curious what the highest VIN installed in the Seattle area.

Asked about my 170xxx VIN at Renton and I’m on the list but they’re only doing 2x day so told me to schedule via app for another appt.

Sadly, not true for us HW2 people.

I have an appointment next week for other work, so of course asked about HW3. I bet they get the question every day of course, but they were super nice about it. Unfortunately, looks like we’ll be waiting until Q3 or Q4 2020! Ack!

Hardware 3 is not yet available for your vehicle. We're doing Hardware 2.5 to 3 retrofits as those are the parts available and you have Hardware 2.0. We're anticipating that to become available in the next 6-8 months.​

Booked an appointment about 10 days out....hasn't been cancelled yet. We'll see what happens. VIN 80xxx

In for service for HW3 now. Renton was super slammed, they predicted Friday or even next week before I get the car back (if they're making us schedule these in advance, why do they have this problem?). No loaners either but gave me $700 of Uber credit so I'll be ok!

lol that amount of Uber credit is insane. It’s no wonder this company has a hard time making a profit.

and I agree, it’s like the service appointments are “drop off” times for work on future dates.
