FSD Beta for legacy Model S/X with MCU1 (2022.8.10.8)

[TessieRed]

Hello all. I am excited and relieved to say with update 2022.8.10.8 Tesla has brought FSD Beta to Legacy S and X owners with MCU1.

I downloaded the update hit the button and was told my cameras needed replacement?

I’m a bit confused because I’m already on HW 3.0 and had my cameras upgraded.

I made an appointment for the service center for 12/12/22

Just downloaded this myself, same situation, upgraded to HW3 but didn't think they upgraded my cameras. Let us know how it goes!!

I’ll be sure to respond with an update. I have to drive 100 miles to achieve the safety score so I got time to kill until the appointment.

Thanks! I just set up an appointment as well, earliest on a day that would work for me was Saturday the 17th. Hoping mobile can come out and do it sooner.

Message early this morning from service-

Message early this morning from service-

Yup. I got the same response from my interaction with the service team as well. .

I’m being as understanding as I can, but I’m also really annoyed we were upgraded to HW 3.0 FSD computer and then got skimped on the camera upgrade.. why not do it all then and just have us prepared for the next phase of FSD to come.

I can wait.. but how long of wait are we really looking at is my concern.. I don’t want to have pushed the button and I look up and it’s 2024 and I still have no FSD Beta..

We went through this a few weeks ago.....

Unable to get FSD betas due to camera upgrade

 

[TessieRed]

So were you able to utilize FSD Beta? In your post you said we will receive updates, but can’t access the final production of FSD Beta until the upgrade in the first half of ‘23.

That’s a long time… I feel like now I’m being constantly scored on my safety for something I can’t even use for 6 months? That’s pretty lame..

Having the ability to request FSD beta on an MCU1 car is an important step, but is not the same as "FSD beta works on MCU1 cars now". In particular there hasn't yet been a demonstrated case of this working yet. The thread title has been edited to keep members from reading too much into the thread.

I believe they were not willing to
Admit the cameras needed replaced back at that time. Probably still looking for alternatives.

That’s fine. I started this thread to discuss what having the FSD Beta button actually means and to see if anyone has actually had success and is driving FSD BETA on MCU1. It wasn’t my intention to misleading at all.

 

[Cheburashka]

What is the point of the beta button?

I thought they don't do the safety score anymore and everyone who requests it gets it, except for MCU1 folks.

 

[TessieRed]

That’s what I’m saying. Tesla does things assbackwards at times. But only to us, for them its playing the long game. I would bet my bottom dollar FSD Beta probably wasn’t even ready for us MCU1 Folks.

This whole upgrade thing is just to buy them a bit more time and shut us up if you ask me.

Yay!!!! A button to remind me of what I still can't get! Tesla...you're so awesome!!!! I love you!!!

You know what I think is hilarious is the button is included in a fractional revision of 2010.8.10.6 software. Literally all they did was change the .6 to .8 and put a button that doesn't do anything. So, now technically they're in the clear since, "anyone who purchased FSD can request FSD Beta by the end of the year"

 

[TessieRed]

You got it.

The chances of us getting those camera upgrades soon is slim. I REALLY want to know if there is ANY Legacy MCU1 owners who is currently using FSD Beta..

They better give us HW4 for all this bs.

Colorado Springs Service Center...

Are they lazy or just uneducated??? I'm 50/50...

 

[TessieRed]

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. My service guy was pretty knowledgeable.

He pretty much described a chain of release if that makes sense.

1st: Engineering team makes vehicles eligible for camera replacement upgrade in “batches”.

2nd: Service team allocates parts after green light from engineering team and emails for upgrades go out for us to schedule.

This further strengthens my theory that FSD Beta is not capable on MCU1 yet if clearance is still needed by the engineering team…

Clearance should have been made when the button was released if it was actually ready.

The technician's response seems to be assuming your vehicle is HW1 with a single front camera (monocam) and no repeater cameras. Maybe they got confused about HW1 vs MCU1 whereas you have HW2 cameras and previously did HW2 computer -> FSD upgrade already I believe?

Yeah. Even my service rep told me the engineering team hasn’t cleared us for the cameras which means we really aren’t cleared for FSD Beta. The button was just all figurative at this point I believe.

Nothing more than a commitment to work on it in the coming months. I hope and pray for Christmas we get those cameras.

We will get B pillar cameras replacements though so that’s cool.

I'm going to play Mr optimist and say it does work on MCU1. They've done (hopefully extensive) testing, and that's how they know that cameras need updating before it can officially roll out to us. Or maybe I'm just a sucker.
