Didn't see this posted here. Granted it's still "Musk time" but I'm hoping the HW2 fleet comes out of the "shadow" this weekend!
This also increases the probability that 36 is shadow, but you are right, nobody can be sure.
Hopefully in a few days these questions will be obsolete.
@elonmusk great! Can we expect activation in the remainder of HW2 fleet soon?

@gavinnwaters Looking good so far. Should roll out this weekend.

So I am on 2.52.120 and I dont see anything new with this update. I was complaining to support about not having adaptive cruise control and he said and I quote:
"Your vehicle is currently in a calibration process and the features will be available once calibration is complete. We currently do not have a time line for when the update will become active. We appreciate your patience as your vehicle goes through this process."
So maybe there is more to the .120 then we know or this guy in support is just BS'ing me. I did not see anything and no notice that my vehicle is in calibration.

.120 is shadow mode. Pretty much what was released to the "first 1000" but without the warnings.
I'm still thinking it will be via another very small FW update that activates the features - I can't image that it would be spontaneously activated without the car owner needing to take some action.
My car was in shadow mode previously and I received an update notification today. I'll have more info after installing the update this afternoon.
It's already on the calendar to leave early.AFTERNOON?! I would be leaving work with a really good excuse like ASAP.
I was going to schedule it at work but want to be able to film and take some pictures. No cameras with me so it will have to wait until I get home.
Well that was disappointing. According to a Tesla tech, my car was already in shadow mode since the morning of 1/1 when I started hearing the fan noise from above the glove compartment. I just installed the update and am now on 2.52.120 and the release notes said it was just updates and minor bug fixes. Others with the same version have reported longer release notes, such as what I got a few weeks ago with the previous update. Hopefully this was just a quick update to get more card in sync and ready for THE big update that is coming soon.

Follow Elon's tweets and Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App. This forum isn't full of the most up-to-date factual information.
Shadow to "active" mode (like the 1000 cars), that is coming this weekend according to his latest tweet.

curious, what is the best way to get hold of a tesla tech? call support on phone?
We asked him while he was fixing our other Model S with AP1. We mentioned how we started hearing fans on 1/1 and he said that's where the new computer was located. Before 1/1 it wasn't making any noise.

Picked up our new Model S HW2 car on 12/31/16 with FW 2.50.180. On 1/15/17 we had an update to 2.52.120 however we have not heard any additional fan noise around the glove box or elsewhere. Would that indicate our S is not running in Shadow mode?
Mine was making noise on pickup on 12/23/16 (2.48.204 fw got .180 3 days later on 12/26). I noted it on delivery and the service tech said it was the new computer but did not mention shadow mode (was not in Tesla lexicon at that time). They said it was normal (I thought it was the BMS since it was FREEZING cold but that apparently has a pump not a fan).
