Steam integration for Model S built after Feb 2022 only?

[d1ez3]

So I see in the Christmas update we're getting Steam finally as promised. But it looks like it's only working in cars built after February 2022. Is this not false advertising on Tesla's part? This was in the promotion material from early 2021

Seems like it is only for mid-Febuary+ cars. Will earlier cars get a MCU retrofit? I'm curious.

I thought we all had the new MCU, was this known?

They switched from 8gb to 16gb of ram and from 128gb to 256gb of storage in mid-February I believe

Weird question but how do you know if you have a car built after mid Feb? I don't see a screen showing ram or storage specs.

That is very annoying!!! Unacceptable considering it was advertised at launch.

I'm a lil salty about this.,.. Took delivery august 2021...i guess this is what og FSD ppl feel like

Im salty as well, another thread where someone indicated free MCU3 upgrade to 16gb. Hopefully this proves to be true considering all the hype pre delivery.

False advertising, this was advertised as an upcoming feature when I ordered the car. took delivery in late january

Oh yeah? Do you remember which thread that was? That's good if true

 

[funkatation]

Yes would love to see!

Brand new thread over here. Nothing but rumors at this point

Will that Yes go by the way of the Horn button fix? I don’t believe anything Elon says any more.

P.S. He didn’t say if it would be free either.

February 12th build - can confirm I received Steam!

Where was the car advertised as having Steam? I'm really interested to see if the retrofit is free, but my gut feeling tells me it won't be.

It was advertised with Cyberpunk running on the screen in numerous materials - one of the more demanding games out there. No, not Steam specifically, but Elon advertised “Gaming equivalent to a PS5”..

Our 12/2021 build 2022 Model S can now run Steam with the update installed last night. We'll be testing it out this afternoon.

That’s good news, as you are clearly before the refreshed-refresh period in mid Feb. I am just before that cutoff by about a week, with the old lights. I won’t get the update for awhile as I’m on FSD Beta, but it sounds like there may be some hope for early refresh!

Do you have old head/taillights or new? Just wondering whether your car is refreshed-refresh or not.
