Steam integration for Model S built after Feb 2022 only?

[WilliamG]

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”..

I don’t think that’s quite the same. And yes, it does have gaming equivalent (sort of) to a PS5. You can see that performance in the Beach Buggy Racing, - much smoother than the Model 3/Y versions etc. I think that Tesla wasn’t explicit enough in what they “advertised” for there to be a lawsuit, but I’m no lawyer.

Should be free! Going to be very unhappy if I have to pay for it.

I really, really don’t think screenshots of Cyberpunk and Witcher 3 can be answered with “Beach Buggy Racing runs smoother, so we gave what was advertised.”

That would be a bit rich, even for Elon.

Would it, though? I mean, look at FSD…

Oh, and the 200mph Plaid. Near 2 years later and nope, AND you now have to buy more stuff to achieve it… someday.

And all of that is shitty and wrong and why customers have decreasing faith in Tesla.

February 12th build - can confirm I received Steam!

Have you tried it yet? What controller are you using? How's the performance?

And you’ll get zero argument from me.

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!

I confirmed we have 16 GB of Infotainment RAM as well, which others said wasn't added until February 2022.

How did you confirm the 16GB? My car was delivered in February but built end of January so I’m really curious if I have 8 or 16.

Go to Software and then tap on Additional Vehicle Information. There's a line that now shows Infotainment RAM: 16 GB (if you have the most recent update).

Ahh ok thanks, the S is on the FSD beta build so will probably get the update in 2 weeks (6 months).

I wish they wouldn’t waste their time on this stuff - specifically the future promises. Just digging holes.

 

[JeffTutorialsY]

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

Yes, old lights indeed!

Yeah. We don't have it on the X which is on the FSD Beta build. Unfortunately, it will probably be a while before vehicles with FSD Beta gets it.

My car got delivered in Jan of 2022, I can confirm steam working and installed on my car. Looks like it's SteamOS (same as the steamdeck), my car also has the old lights/charge port as well.

Things are looking up for my January 2022 build ...

I have an early Feb 2022 build MS but on FSD beta so it’s anyone’s guess when this would drop.

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

This is somewhat infuriating, as it was all over the marketing materials when I ordered the Model S I received in September 2021. I wonder how much we'll be charged to retrofit and get what we were originally promised.

 

[Xenopotamus]

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.

Now this is interesting! I received my Model S 3 months earlier and I am doubting I will be receiving this update.

Clearly a retrofit is not available 'yet' because Tesla Service just canceled the service request I made to get it done.
