So I was hoping to update with good news, but unfortunately it seems like bad news.
I received this text close to 6pm from the Service Center.
"Hello Neil, this is Yvette from Tesla. I am reaching out to you regarding your vehicle. We attempted to install the FSD computer, however, it does not match the connectors to the car computer module. We do recommend replacing the module [Faulty Driver Assistance Module]. And once the FSD computer arrives that is configured to your vehicle we can install it. At the moment, we don't have an ETA on the FSD computer will be released to your vehicle configuration."
Keep us updated. Yours would be the first known HW2 upgrade to HW3 done by Tesla. Many others have tried but had their appointments cancelled.
Looks like it's still not possible.
Will they have to change the cameras too?
I hope not, but unfortunately the data supports no conclusions at this time.
Wow, first HW2.0. So we can put all these discussions about refunds for HW2.0 owners to rest. Like to know if they change camera's, radar or even MCU. What other benefits do you get like Sentry Mode with recording?
I was hoping for Sentry/Dashcam w/USB capabilities, but alas, no confirmation yet.
Did they give you a time estimate on when you'd get the vehicle back? Also, which service center?
Their time estimate was 4 days, but they gave up after 5 hours it seems.
heck yeah what state you live in?
SoCal - Tesla Service Santa Monica/West LA on Santa Monica Blvd.
oooh, is this the first AP2.0 retrofit to 3.0?
It would've been
Yeah, you’re definitely going to need to give us more info on this! I don’t mean to be rude, but you’re sure you have AP2.0? Also, you’re sure that they’re upgrading you to 3.0? If “yes, absolutely” to both, we need to know what service center is actually doing this. Also, we’d like to see a copy of the work order once you have it.
I just today talked to my service center about this upgrade (prior to seeing your post) and they said they haven’t heard anything about it being done. Granted, they’ve also told me that they sometimes find out about this stuff when customers tell them about it so that doesn’t mean too much.
No offense taken. Yes, my XP100D w/VIN 055844 is AP2.0 and MCU1. I have had a faulty AP Module since Sentry Mode (w/o USB) killed my AP Computer and 12V Battery back in July/Aug 2019. So ever since then I've had "Cruise Control Unavailable" and no AP whatsoever.
So how many of your Model X vehicles have MCU1+AP2?
If you have more of them have they scheduled those as well? Or just the broken one?
If you have more AP2 vehicles with FSD you should draw a little tiny dot on all the cameras to see if they replace them.
4/6 of my Xes are AP2.0+MCU1 (1/6 has AP1 and 1/6 (also AP1) was totaled earlier in 2019). Sadly my X P100D is the only one with the broken AP2.0 Module.
The Service center wants $1681+tax to replace the AP2.0 Module. This is ridiculous, considering that the vehicle was within warranty during the Sentry Mode failure, and it will be replaced with AP3.0 (supposedly within 3 months), which I paid for pre-delivery.
Let's see what happens when I chat with service tomorrow.
