Tesla Software 2019.16.3

[djstarr]

I received the 2019.16.3 update this evening. For those who “know” they have HW3, how did you confirm? Are you going solely by build/delivery date or something else?

Of course, but 2019.16.2 isn't even out everywhere. There is no more testing for that load needed. Its been out for a while. Why hasn't that one been rolled out to the masses?

Because some engineer was in a hurry to leave for the long weekend and forgot to check the CA box

Also, they need to have HW3 production rate higher than Model 3 build rate before they have any extra inventory to swap hardware in existing cars.

What does a mobile service tire rotation cost?

$63. I already had them coming for a minor cosmetic fix. Figured I’d just knock it all out while they’re here.

So mine was actually 2019.16.2

Not bad actually

Software Update in progress here. I’m in Northern California.

How do I confirm what HW I have? I must have 2.0, maybe 2.5. Thx

Update just finished, 2019.16.2, not 3.

If you have a Model 3, then you’re most likely on 2.5 (unless your car was manufactured in the last month or so).

2019.16.2 has been installed on our Model 3 in Southern CA. I have no idea which hardware we have. How can that be determined?

By build date

I'm with you - I don't want any feature where the car take controls w/o my input which I can not permanently disable; this is potentially an actionable thing Tesla has done by making a material change in the behavior of the car and essentially making it mandatory. I'm hoping they reconsider ...

Taking what you said literally, means you don’t want automatic emergency braking, ABS brakes or traction control, none of which can be permanently disabled and all of which take control of the car. Is this really the case?

Reboot & try again

A lot of griping about ELDA. Has anyone here actually experienced an unsafe ELDA interaction? Or are you just worried about what might happen? I’ve not had a false positive since I’ve had the feature (about 8 days now).

I turned it off after the other day. 2 lane road, bicyclist on shoulder going opposite way with traffic. Oncoming cars going around the bicyclist and into my lane. Common courtesy around here is to hug the shoulder to let oncoming cars pass. ELDA almost swerved me into the oncoming traffic. I would have side-swiped at least one car had I not been paying attention.

Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn't worry too much. It's probably a patch for the version your on. It's not that you don't want the extra safety feature, you just don't want it to be an issue. If it is, call service and have them downgrade you.

It's impossible to downgrade Tesla firmware.

Drove around for a couple hours after my update with everything on. Not a single issue. Not to dismiss anyone's concerns.
I stand by my comment that you should contact service and let them know you don't feel safe. Maybe there is something else going on that they can address.

Thats wishful thinking. You should not expect to see those retrofits happen until there are features that are FSD only that DONT WORK on HW 2.5. Thats not nearly the same thing as "both feature sets are the same".

If they are smart they would start as soon as there is parity. As soon as there are features for HW3 which are incompatible with HW2+ then everyone wants to be upgraded at once, lot of sour grapes and a logistical nightmare.
