Hi All,
I took delivery of my Model 3 Performance last week, simply the best car I've ever owend by any measure. Absolutely love it. My first post here, don't worry, I know this topic has been covered a lot on this forum. I've researched it, but couldn't find the information I needed.
I wanted to figure out if my vehicle came with HW3 installed. Delivery was a bit chaotic and the delivery staff couldn't tell me if it was installed or not. I've researched online and checked my vehicle, but I'm a bit confused. First, a couple of details about the vehicle:
Model 3 Performance (EU version)
FSD not purchased
Production date: 07/2019
VIN: 420XXX
Software: 2019.32.2.1
In my research I've found the following indicators:
1. Production date (later than april 2019)
2. Partnumber on the computer (should give definitive confirmation)
3. Codec of video for TeslaCam (H.265 used to indicate HW3, but everybody seems to be back to H.264 now)
4. Software version (seems highly disputed if this actually tells you anything)
My results:
1. Production date of late july 2019 = positive
2. Partnumber on computer is 1462554-01-H = positive (matches HW3 partnumer in EPC)
3. Codec of video is H.264 = inconclusive (see above)
4. Didn't really bother researching this very much
So the conclusion should be: my vehicle has HW3 installed, based on the production date and partnumber. However, I'm not so sure. Check out the images: it clearly shows the 'right' partnumber on the sticker, but the date and partnumber (1465773-01-D) stamped on the computer seem to indicate production was way before introduction of HW3 (17/12/18). There's also another sticker on the computer that shows yet another partnumber (1527963-01).
I couldn't find any further details on the other partnumbers or what the date is supposed to mean. Is it even a date?
Any feedback is highly appreciated, thanks!
