What do we want to know from the first person to get AP2.0?
- Thread starter Dstrohl
- Start date
I ordered in April and delayed until October. Then in August, I delayed it until December...so 8 months total.

This was purely the coil issue. As you probably know, MX was originally optioned for either coil or smart air suspension (SAS) like the MS. We chose coil, Tesla prioritized SAS for the early builds. Then they dropped the coil option in October and moved the remaining coil holdouts to SAS or they refunded their deposits.
I have on order a red P100D with white interior and all the AP2 hardware (I bought the options for full self driving). It is on a truck on the way to south Florida and I am scheduled to pick it up on November 16th.
I think it will be the first AP2 Model S delivered in Dania Beach. It may also be the first with the white interior.
I'll post some pictures of the AP2 cameras and sensors once I take delivery.
I hope it also has the latest P100D easter egg software to "uncork all the performance."

Congrats! Looks like you are the first to confirm a delivery for an AP2 vehicle on this forum!
I would be interested in those nVidia Drive PX2 boxes (the full autonomous mode requires multiple units), their placement, possibly the linkage type to the cameras and sensors as well as their cooling arrangement.
I know I'm asking for tricky stuff, probably due to their placement most probably in the frank area, but this kind of pics have great potential...

Well it requires multiple units if you are using the NVidia software kit, which Tesla has said they aren't using. It would still make sense to have redundancy, but Tesla hasn't said that there is more than one.
My P100D (blue with white interior) was supposed to be delivered end of Oct, and now it is planned for sometime this week (in the Bay Area). It has the new hardware. An email from my DS this afternoon said "My Quality Control team had let me know that there are a few extra tests involved with the new Autopilot hardware that comes on the vehicles so this phase is expected to take just a bit more time. He stated that these tests will probably take a few days and he will keep me updated throughout the week once it completes."

Congrats, you will probably be one of the first in the Bay Area. Maybe I'll be first AP2 P100D in Sacramento, order confirmed 9.19
I was just telling a friend today that I have not seen a single P100D in the Bay Area yet, which is surprising given the large number of Teslas. Anybody know how many deliveries to date and what % by state?Congrats, you will probably be one of the first in the Bay Area. Maybe I'll be first AP2 P100D in Sacramento, order confirmed 9.19
Tesla are using a single PX2 box I'm 99% sure. I appreciate nVidia are saying this isn't sufficient for full self driving.
Why do I think this? Tesla said in the PR for Autopilot 2 there was a 40x increase in compute power. PX2 is rated at 8TFlops. The MobileyeQ3 is rated at 400GFlops. This all links in neatly to being a single PX2.
Where are these kinds of things stashed in the Tesla's (normally at least?) Is there a "rack" of gear somewhere? or are they stashed all over?
Gonna place my order tomorrow so stoked!
Good spot... my mistake. The eyeQ3 chip is 200 GFLOPs.
Mobile rate it at 102 Million Multiply and Accumulate Operations per Second. This is equivalent to 200 GFLOPs.

Model S P90D w/AP3.0
The MCU and dash computers (there are two, one for each screen) are self-contained units right behind the screen. You can see them in action out of the car here:
Other microcontrollers are distributed throughout the car, normally close to the systems they control. They should all communicate over the CAN bus, which is standard for just about any car nowadays. Lets them use standard chips and parts, rather than custom build (and R&D!) every single thing.
My guess is the PX2 is going to be behind the dash computer or MCU. Probably pretty close, since those systems communicate a lot and it's a nice, central location to tie in all the sensors with minimal wiring.
