- Autopilot autopilot 2.0 hw2 Model S
17.4.75 is not reported in any firmware database. Could you perhaps post your firmware release notes?
As far as availability of autopilot, presuming your build had it, your cameras need about 150 miles and one day to calibrate. It might take more maybe less depending on conditions of driving.
No intelligent features are activated yet other than adaptive cruise control up to 80MPH and autosteer up to 50MPH on major highways only. I think auto headlights might work but not auto wipers. I believe there is a side collision warning but it doesn't do much in my car. No forward collision prevention yet. There are many other threads on this. Good luck.

I just got my ap2 X yesterday. It is also running 17.4.75 and has no positive control features I've found.
It said there was an update, but the message went away after it failed to complete last night.

Our S 100D completed production in mid-February (with the 17.7.2 release installed) and spent a month in transport and waiting for the EPA hold before delivery. During that time, the 17.9.3 release was distributed, but was not installed in the car while Tesla had it at the Service Center.
After delivery, I took the car back to the Service Center and after several hours, they were unable to get 17.9.3 to install and ordered a new processor module. When I got home, I did a "Power Off" and rebooted both the dashboard and console processors - and within an hour, my smartphone showed our S 100D had a new update available - and 17.9.3 installed successfully on the first try at home.
It's not clear why 17.9.3 installed in our garage after Tesla was unable to get it to install at the Service Center. Getting it to install may have been due to the Power Off/reboot sequence I did at home or might have needed something Tesla did at the Service Center while trying to get it to install there.
Yesterday afternoon, after returning home, I received a "software update available" message on my smartphone - and was able to install the 8.1 release on the first try. So whatever was preventing 17.9.3 from being installed appears to be cleared up now.
If you have a new S/X and still running 17.7.2 or 17.9.3 and don't receive 8.1 in the next few days, I recommend trying the Power off/reboot sequence and if that doesn't work overnight, then contact Tesla's phone support for assistance.

I took my X back to the service center for the wifi trick today and it worked! I asked one of the reps and she confirmed that my previous upgrade had failed and that my ride was currently downloading another update. I couldn't wait around all afternoon for the software to arrive, so I headed out and hoped for the best.
When I got in that evening, it automatically installed a maps update without prompting. When I got home and connected to Wifi, it prompted me to install a bizarre system update that didn't change the version number or any features I could find. About 15 minutes later, it got another update which ended up being 8.1. I opted in to all the beta features and will take it for a spin in the morning!
