For those on HW2.5, any hope left for a free upgrade?

Why pay $ For software that hasn’t had any change in a year? You’re chasing and losing at this point. They’re literally working on HW5 and you’re hoping for sloppy leftovers my dude/dudette.

The 2.5 to 3.0 free upgrade was offered in the past for certain owners (guess not apply to used car owners?) The rumored free upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0 is only a promise, but no timeline, and we don't know when. You likely need to get to 3.0 first, if Tesla offers 3.0 to 4.0 free upgrade.

Typically HW upgrades are only free if you've purchased FSD, some have somehow gotten the 2.5 to 3 upgrade for free but I believe officially its a $1k cost.

No. No free upgrade. Hope for a quantized model.

"When I purchased this car I was told it had all the hardware for FSD"

Its not eben a promise.

They are free if you have purchased FSD. My friend and I both had Model Ss with HW2.5. He purchased the car with FSD, I subscribed back when it was $15K or whatever the peak was. He got the free upgrade, I paid $1K for HW3 and subscribed for two years. My car had EAP when I bought it so when the price came down it was only $2K to buy it. My dumbass spent $5K instead of the $2K if I would’ve waited, but I transferred it to my Cybertruck soooo… Win? lol

It’s a 7 year old car and you’re asking if it’ll get some free super cool updates? It will not. I hope you enjoy it. But Tesla has no interest in upgrading or doing anything big to a 2019 model 3

It has. Doesn’t mean we will ever see it.

2.5 -> 3.0 upgrade was free for those who purchased FSD. That ship has sailed.

Dude, just pay to upgrade and get FSD with HW3.... you wont regret it.

19 M3 LR RWD here was given the 2.5 to 3.0 HW for free when I simply just asked in May of 2023. I had purchased Autopilot previously but like three years prior before it started being included. I have no words or advice to make them do this.
