I took an FSD ride today for the first time with my friend Georges. I held off buying the upgrade even when they gave a grace period before raising the price from $3k to $6k because as a rule, I never buy vaporware.. I'd rather pay more once I feel it works. I'm buying today. For those like me who didn't buy FSD but have an older computer, I'm told the protocol is to order FSD in the app and then set up an appointment to have the computer upgraded. I think if you pay the $6k they upgrade for free, but they might charge you for the upgrade if you order the monthly subscription. I'm still seeking confirmation of this. @elonmusk, highly recommend you get these instructions in the order section of the app for those who it applies to. I bet a lot of people are going to want to upgrade to FSD once they see how good it has gotten!

To be clear, I already have enhanced autopilot so the upgrade is I think half the price of a normal full upgrade.
@jhong I'm also curious how upgrading the computer works when you're just doing the monthly subscription.
@jhong People will say anything for clicks and high fives .. I'd rather wait for full or near-full autonomy.. Paying $200 a month for a service that's improved but still can't ensure my safety? No thanks.
@jhong @WholeMarsBlog Upgrade meaning HW3 to HW4? I'm guessing you mean HW2.5 to 3
@jhong @M_IsForMachine you might find these instructions helpful
