@Eric5un @ChuckCook I picked up my MY Premium AWD Austin build on 1/23, also black headliner and HW4.5 with 16” screen, bought FSD. Also got 2025.44.300 shortly after. Still waiting now almost 2 weeks. Did you get the latest FSD 14 yet?

Interesting. Wonder what the hold up here is? Anyone have any thoughts?

Tesla factory software is still on v13 do you think it could be changed to v14? @Tesla_AI

In addition to the bioaerosol risk, ultrasonic humidifiers aerosolize minerals found in tap water. This transforms “hard water” into ultrafine particles that create a white film on surfaces and, when inhaled, can lead to respiratory distress. Use RO water, or better yet, distilled water, to minimize this.

@pshifrin @Eric5un @ChuckCook Picking same specs up 2/9. Transferring fsd from a hw3 , so we have to wait for a software update to get latest fsd on new hw4 car?

I’m now maxed out on referrals for the rest of the year. Time to help you guys get some Tesla referrals!
Drop your referral links below and I’ll send people asking for a code to the comment section to select one. Won’t be able to help everyone, but will do what I can.
For those curious, here's what people ordered using my code:
• Model Ys: 6
• Cybertrucks: 3
• Model 3: 1

@greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp
Looks like the Front Body Controller (VCFront) for the refreshed Juniper Model Y also been revised for the HW4.5 computer. Couldn’t access the part label but the ID label notes “AP45”.
#HW4point5 #AI4point5
Additionally, the VCFront module in service mode has been split into two (virtually?) — “VCFront”which routes to the PCS and “VCBATT” which routes to the LV Battery. On factory software 2025.44.200. Not sure if this setup is consistent with all Junipers or specific to HW4.5, but VCFront is just one module on legacy Y’s.
Will getting access to Service Mode + reveal any new bits and bobs software-wise, @TESLA_winston? For some reason when I put the vehicle’s VIN into the Tesla EPC it returns a “Catalog not available for this VIN” message.

Hardware 4.5? @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp “AP45” + part # 2261336-02-A Picked up a Fremont-built 2026 Tesla Y today (one of the last w/ Autopilot), mfg Jan 22. Includes new front camera housing + 16” screen, but no repeater/rear camera washers #HW45 #AI45
English

@greentheonly @cant_pickaname My understanding is the 16” screen is easy plug and play with highland 3’s and juniper Y’s

Put the new Model Y Performance screen in my Model 3. Font size does appear slightly smaller but besides that just plug and play. Considering how easy this was, can only assume it will be available as a retrofit

Is this @telsa "Hardware 4.5" FSD computer new? I don't remember seeing it before @greentheonly Do you know anything about this? @SawyerMerritt @niccruzpatane
English

@TZingGP @JasonFranciosa @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp The black border now extends along the bottom side of the camera housing
English

@JasonFranciosa @Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp Is it the new housing ?
How can you tell ?

English

@cant_pickaname @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp It’s an easy retrofit if it ever comes to that
English

@Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp After more research mine is the old unfortunately. Missed it by a couple weeks. Happy to have 4.5 but stings to just miss this change. Not even a month of ownership. According to Tesla service there’s no path to upgrade at the moment.
English

@Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp You got the new screen without the black headliner? I have the computer and front housing but having a hard time confirming the new screen. The housing measures 16 inch dead on but the actual display area measures 15.5ish. No black headliner.
English

@Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp No clue, but it got the 2025.45.8 update lsst night and went bonkers this morning. The high motor temperature appeared but we haven’t driven it.


English

@bradhs @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp I believe S2 indicates a replacement/service part, whereas O2 indicates factory installed. Should still be HW4.5 though?
English

@greentheonly looks like there’s two VCFronts (or at least a virtual device)? In service mode, VCFront is split in two with one running to LV battery, the other to PCS. Wasn’t present on legacy Y, not sure if Juniper-specific or more recent update.

English

@mweinbach @JasonFranciosa @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp Interesting. I ran my VIN through Tesla service portal and it didn’t register
English

@JasonFranciosa @Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp Hell ya
I ran my VIN through the EPC and it showed up
I do wonder if it's the tri die or not, would be interesting if it were
English

@mweinbach @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp Nothing different for autopilot menus. I do see the VCfront is split into two—one for LV battery and another for the PCS in service mode. Not sure if this is relevant in all Junipers, I am comparing against a legacy Y
English

@Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp in service mode does it say anything different for the computer in terms of memory or redundancy for the FSD computer?
English

@JasonFranciosa @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp It’s quite easy—pull down the upper carpet liner (it houses a light and vents) below the glovebox. It’s attached by a push clip towards the door and two magnets,no tools necessary. Just be careful not to pull too quickly towards the left where the speaker line is connected
English

@Eric5un @greentheonly @DirtyTesLa @NotATeslaApp How did you check this? I have a 2026 Model Y that I picked up Dec 29th, it has the new housing around the front camera's, but how do I see the car computer?
