Tesla CEO Elon Musk says HW3 computers will be fixed for FSD owners.

In 2016, Tesla published a blog that said all EVs it produces have the hardware necessary to achieve “Full Self-Driving,” meaning owners of those Teslas could look forward to autonomous rides and could eventually send their cars out as money-making robotaxis when not in use. Tesla later deleted that post, and now we can see why. Since that post published, Tesla has shipped millions of updated Hardware 3 computers to replace the older HW2.5 ones because they couldn’t achieve FSD.

HW4 is shipping with the facelifted Model 3, the just-released redesigned Model Y, and 2023 and newer Model S and X vehicles. In 2018, Tesla said it would give customers free upgrades to HW3, so long as they had purchased FSD, which has ballooned in price to as high as $15,000 from a starting price of $2,000. Electrek notes that a Tesla owner had once sued the company for not honoring the promised free HW3 upgrade since the owner did not pre-purchase FSD.
