Tesla won't upgrade the…
Tesla won't upgrade the hardware either. HW3 still doesn't have FSD v13 despite HW4 getting I think 5-6+ major point version updates while HW3 vehicles got 2 virtually useless to the actual performance of FSD updates. And HW3 only support shipping late 2023, so it's barely 2 years old and functionally obsolete by Tesla for current FSD models already.
Just imagine being a pre HW3 owner. Sure some hot the HW2 OR HW2.5 upgrade for free or $1-1.5k. But they can't do the full AI models properly and are even more screwed than the HW3 crowd. Now things are going to fragment a ton more because the new model Y will start using HW5 In the not to distant future, and suddenly a bunch of HW4 facelift model Y's may be obsolete despite being model year 2026.
It's a fun scan Tesla runs.
