Tesla CEO Elon Musk was asked during the call if so-called hardware 3 vehicles with FSD (the advanced driver-assistance system) would require a hardware upgrade. That question matters because hardware 4 vehicles have a faster FSD computer compared to hardware 3 and Elon has repeatedly said an upgrade wouldn’t be required to unlock the full, and frequently updated, FSD software.
Welp … things change.
“I mean, I think the honest answer is that we’re going to have to upgrade people’s hardware three computer for those that have bought full self-driving and that is the honest answer,” he said. “And that’s going to be painful and difficult, but we’ll get it done now. I’m kind of glad that not that many people bought the FSD package.”
