Tesla's FSD Hardware Swap: Necessary Evil or Bait-and-Switch?
So, Musk finally admitted it. Tesla owners who shelled out big bucks for FSD with HW3 are going to need a hardware upgrade to HW4. This raises some serious questions. How many Tesla owners are affected by this? What will the upgrade process look like logistically? Will Tesla cover the costs, given previous assurances about HW3's capabilities? More importantly, does this erode trust in Tesla's promises? Is this a necessary step towards true Full Self-Driving or a sign of poor planning? What does this mean for the resale value of HW3 equipped Teslas? I'm curious to hear from those who purchased FSD. Do you feel misled? Are you willing to go through another hardware swap? What are your expectations for the future of FSD? I predict this move will fuel a new wave of lawsuits, especially given the previous HW3 retrofit court case. Let the discussion begin.
