FSD HW3 Upgrade: Necessary Evil or Questionable Priority?
So, Musk confirmed HW3 upgrades for FSD owners, calling it painful and difficult. He even expressed relief that not many people bought the FSD package. This raises some serious questions. Is this a genuine logistical challenge or a sign of miscalculated planning? Should Tesla prioritize this costly and complex upgrade over other pressing issues, like improving service center wait times or addressing existing software bugs?
Furthermore, limiting the upgrade to FSD owners while excluding subscribers seems divisive. Is this fair to those who opted for the subscription model? Will this create a two-tiered system within the Tesla community, further segmenting those with access to the latest features? And what does this mean for the future of FSD subscriptions? Will subscribers eventually get the upgrade, and if so, at what cost?
The potential for a hybrid HW3/HW4 computer also raises questions. Will this hybrid solution offer truly comparable performance to HW4, or will it be a compromise? Will this create further fragmentation and compatibility issues down the line?
This whole situation begs the question: is Tesla focusing on the right things? Is prioritizing a complex hardware upgrade for a relatively small percentage of owners truly the best use of resources? Lets discuss.
