Comment on Tesla has taken down 2016 release noting full self driving hardware capability

Comments

Very recently they forked hardware 4 and hardware 3 FSD versions… I wonder if they’re about to attempt to claim older HW3 capable vehicles can’t actually do “actual” FSD and only HW4 “can”. Or maybe only HW5.

Either way, they’re gonna get a line of lawsuits ready if they do.

The longer they wait to make such a statement, the cheaper it becomes (due to more cars being taken off the road, or sold 2nd/3rd/4th hand to new owners who don't care).

At that point, they can decide if it's cheaper to settle all the lawsuits and refund all the angry owners, or if it's worth making an upgrade adapter to fit HW4/5 into the slot designed for HW3.
