During Tesla’s Q4 earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk admitted the company will have to upgrade owners with Hardware 3 (HW3) cars that bought Full Self-Driving packages.
The upgrade will be required to support full FSD Unsupervised in the future, especially Robotaxis.
“We’re going to have to upgrade people’s hardware 3 computer for those that have bought Full Self-Driving, and that is the honest answer,” said Musk on the call. “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,” joked Musk, laughing afterwards.
For now, Tesla still does not offer FSD transfers for new car purchases, but only during select promo periods. Owners that bought full FSD packages should have the option stay with their account, and not the car.
During the company’s Q3 earnings call, Musk similarly hinted that if an upgrade for HW3 was required for FSD Unsupervised, Tesla would upgrade cars for free. Now, he is saying it must happen.
