"Unfortunately, Hardware 3 - I wish it were otherwise - but Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD. Its memory bandwidth is the chokepoint."
"Tesla introduced a confusingly-named version of the software, called 'FSD (Supervised)' in April 2024, while an 'unsupervised' version would seemingly refer to actual, autonomous driving."
"Despite Musk first making the concession well over a year ago, Tesla has yet to make good on its promise of providing millions of owners with the necessary hardware upgrade."
"Musk explained during this week's call that Tesla is now looking into constructing 'microfactories' in cities to retrofit HW3 vehicles with a new computer and camera system."
Tesla's Hardware 3, initially promised to enable fully autonomous driving, has been deemed insufficient by CEO Elon Musk. Despite selling millions of vehicles equipped with HW3, Musk admitted in January 2025 that a retrofit is necessary for true autonomy. This revelation has upset many owners who paid extra for Full Self-Driving capabilities, leading to class action lawsuits. Tesla plans to build microfactories to facilitate the upgrade process, which is expected to be lengthy and challenging.
