"Musk stated that cars with the third version of Tesla's driver-assistance tech, known as 'Hardware 3,' will need a new computer and new cameras. He mentioned that these replacements will be so burdensome that Tesla is looking at building 'micro-factories' in 'major metropolitan areas' to avoid overwhelming service centers."
"'I think the honest answer is that we're going to have to upgrade people's Hardware 3 computer for those that have bought Full Self-Driving,' Musk said. 'That's going to be painful and difficult, but we'll get it done.'"
"'We have not completely given up on HW3,' said Tesla's chief financial officer Vaibhav Taneja, indicating that there was still hope for the existing hardware to support future software."
Elon Musk announced that Tesla owners with Hardware 3 will require significant upgrades, including a new computer and cameras, to utilize future Full Self-Driving software. This revelation contradicts earlier claims that such upgrades would not be necessary. The company is considering establishing micro-factories in urban areas to manage the upgrade process efficiently. Musk acknowledged the challenges of upgrading existing Hardware 3 vehicles, which were sold between 2019 and 2023, and indicated that this situation could lead to legal challenges from customers.
