Musk Admits: Millions of Tesla Owners Will Need Hardware Upgrades for True Full Self-Driving

Friends, an update from the world of autonomous driving: Elon Musk acknowledged that millions of Tesla owners will require hardware upgrades to achieve true Full Self-Driving.

Briefly:
— Musk: Hardware 3 cannot deliver truly unsupervised FSD; a new compute platform and cameras will be needed.
— Upgrades are labor-intensive and extensive; Tesla plans "microfactories" in major cities to ease service demand.
— The CFO had previously hoped to avoid hardware replacements; the company’s position has since shifted.

Why it matters: this raises cost implications for owners, trust issues, and potential legal exposure.

Do you think Tesla can perform mass upgrades without significant reputational damage?
