Anyone who has owned both HW3 and HW4 would know this. There’s a big difference between my HW3 Y and HW4 truck. The truck can drive itself almost flawlessly from start to finish and feels natural. The Y drives like a robot and occasionally makes mistakes. I would pay reasonable money to upgrade it to HW4 so that my wife isn’t stuck on old FSD.

- rainsford 6mo agoYeah but the point is that Tesla said you wouldn't have to throw more money at them to upgrade your Model Y to get new FSD. Maybe you knew that was BS from the start, or maybe you are a big enough fan that you're willing to give them a lot of leeway, but the lying is still bad. Hardware obviously gets better over time and it would have been a perfectly reasonable thing for Tesla to say that HW3 is decent but HW4 would likely be required for future FSD capability. But they didn't do that. Maybe because they didn't want people to stop buying HW3 cars or maybe because they hate admitting that anything they do isn't perfect. Or maybe they really believed their own hype that software can magically compensate for inadequate hardware. Either way, it's not ideal behavior for creating trust in a brand.
- qwerpy 6mo agoYeah it’s not ideal. The cars were good enough to buy given their capabilities at purchase time, no need for them to tell lies (or charitably, overly wishful thinking) to sell more cars.
