Dear @teslasi Team, I am writing on behalf of the community of Tesla owners equipped with Hardware 3 (HW3) who have purchased the Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability. As dedicated supporters of Tesla’s mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy and advance autonomous driving technology, we feel compelled to bring to your attention the ongoing concerns surrounding HW3 compatibility with the latest FSD advancements. Many of us invested in FSD with the understanding that our vehicles would receive continuous updates to achieve unsupervised autonomy, as promised by Tesla. However, recent developments indicate that HW3 vehicles are increasingly lagging behind, with owners stuck on older versions like FSD v12.x while Hardware 4 (HW4) and newer systems enjoy significant improvements in v14.x and beyond. This disparity has led to frustration among thousands of loyal customers, including those involved in class action lawsuits in regions like Australia, where false claims about FSD delivery have been alleged. We are aware of statements from Tesla leadership, including @elonmusk , confirming plans for free HW4 retrofits for HW3 FSD owners. Yet, months after admissions that HW3 may not support the final form of unsupervised FSD, there remains no clear timeline or plan for these upgrades. HW3 owners continue to miss out on critical updates, features, and the full value of their investment, despite contributing to FSD development through data collection and early adoption. We urge the Tesla AI team to prioritize this issue by: 1. Providing a detailed roadmap for HW3 upgrades, including timelines for HW4 retrofits or alternative solutions like optimized “FSD-Mini” models. 2. Ensuring equitable access to FSD subscriptions and features for HW3 vehicles, addressing misleading advertising in markets where FSD is promoted but not fully deliverable. 3. Engaging directly with the HW3 FSD owner community to gather feedback and rebuild trust. Your innovative work on neural networks and camera-based autonomy has inspired us all, as evidenced by impressive demonstrations in challenging environments like New York City. We simply ask that this progress extends to all who have supported Tesla from the beginning. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your response and are available for further discussion. Sincerely, HW3 FSD Owners Community
