Tesla Confirms HW3 Limits
- Tesla confirmed that Hardware 3 (HW3) cannot achieve unsupervised Full Self‑Driving and plans bespoke retrofit conversions for some FSD purchasers via conversion hubs. - In response, Tesla announced trade‑in discounts and an FSD v14 Lite tier for HW3 with a reduced feature set and a staged release timeline. - The company is rolling software updates (v14.x) that improve features like Summon, but the hardware shortfall forces segmentation and retrofit programs rather than feature parity.
