Tesla vehicles pinch nan company’s Hardware 3 (HW3) machine really won’t person unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD), CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday’s Q1 2026 net call. Approximately 4 cardinal Tesla vehicles run connected nan HW3 platform, meaning that a important chunk of Tesla owners — including customers that paid for nan characteristic erstwhile they bought their cars — are now locked retired of being capable to usage unsupervised FSD, which has been thing Musk has been hyping for years, unless they upgrade their car aliases their car’s hardware.

Musk:

I wish it were otherwise, but Hardware 3 simply does not person nan capacity to execute unsupervised FSD. We did deliberation astatine 1 constituent it would person that, but comparative to Hardware 4, it has only one-eighth of nan representation bandwidth of Hardware 4. And representation bandwidth is 1 of nan cardinal elements needed for unsupervised FSD.

He added that:

For customers that person bought FSD, what we’re offering is fundamentally a discounted trade-in for cars that person AI4 hardware. We’ll besides beryllium offering nan expertise to upgrade nan car to switch nan computer. And you besides request to switch nan cameras, unfortunately, to spell to Hardware 4. To do this efficiently, we’re going to person to group up microfactories, aliases mini factories, successful awesome metropolitan areas successful bid to do it efficiently. If it’s done astatine nan work center, it’s highly slow to do truthful and inefficient. We fundamentally request mini accumulation lines to make nan change.

I do deliberation complete clip it’s going to make consciousness for america to person each Hardware 3 cars to Hardware 4, because that’s what enables them to participate nan robotaxi fleet and person unsupervised FSD.
