<\/figure>\nTesla\u2019s response<\/h2>\n
Tesla had offered FSD-transfer promotions that could encourage owners to move to a newer car. Repeated returns of offers initially presented as limited opportunities complicated the picture for customers deciding whether to keep their existing vehicle or replace it.<\/p>\n
Tesla also used the name Full Self-Driving (Supervised), including in descriptions of used vehicles. That name makes the need for driver oversight clear, but it does not by itself settle what future hardware could support. Continuing to sell FSD to HW3 owners while its long-term route remained uncertain strengthened the case for clearer information about what was available and what was still a development objective.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Computing technology develops quickly, and several years can create a substantial performance gap. The issue for FSD buyers was not simply that newer hardware existed: they had paid for a package associated with ambitious future capabilities. In this opinion piece, the editorial argument was that Tesla should explain the options and consider an upgrade or other remedy if the original hardware could not meet the relevant commitments. That is an argument about customer expectations, not a determination of anyone\u2019s legal entitlement or of a vehicle\u2019s future value.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Musk had described a straightforward HW3-to-HW4 retrofit as impractical, and the platforms differed substantially. A purpose-built replacement computer was one possible alternative if computing power proved to be the main constraint, but it was not an announced solution at publication. The essential point was transparency: owners needed to know whether unsupervised driving remained a realistic objective for their vehicle, what any upgrade would involve and which commitments applied to them. Without that information, confidence could erode. The handling of HW3 was therefore a significant test of Tesla\u2019s credibility, while the FSD software then available still required the driver\u2019s supervision.<\/p>\n The referral offer described at publication: \u20ac1,000 off a new Tesla.
