BREAKING: Elon Musk admits that "Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve Unsupervised FSD". 7 years ago, Musk said HW3 Teslas had "all the hardware necessary, compute and otherwise, for Full Self-Driving. He repeated this for years. Musk defrauded millions of Tesla customers.

🚨 Will HW3 Teslas get Unsupervised FSD? Larry Goldberg says Elon Musk believes if HW3 can’t reach the safety level, Tesla may upgrade the hardware for free for FSD buyers. A "lighter" v14 version for HW3 is still being worked on, but timing is unclear. The big question: will Tesla upgrade HW3 cars to newer AI hardware? $TSLA 👇

In this Tesla earnings call, Elon Musk admits he was likely wrong when telling the world Tesla vehicles with HW3 would be safe enough to operate Full Self-Driving unsupervised. Elon also admits Tesla will need to make it right for HW3 owners.

We recreated Mark Rober's recent "Looney Tunes" test, to see whether Tesla Full Self-Driving and Enhanced Autopilot would stop for a fake wall. Rober was right. Enhanced Autopilot on Hardware 4 fails to detect the wall. v12.6.4 on Hardware 3 blows straight through the wall. Only v13.2.8 on Hardware 4 stops for it. Elon Musk promised over 3 million people who bought a Hardware 3 car that it had all the hardware they needed for Full Self-Driving. He promised all they needed was a software update. Elon promised that Hardware 3 robotaxis would make their owners $30,000 a year. He promised that Hardware 3 Teslas would appreciate in value to $200,000. That adds up to between $700 billion and $1 trillion. Hardware 3 Tesla owners were defrauded by Master Scammer Musk.

It’s a bummer… but it was a MAJOR update from Tesla’s Q1 2026 earnings call today with Elon confirming that Hardware 3 will not be able to achieve Unsupervised FSD. “Unfortunately, Hardware 3, I wish it were otherwise, but Hardware 3 simply does not have the capabilities to achieve Unsupervised FSD. You know, we did think at one point it would have that, but relative to hardware, it has only 1/8 of the memory bandwidth of Hardware 4, and memory bandwidth is one of the key elements needed for Unsupervised FSD.” Tesla plans to fix it for customers who bought FSD by: A) Discounted trade-in toward a vehicle with full Hardware 4 OR B) Direct upgrade by replacing the HW3 computer and the cameras to bring the car to HW4 spec To make upgrades fast and scalable, Elon also told us that: “…we’re going to have to set up like, kind of microfactories or small factories in major metropolitan areas… So we basically need like many production lines to make the change.” He also said over time it makes sense to convert all HW3 cars to HW4 bc this is what will enable them to enter the Robotaxi fleet and have Unsupervised FSD. Sorry for HW3 Tesla owners… but thanks for the update Elon.

For 12 years in a row Elon Musk has promised that Teslas would be capable of full self-driving within a year. He still isn't close. Tesla "Full Self-Driving" is the biggest scam of this generation.

Elon Musk on upgrading FSD hardware for customers who bought FSD on HW3 vehicles during today’s Q1 2026 Earnings Call: “Unfortunately, HW3, I wish it were otherwise, but HW3 simply does not have the capability to achieve Unsupervised FSD. We did think at one point it would have that, but relative to HW4 — it has only 1/8th the memory bandwidth of HW4, and memory bandwidth is one of the key elements needed for Unsupervised FSD, and it's just generally a thing that's needed for Al. If you're doing an order aggressive transformer, memory bandwidth is the choke point. For customers that have bought FSD, what we're offering is essentially a discounted trade-in for cars that have Al4 hardware, and we'll also be offering the ability to upgrade the car to replace the computer — you also need to replace the cameras, unfortunately, to go to HW4. To do this efficiently, we're going to have to set up micro-factories or small factories in major metropolitan areas in order to do it efficiently. I do think over time, it’s going to make sense for us to convert ALL HW3 cars to HW4 because that’s what enables them to enter the Robotaxi fleet and have Unsupervised FSD.”

Watch Tesla self-driving v14.3.1 fail to handle rain and tell its driver to “take over immediately”. Elon Musk says this is “the last piece of the puzzle” for Unsupervised FSD, but it can’t even handle drizzle.

Elon: "There is some chance that HW3 does not achieve the safety level that allows for unsupervised FSD. There is some chance of that. And if that turns out to be the case, we will upgrade those who bought hardware 3 FSD for free. We're going to have to upgrade people's hardware 3 computer for those that have bought Full Self-Driving. And that is the honest answer. And that's going to be painful and difficult, but we'll get it done. What we want to do is we want to get unsupervised done on Hardware 4 first. Once it's done, then we'll go back and look at what we need to do with Hardware 3 cars. Yeah, we've not completely given up on HW3, but we do want to solve autonomy first, and then we'll come back with a way to take care of customers. These customers are very important. They were the early adopters. We will definitely take care of you guys. Once the V14 release series is fully done, we are planning on working on a V14 lite version for Hardware 3, probably expected in Q2 next year"

Elon Musk said in 2019 that Teslas would not depreciate. Musk said that the Model 3's value would appreciate to $200,000, making it financially insane to buy anything but a Tesla. Let’s check in on how that’s going six years later

Here’s why Tesla HW4 vehicles won’t receive free upgrades to HW5 or beyond, while HW3 vehicles will. HW3/AI3 cars were sold under the clear promise, straight from Elon and Tesla’s own website, that the hardware was sufficient for safe, unsupervised Full Self-Driving (see video below). HW4/AI4 cars, on the other hand, were explicitly marketed as capable of Supervised FSD. At no point did Elon or Tesla suggest that HW4/AI4 would deliver unsupervised autonomy.

Elon Musk just dropped a Tesla bombshell in Davos. Insurance companies are now offering Tesla drivers 50% off if they use full self-driving. MUSK: “Recently some of the insurance companies have said that it is so safe, Tesla full self-driving is so safe, that they’re offering customers half price insurance, if they use Tesla full self-driving in their car.” Then he added: “I think self-driving cars is essentially a solved problem at this point.”

BREAKING: Tesla self-driving finally passed The Dawn Project's school bus test! On 50 out of 50 test runs, FSD 14.3.2 correctly stopped for the stopped school bus. After three years of campaigning, New York Times ads and Super Bowl commercials, Tesla has finally done the right thing and fixed this egregious safety defect. However, HW3 Teslas running FSD v 12.6.4 will still illegally blow past the stopped school bus and run down a child crossing the road. Elon Musk, if the defects can't be fixed on the current hardware, FSD should be disabled until those vehicles have been upgraded. Ashok Elluswamy, your next task is to stop FSD 14 from speeding in school zones.

Elon Musk We did, and we feel like you scammed us. Over 400,000 of us who bought Unsupervised FSD on HW3 cars spending up to $15,000 over three years ago and still have dangerous supervised FSD. My car still hasn’t appreciated in value as you said it would.

Elon Musk on Tesla getting more people to try FSD: “We’re now kind of insisting customers for safety reasons that we demonstrate Full Self-Driving, because the numbers are unequivocal at scale after 10 billion miles driven— that it’s 4x safer on FSD, than not. At this point, we’re just insisting that we at least demonstrate Self-Driving to customers so they know how to use it, and turn it on— for safety reasons.”
