Just read news that unless a Tesla has HW 4, that Tesla's only equipped w/ HW 3 will most likely never get FSD 14. Previously folks with hw3 were told that they would get the full self Drive update. Makes me glad we dumped our model X years AGO when we did. Tesla FSD v14 to begin rolling out next week - Drive Tesla. .

But as pointed out in the cited thread, some of us think concentration on 'robo-taxi' is consuming Tesla's software resources. I have no interest in "robo-taxi" systems, which came about when Elon's distractions became more obvious. Same is true for Optimus. Then the recent AI customized processor project was axed. IMHO, Tesla R&D resources are going into dark holes with no Return on Investment. So I sold my TSLA stock and saved ~$150 last month compared to the previous year. That is "tax free" income so I can still indulge myself with independent living: The utility company web site leaves a lot to be desired ... "76.67% lower" includes all todate I think. Bob Wilson
i've made 8k on tesla, but those are unrealized gains. there are still a lot of bulls and bears manipulating the stock price
FSD - Full Self Driving HW x - the main controller hardware version, Consists of two processors so one can backup the other. HW 2.5 - what I originally had in 2019 (from memory, not Google) HW 3 - released 2021 to 2023 HW 4 - released 2024, claimed to be ~3x faster with lower heat load Bob Wilson
A better graph showing corresponding months between 2024 and 2025: The solar roof came online May 2025. After some 'learning curve,' I'm saving about $150/month this summer. Bob Wilson
A used, Hertz Model 3 would be an acceptable replacement for my 2019 Model 3: Reasonably low charge cycles < 40,000 service miles AutoPilot standard Switch to "rentable" Full Self Driving Bullet proof from rental abuse (Electric drive train effect) Bob Wilson
