Elon Musk admits Tesla must replace Hardware 3 computers, contradicting years of promises that every car since 2016 is FSD-capable.

This episode features an interview between Tesla Welt host David and guest Nino from the YouTube channel Strombock. The discussion centers on Tesla's recent earnings call where Elon Musk admitted Hardware 3 computers may need replacement for full self-driving capabilities. David introduces the topic by explaining Tesla's historical promise that all cars since 2016 were FSD-capable. Nino shares his perspective as a Hardware 3 owner who hasn't purchased FSD, following his principle of only buying software when features are delivered. They analyze the earnings call moment where Ashok Alaswamy gave a politically correct answer before Elon Musk intervened with more direct honesty. The conversation reveals Tesla changed its website description of FSD from promising full autonomy to only 'minimal driver intervention,' which Nino sees as legal protection against lawsuits. They estimate Hardware 3 to Hardware 4 upgrade costs between 2,000-4,000 euros, noting the logistical challenge of upgrading millions of vehicles. David expresses disappointment, feeling Tesla's Robotaxi vision is compromised, while Nino adopts a more optimistic 'shit happens' attitude, believing Tesla genuinely didn't know Hardware 3 might be insufficient. They discuss safety considerations, with Tesla likely prioritizing Hardware 4 for its higher-resolution cameras to minimize risk during initial autonomous rollout. The episode includes a live poll where most viewers believe unsupervised FSD will arrive before SpaceX lands on Mars. They speculate about Hardware 5 coming in 2025-2026 and whether continuous hardware upgrades will become the norm. The interview concludes with personal buying strategies, with David planning to wait until unsupervised FSD exists before his next purchase, while Nino considers purchasing FSD once supervised versions arrive in Europe.
