Tesla is confronted with the potential need to replace autopilot computers in 4 million vehicles equipped with HW3 technology and offer compensation. The company had previously assured owners that these vehicles possessed all the necessary hardware for full self-driving capabilities. However, Elon Musk has since acknowledged that the HW3 computers are incapable of supporting autonomous driving functions. Tesla intends to provide hardware upgrades for users who have purchased the Full Self-Driving (FSD) package, yet these upgrades come at a significant cost and involve a complex process. Furthermore, Tesla may be legally obligated to compensate car owners who did not purchase the FSD package but were misled by false advertising, as there are established legal precedents for such scenarios.
