Musk explains that Tesla HW4 software adaptation has been slow for half a year: the current focus is to make the HW3 version of FSD more complete and provide services to more countries

According to news from this website on August 27, the new versions of Model S and Model X currently in mass production have been updated to the HW4 platform, and the new Model Y and Model 3 are also ready for mass production, so we often see some users buying new models "Difficulty in choosing" occurs.

According to Musk, the software of HW4 vehicles is at least six months behind HW3. He said this is to make HW3’s FSD run better and provide services internationally as soon as possible (it has been tested in multiple countries), and is expected to Coming to China soon.

This site’s inquiry found that some functions of the existing Tesla Model S/X equipped with HW4 hardware still need to be implemented through subsequent OTA.

Musk also mentioned that the current safety of FSD under all circumstances is equivalent to 2 times that of ordinary human drivers, but he hopes to continue to improve it by 3 times, 4 times, or even 10 times, and the next FSD 12 There will be a breakthrough.

He also admitted that the large number of existing FSD owners is a huge advantage for Tesla, from which they can harvest a large amount of data every year, which is crucial for the hundreds of millions of anomalies that the car encounters on the road.
