The worst part about all of this, is Tesla has backed themselves into a corner with their aggressive marketing. If additional sensors are required it will cost them billions in retrofitting all the teslas it’s already sold. Partially believe that’s why Elon bought Donald.
It's already going to cost them what I imagine is billions in upgrades.
On the last earnings call Elon finally admitted that HW3 will probably need to be upgraded for people who bought/buy FSD.
That's millions of cars, and there's been some rulings that the upgrade includes people who decided to subscribe to fsd instead of purchase.
Lawsuits aside from it never being complete, the moment whatever their latest tech is that can, even if it is somehow all cameras, is going to lead to millions of cars needing upgrades.
However, if they truly solve it, that's probably a drop in the bucket compared to the profits itd generate even if they have to add lidar or refund thousands of dollars per vehicle.
I don't want him driving my car either
