HW4 software will lag HW3 by at least another six months, as our focus needs to be on getting FSD on HW3 working super well and provided internationally.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 27, 2023
Backstory: HW4 is the latest hardware revision for Teslas. This revision is included with the newest cars, and will probably drop with the cybertruck. Elon also dropped a program that lets you transfer your lifetime FSD to HW4 a while back (useful to know).
List of HW4 seethe:
So the Model S Plaid (HW4) I bought 2 months ago and paid $15K for FSD is essentially useless for another 6-8 months. The free 3 months for FSD for my wife's Model X (HW4) is going to expire before it's even capable of being used. As much as I love all of my Teslas, that doesn't sound right.

Updates on Summon, Auto Park? These are also missing alongside FSDBETA.

He usually say “2 weeks” to mean “6 months”… “6 months” might mean “3 years”

you need more engineers. 6 months… what about all the people that paid for $15k FSD. I'm a huge supporter, but this is half a year more than what we have already been waiting.

Looking like at least another year for HW4 cars to get FSD Beta based on prior missed timelines. Sucks if you updated to a HW4 car and expected parity with HW3.

There's a lot more drama in the thread but I'm tired tbh.
HWc3ls stay winning

So should I buy a Tesla now or wait six months?

buy a tesla now ONLY if you're not expecting any new features to be made soon (such as FSD) and if you're not part of any car communities.

I am indeed into one specific car culture but they don't need to know about my little habit. I am completely uninterested in FSD. What will HW4 do anyway?

tl;dr: better hardware and sensors (also lets you play steam games in the car)

I guess the only thing I care about is if the new HW4 will be any faster. I want that 2.9s 0-60 time. For the price Tesla charges, that's downright irresponsible. That's Audi R8 acceleration for peanuts. So they won't be any faster?

No. It's the ADAS generation, not powertrain
