Couple interesting tidbits in there that stood out to me:
The spokesperson also said that all Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles being ordered today come with the new hardware.
...and...
Tesla still believes that it can achieve the promised full autonomy on the 2.0 suite, but they now say that they could upgrade HW 2.0 cars with the new 2.5 hardware at no cost in the “highly unlikely” possibility that it is actually needed.
So interesting note for new orders and no worries for people with AP 2.0. Cool. My order should be starting production soon so it should have the new hardware, but even if it doesn't, once they have the ability, it would get upgraded regardless. That's comforting to know.
Customers that have 2.0 would have a legal case against Tesla to get it upgraded for free if that's what would be required since one could argue that one of the reasons they bought the Tesla was their claim to be able to provide fully-autonomous driving capability with that model. If they don't provide it then that would be a massive breach of false advertising and consumer protection issues. For that reason, I don't ever see them backtracking on providing a free upgrade if it were required.
