HW4 is just the next step in computational power. No different than a computer getting better every year or every other year. It is to be expected, but it certainly isn't anything worth getting excited about until FSD actually materializes into something that is useful to the average driver.
Funny how the speculation and what people thought would happen was wrong.
Yeah and those waiting for HW4, might be sad, when the FSD is going to require HW5 to actually have enough camera's / sensors / computing power to work semi-reliably.
I am not going to lose any sleep over having ordered a car that is going to be delivered with HW3, unless the price for these packages are going to be lowered considerably i am not seeing myself buying them any time soon.
The NOA package right now is full price, even if 3/5 of the functions that is advertised are disabled, and the FSD is not anywhere near being "Full Self Drive" the only thing i would gain from buying the FSD, over the NOA package right now, according to Tesla website is "Auto Stop at red light" and "NOA in cities....Coming sometime in the future, maybe"..
IF they get some of that stuff working, and it needs a newer HW and so on, i will decide on buying a new Tesla and selling the old one at that point, no need to wait forever for "the next great thing"
I am a bit miffed about the removal of Radar and i still hope it will be possible to have it retrofitted at a reasonable price in the future, we have multiple days here where there is fog, and the camera can not see through fog like the radar can.
