How to tell if new car has HW4?

[Cosmacelf]

Any ETA on FSD working on HW4 cars?

Do all new S and X now have the full HW4 suite (computer and new cameras?).

What's the current status of HW4 on the S? Still a new computer but not additional cameras so it's more like HW3.99 than HW4?

How very prescient!

Was there any resolution to this? I have a MX in order and kinda pointless to give away 3 months of FSD if it can’t be activated.

Thanks.

This thread seems to have the latest info: I got HW 4.0 but NO FSD Beta

It appears you are correct. New cars don’t have access to FSDb until some future software update.

I’m sure this is super redundant, but FSD can be activated on all capable cars, it brings stop light and sign control, FSDb is not a paid feature, it’s a beta program. The question is, did Tesla know what they were offering (FSD and EAP knowing FSDb was never intended to be accessible during the trial) with the trial and more importantly did they communicate that properly to buyers? One would think they would want the beta to be part of the trial to encourage purchases, but on the other hand, in its current state, it might backfire and have the opposite effect, and they know this, and the trial is working as intended.

Yeah the problem is that “FSD” means different things to different people. Many people (me included) regard FSDb as integral to FSD since I’ve been using it for so long and am now actually routinely using it on most of my drives. Not being to use FSDb on a new car purchase is actually going to delay my plans to upgrade my car until I can get access to it.

My service advisor simply saiid fsd is not available on your HW4 car at this time but will be with a future update

I guess they are kind of right, FSDb is working just fine with HW4, including park assist, but if your car was built recently, they factory firmware is too high to take advantage of it.

How can we tell if our cars have HW3 or HW4. My 2023 MYLR was delivered in late Nov 2022 and from Fremont CA. Thanks

Here’s a video of the way the front and side cameras look on hardware 4

One of those years is in error? If you took delivery Nov 22 it's HW3, if Nov 23 it's HW4.

Sorry it's NOT an error. I picked the car in Nov 2022. Confirmed by VIN # it's 2023 car

Thanks, I didn't realize that could happen, thought it was a typo. So you have HW3. HW4 wasn't widespread until May-Jun 2023. I know because I was waiting for HW4 after cancelling a Jan 2023 order that would have been HW3.

How can I tell if my china Model Y LR will have HW4? I have a vin number. Delivery expected 3-18 May
