Given that, I see one of two things happening:
- They fork the codebase. For all cars with Tegra 2/3 processors, they get a legacy experience. For new cars, they get a modern slick one.
- They offer paid upgrades during your next service trip. Priced fairly reasonably.
I think which way they go largely depends on how feasible it is to upgrade.
Musk has said publicly that it is easy to replace the onboard computer. As @SeminoleFSU points out however, whether or not they would choose to do this (instead of encouraging you to buy the newest and shiniest new Tesla) isn’t so clear cut.
Tesla could upgrade customer computers to meet self-driving requirements
