That actually kind of IS true. Yes, a person who hasn't purchased FSD on models prior to including HW3, CAN upgrade to HW3, however that upgrade is not available for purchase yet. Presumably once they've run the free upgrades of those who have purchased FSD they will make the upgrade available for the cost of the HW3. I believe they've said $6,000.
People are confused on the cutoff date. Perhaps the confusion lies with mixed announcements. People who paid full price for FSD, as we discussed yesterday, were to be offered membership in the NDA Early Access Program. That has a cutoff of when they or about when they ended Enhanced Auto Pilot. Clearly after late March or early April cars shipped with HW3 so there may be confusion about that date. Those people can buy FSD whenever they want. If one is to believe Elon Musk, once Tesla has FSD the cost will skyrocket.
What are you referring to that you feel is totally false?
It is totally false because there is no cutoff date where some FSD people will get the AP3 upgrade at no additional cost but other FSD people will be forced to pay extra to get the AP3 upgrade. Tesla has said that everybody who paid for FSD will get the AP3 computer upgrade at no additional cost.
