Those who bought FSD will get FSD and it doesn't matter what hardware will be in your car.
If that hardware is HW 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 or whatever that won't be able to do FSD, then Tesla will be continued to be legally obligated to provide whatever it will take without additional cost to deliver what we already paid.
Let's say we give the benefit of the doubt that you're correct and Tesla sticks to the deal.
Future Tesla gets FSD working on HW3 and the world is just dandy, other than the (50,000? 75,000? More?) cars that are on the road that have had FSD purchased and paid for in advance. How long is it going to take to fulfill that promise to all of those cars if it's *just* the computer?
How long is it going to take if it requires replacing cameras? What if they have to replace wiring harnesses because it turns out to need an additional radar transceiver on each corner of the car?
So on, so forth. Tesla does a lot of things will, but I struggle to believe for a moment that even IF they actually do the HW3 upgrades, that the program will be managed in any sane or fair manner.
