In a recent development, Tesla has unveiled a new self-driving computer retrofit, although it is specifically designed for HW4 vehicles and not for the older HW3 models. This announcement comes from a prominent Tesla hacker who discovered the new computer, which appears to be a service replacement unit labeled “MY Reloaded.” The HW4 suite, which has been in use since 2023, boasts significantly enhanced computing power and utilizes different camera systems compared to its predecessor, HW3.

Tesla's strategy has shifted over the past year, as the company now prioritizes software updates for HW4 vehicles, leaving HW3 owners with outdated versions of the Full Self-Driving package. CEO Elon Musk had previously indicated that software development for HW3 cars would progress ahead of HW4, but this approach has since been abandoned. As a result, many in the Tesla community are skeptical about the feasibility of achieving unsupervised self-driving capabilities on HW3 vehicles, leading to speculation that a new computer retrofit may be necessary for these older models.
The newly discovered computer retrofit is not compatible with HW3 vehicles due to differing camera connectors, raising questions about Tesla's long-term plans for HW3 owners. While the introduction of the “MY Reloaded” computer suggests a focus on enhancing HW4 capabilities, it remains unclear whether this will lead to significant advancements in Tesla's self-driving technology. As the automotive industry continues to evolve, Tesla's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction will be closely monitored by enthusiasts and critics alike.
