Tesla has received approval from the Dutch vehicle authority RDW to install its latest and upgraded FSD Hardware 4.0, also known as HW4, in Model S and X vehicles.
The Future is Here: Tesla’s FSD Hardware 4.0 Upgrades Unveiled
The certificate, dated January 20, 2023, paves the way for Tesla to launch what will be the most technologically advanced vehicles in the world.
The FSD 4.0 comes with a slew of upgrades, although the details of the new system have not been revealed. Experts speculate that the upgrades may include a generation 4 complex vehicle control system (Autopilot), a new computer that is four times more powerful than the one available in FSD 3, and a new GNSS antenna for navigation.
Other upgrades include changes to Automatic Dipped and Main Beam Sensor, unification of Model X brake system application, new stay arm for Model X interior rear-view mirror, update to manufacturer’s engine code, update to vehicle’s rear badging, an increased speed limit of 174 MPH (280 km/h), and new 5MP autopilot cameras.
Tesla is also planning to roll out the Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit, which can boost the vehicle speed to 200 MPH (322 km/h).
No Retrofits for Older Models
In a recent interview, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company would not offer retrofits for older models to upgrade to FSD 4.0. The cost and difficulty of retrofitting hardware 3 with hardware 4 are quite significant, making it economically unfeasible. Moreover, the new computer may be difficult to fit with the old models.
It makes sense for the company not to offer the upgrade to older models, as upgrading the existing fleet of millions of cars would put huge pressure on the company both financially and physically.
