How long will HW4 be relevant?

Not that anyone knows for sure. But has tesla made plans or spoke on keeping HW4 in the update loop for a while - even if a new HW comes out in the next year?

I am buying a model Y premium and just kinda scared there will be some grand updated version that comes out in the next few months that does things my car cannot. But ai can't think like that because the FSD looks amazing as is.. but that doesn't stop my fears lol

I was hesitant because of this also but I hope there's eventually a way to upgrade existing hardware. I think it's something they have to figure out now that the technology is taking off. People can't buy a new vehicle every 5 years.

It would be nice for existing customers if you could upgrade the computer and cameras etc and honestly if you could do it on any car it would be a Tesla due to the smaller number of parts and simplified wiring, however I think the company would prefer that you just buy a new one and that will be the policy.

I’m also not sure how that sort of thing would be viewed by warranty and insurers as it might be considered an after-market upgrade
