Musk says HW3 upgrades needed as Tesla still mulls FSD plan

Tesla has yet to present a concrete execution plan for supporting Full Self-Driving (FSD) on Hardware 3 (HW3) vehicles. CEO Elon Musk acknowledged the need to upgrade HW3 vehicles but did not give clear answers on timing, methods or how much of the cost Tesla would bear. He said it makes sense to upgrade vehicles below HW4 and is considering options including next-generation AI boards, while chip production and priorities could delay HW3 support.

French transport minister says Tesla FSD is not autonomous driving, approval put on hold

France has put on hold approval of Tesla’s driver-supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) assistance feature, saying the system in its current state allows speeding and does not adequately ensure driver attention in urban settings. Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said the safety balance was not yet sufficient and described FSD as not an autonomous driving system. France is seeking an EU-aligned approval framework and is continuing technical talks with the Netherlands and Tesla.

Tesla 2026 Model Y test drive: Without FSD, steering assist is also removed

Tesla’s 2026 Model 3 and Model Y further expand screen-based controls and remove steering assist unless drivers subscribe to Full Self-Driving (FSD), according to a user cited by Cleantechnica. The user highlighted new on-screen gear shifting as a major inconvenience, though some steering-wheel controls were seen as improved. The report also noted trim-based differences in seat controls, concerns over paid driver-assistance features, and a widening gap between older hardware and newer FSD versions.
