Musk admits older Teslas need hardware upgrades for FSD

Musk said older Teslas will need hardware upgrades to support Full Self-Driving, implying existing owners may face added retrofit costs or limits on current vehicles. The update is a modest negative for Tesla owners and highlights the hardware intensity of the company's AI-driven autonomy roadmap. The news is unlikely to move the broader market, but it may affect sentiment around Tesla's FSD rollout and customer expectations.
