If your vehicle has Full Self-Driving computer 3.0 or above, plus Basic Autopilot or Enhanced Autopilot, you are eligible to subscribe to FSD capability. You can check your Autopilot configuration from your vehicle's touchscreen by selecting 'Controls' > 'Software' > 'Additional Vehicle Information.'

Hardware 4.0 (HW4) is Tesla's latest suite of Autopilot/self-driving sensors and a new FSD computer. The new hardware, which includes a new radar and new cameras all around the vehicle, has already been deployed in Model S and Model X.

However, according to a trusted source, Tesla is not including HD radar in its new Model Ys with HW4. This surprising decision could mean several things, possibly indicating that Tesla views HD radar as a "ground truth" to help improve their vision systems rather than a vital component for FSD vehicles.

Tesla has been able to redesign how chips are used in their car. They have a new network inside that enables the newest Model S to use 20 microcontroller chips instead of 80. The supply of 80 MCU chips is enough for four cars instead of one. Tesla makes their own chip design for their self-driving system.

Full Self-Driving (FSD) is a fully autonomous system designed for urban driving. In general, FSD is much more advanced than Autopilot since it has more sensors and processing power. While both can steer, brake, and adjust speed while on the highway. FSD takes it to the next level.

What is the FSD Beta? At the most basic level, FSD Beta is the live-testing phase of the newest additions to Tesla's Full Self-Driving software. Currently, the non-Beta version of FSD is composed of several autonomous driving functions, but FSD does not complete a full trip on its own.

Your unique Tesla Safety Score can be viewed in the Tesla app. But first, you'll have to opt into the Safety Score program by pressing the Request FSD Beta button. Tesla designed Safety Score Beta in 2021 to help determine driver eligibility for the Full Self-Driving Beta test group.

Don't Expect A Complete Refresh

A source has told us not to expect a complete refresh, much like the Model S and Model X went through in 2021, but more of a refinement in various areas. This will not be a major redesign, internally or externally, however, the exterior of the vehicle is expected to have more changes.

Tesla has evidently started shipping some Model Y units from its Fremont, California factory with Hardware 4 (HW4), its most recent version of its self-driving computer.

Introducing the Model Y AWD with 4680 Battery

Priced at $49,990 before incentives, this model offers 279 miles of range, a top speed of 135 mph, and a 0-60 mph time of 5.0 seconds.

The 2023 Tesla Model Y starts at $47,490. Adding a third seating row to the Long Range trim is another $4,000. And the Full Self-Driving package (available on all three trims) is $15,000. These are manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) and do not include the $1,390 destination charge/delivery fee.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

The all-wheel-drive Long Range offers 330 miles of range; the Performance model's estimated range drops to 303 miles. But the latter comes with 20-inch wheels, a lowered suspension, a higher top speed (155 mph), quicker claimed acceleration, and a dedicated Track mode.

For example, some Tesla vehicles were delivered with missing or watered-down USB ports, and front passenger-seat lumbar features were eliminated. Tesla CEO Elon Musk noted that the automaker has been able to use substitutes for the chips that are difficult or impossible to acquire.

3.1, the next generation of Tesla's FSD computer will be using chips manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC).

An executive at Maruti Suzuki India has said that they expect a recovery in chip shortages in the second quarter of 2023. The ongoing chip shortage, which affected the company's April production, will continue throughout May and June, the executive said.

Referred to as high-driving automation, Level 4 autonomy does not require any human interaction in the vehicle's operation because it is programmed to stop itself in the event of system failure. Since a human driver is never needed, a Level 4 vehicle may not have a steering wheel and pedals.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving cars are full self-driving Level 4 autonomous vehicles. But Elon Musk has misled regulators into designating FSD as only a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).

A camera is mounted above the rear license plate. Ultrasonic sensors (if equipped) are located in the front and rear bumpers. A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
