HW3: any evidence of an upgrade for 2018 owners? (unconfirmed)

📍 Reddit Tesla FSD October 18, 2026 at 08:02 PM

Unconfirmed: A Tesla owner with a 2018 HW3 vehicle asks on Reddit whether there is evidence that what he says Musk stated on an earnings call will happen: that HW3 owners could upgrade to newer hardware. The author says he read this elsewhere, but cites no transcript, statement, or date. His central question is whether anything verifiable exists beyond Musk's statements. The post is an open question to the community, not a Tesla announcement, and includes no details on program, costs, eligibility, or timing. Replies in the thread are not included in the source text.

Post cites a Musk earnings call remark on upgrading HW3 vehicles.
No official statement, date, or program is cited in the text.

📈 Upside: Not applicable.

📉 Risk: If the promise does not materialize, HW3 owners would rely only on Musk's verbal statements, with no defined scope or timeline.
