Tesla's approach to hardware configuration dates back to the Model S era when the company transitioned from Mobileye to its in-house system. This early decision set the foundation for their current setup, which heavily influences their AI development process. Because the hardware architecture was locked in early on, subsequent vehicles like the Model 3, Y, X, and even the Cybertruck have inherited and adapted this design, often leading to compatibility and performance challenges.
