That is pretty cool. I like the idea that you are basically getting a primary upgrade without having to buy new hardware. Kind of like a 1.0 to a 2.0 upgrade without all the extra hassle. I don't understand what all of those things do, but if you are excited about it, I am excited about it :)

There are sometimes hardware limitations to which updates you receive. My '22 has HW3 (Hardware v.3) but Tesla rolled out HW4 in 2024 and this includes higher res cameras that allow Full Self-Driving to perform a little better. Also, older (pre-2018) Model S and X's have older computers that owners will sometimes upgrade so they can utilize all of the latest and greatest features. The word is the camera-suite and processors will get yet another upgrade soon to AI5 which will be on par with what RoboTaxi has. This will optimize the vehicles for full autonomy. Tesla has said they'll upgrade everyone for free who has purchased Full Self Driving. This is going to cost them a boatload of money. The cameras are relatively inexpensive though compared to the cost of upgrading the computer.
Ah yeah, I guess that makes sense. I wasn't even thinking about the cameras.
