What's the most amazing is that Elon mentioned on twitter that it's only using data gathered in the past month since they announced the hardware/first video.

That's a little bit of a misdirection. They certainly learned a lot about how to build their models and what data is important, and this results in more effective training.
But why wouldn't they use old training data to make it even better ?
Could be because there'd be assertions made under the old system, that were later found to be unhelpful or unwise?
A simple one, the old system didn't have 8 cameras so you don't have the full training data you need.
