I own 2019 model 3. Car is falling apart which is why consumer reports Tesla in last place in reliability. Won’t fix things under warranty either, they claimed I hit a something when my front suspension failed which is a very common issue in my car. Also paid for FSD, but not getting upgraded to the new hardware like Musk promised so will never get true FSD. Worst car I ever bought.

What compelled you to buy FSD?
Promise of a self driving car.
Harsh lesson, but, yeah. You should never pay upfront for something which does not currently exist and may never exist.
Why don't you ask for a refund ?
It was mentioned on the Tesla earning's call in Q2 or Q3 2025 that HW3 FSD customers will likely be moved to a version of HW5 that accommodated the older camera sensors.
Why not just make HW4 backwards compatible? Why wait til 2027 to bring backwards compatibility to HW3? HW3 isn’t even on the latest stack any more, it’s on FSD12 and HW4 is on FSD14.
That is just another Musk lie and is never going to happen.
