HUGE DIFFERENCE! TESLA AUTOPILOT HARDWARE 3 VS 4 - HERE'S WHAT THE CAMERAS CAN REALLY SEE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed, albeit wet, comparison of Tesla's Autopilot Hardware 3 versus Hardware 4, utilizing the service mode to display raw camera feeds. The reviewer highlights that while Hardware 4 on the Model Y (Long Range, 2023) generally offers a slightly better, less hazy image with more accurate color saturation, it surprisingly lacks the narrow pitch camera view available on the Hardware 3 Model 3 (RWD, 2023). A significant drawback noted for Hardware 4 is its susceptibility to issues with b-pillar cameras, leading to frequent disengagements of auto lane changes, particularly at night or in rain. The video also touches upon the removal of ultrasonic sensors, deeming it a detrimental cost-saving measure. Ultimately, the review suggests that while Hardware 4 shows incremental improvements, it's not a revolutionary leap, and the long-term viability of Tesla's vision-only approach remains to be seen.
