Elon Musk's AI5 Chip Update: Why HW4 Teslas Aren't Obsolete & FSD Is Still Worth It
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're like me and glued to all things Tesla, Elon's latest update on the next-gen AI chips is going to get you excited (and maybe a little FOMO). But don't worry—I'm breaking it down for you, addressing the haters, and sharing why now's still a great time to grab Full Self-Driving (FSD). Plus, some must-have Tesla accessories to pimp your ride.
Elon's Big Reveal on AI5, AI6, and Beyond
Elon dropped this gem recently: "Our AI5 chip design is almost done and AI6 is in early stages but there will be AI7, AI8, AI9 aiming for a 9-month design cycle." He's even calling for talent to join Tesla because these will be "the highest volume AI chips in the world by far."
Tesla's HW5 (AI5) chips are slated for high-volume production in 2027 (Elon time, so maybe 2027-2028). This means constant innovation—HW3, HW4, and now HW5 on the horizon. It's the classic Tesla story: you can never perfectly time buying one because something awesome is always around the corner. But that's a good thing! It keeps Tesla pushing boundaries in autonomy, vehicles, and more.
HW4 Teslas aren't suddenly worthless. They're crushing it today, and this roadmap just shows Tesla's long-term dominance in AI driving tech.
Debunking the FSD FUD: Don't Listen to the Naysayers
Tesla YouTuber Joy posted: "If you're smart, you wouldn't buy it. You can't transfer FSD to a Tesla for the rest of your life. So, you're throwing 8K down the toilet."
I strongly disagree. Here's why:
- FSD transfers are live right now—Tesla has run programs before and can turn them on anytime.
- Used market value holds strong: Compare a 2022-2023 Model 3/Y with FSD vs. without—FSD adds $2,000-$3,000 to the street price.
- You're not 'throwing money away': If you're an FSD believer, you'll use it daily (robotaxi future, anyone?). It's either $8K upfront, $99/month subscription, or whatever the future rate is.
Bottom line: FSD enhances your Tesla today and retains value. If you're pending delivery and want FSD at half off, fill out my Linktree inquiry form below. I'll hook you up!
