Tesla's answer: "be patient" ============================================================== One week after launch: 4,000 verified owners from 29 countries, 40+ media across 16 countries, Hart van Nederland coverage, and expansion to Australia, New Zealand and Canada. One week after launch: over 4,000 verified owners from 29 countries. Estimated combined FSD spend exceeds 9 million euros. The [statistics page](https://hw3claim.nl/en/stats) shows current figures. Hart van Nederland ------------------ Interviewed by Hart van Nederland (SBS6), one of the Netherlands' most-watched news programmes. The segment covers the core question: what did Tesla promise, what happened, and what does it mean for the thousands of owners who signed up. Airing at 17:50 and 22:30 on SBS6. I called Tesla -------------- Last week I called Tesla and [recorded the conversation](https://x.com/mischamartijn/status/2045182407800680713). The question was simple: when does FSD come to Hardware 3? The response: **"there is no information about when it comes, or if it will come at all."** After checking with the manager: **"you just have to be patient."** Five minutes after hanging up, Tesla closed the ticket with a link to book a test drive. Three new countries: Australia, New Zealand and Canada ------------------------------------------------------ Over the past week I received messages from HW3 owners worldwide, particularly Australia, New Zealand and Canada. They're in the same position: **Australia and New Zealand**: FSD Supervised has been running there since September 2025, but only on HW4 hardware. HW3 owners paid AUD 10,100 or NZD 11,000 for FSD and can't use it. In Australia, a class action is underway through [Echo Law](https://www.teslaaction.com/). **Canada**: FSD is available, but HW3 cars are stuck on version 12.6 while HW4 runs version 14. Same promise, same problem. Starting today, HW3 Claim accepts sign-ups from these three countries. This is purely inventory: mapping how many owners are affected and what they paid. For Australian owners seeking legal action, I'm currently pointing to the existing [Australian class action](https://www.teslaaction.com/). International media ------------------- Over the past week, more than 40 outlets across 16 countries have covered this initiative. Among them [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/car-owners-are-revolting-over-teslas-self-driving-promises-b76edcdd) (US), [Business Insider](https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-owners-fsd-europe-full-self-driving-netherlands-2026-4) (UK), [TechRadar](https://www.techradar.com/vehicle-tech/hybrid-electric-vehicles/ive-waited-seven-years-tesla-owners-in-europe-demand-usd7-500-refund-as-full-self-driving-is-locked-out-for-older-vehicles) (US/UK), [Golem.de](https://www.golem.de) (Germany), [Numerama](https://www.numerama.com/vroom/2232599-tesla-me-doit-6-400-e-un-proprietaire-de-model-3-hw3-veut-attaquer-la-marque-en-justice-a-cause-du-fsd.html) (France), [HLN](https://www.hln.be/autobedrijven/mijn-compassie-is-nu-weg-nederlander-gaat-viraal-met-schadeclaim-tegen-tesla-tientallen-belgen-volgen-hem~aa6ded92) (Belgium) and [Nate News](https://news.nate.com/view/20260420n14576) (South Korea). The full list is on the press page. Evidence page updated --------------------- The evidence page has been expanded with three new items: - Tesla's deletion of the 2016 blog post about self-driving hardware, and the subsequent softening of language to "designed for autonomy". - Elon Musk's March 2024 statement that "all training is for Hardware 3", two years before everything shifted to HW4. - Electrek's overview of Tesla's global legal exposure up to $14.5 billion, in which HW3 Claim is mentioned. Next steps ---------- In discussions with international class action specialists to determine the right legal route. I cannot share more at this point, but as soon as there are concrete steps, notification will follow. What you need to know: - No signatures or payments are required at this time - The collection phase continues - Updates will follow by email as soon as there is concrete action What you can do now ------------------- 1. **Share** [**hw3claim.nl**](https://hw3claim.nl) with other HW3 owners in your network. Every additional profile strengthens the position. 2. **Keep your original purchase invoice** for the FSD package (if you have FSD). It's the most important piece of evidence. 3. **Follow** [**@mischamartijn on 𝕏**](https://x.com/mischamartijn) for real-time updates. What doesn't change ------------------- This initiative is and remains a collection initiative. There is no lawsuit. The legal focus remains on owners who purchased FSD based on Tesla's promise. Adding countries or non-FSD owners does not change that core. It shows how far Tesla's promise reached. I still prefer to have a direct conversation with Tesla. That invitation stands. Thank you to everyone who signed up. Your trust is the reason this initiative can exist. Cette actualité a été envoyée par e-mail le 20 avril 2026 à 4 026 participants vérifiés.
