Is FSD 12.6.4 The End Of The Line?

My 2020 Y has been stuck at this level for months, and there is still a lot of work to do before this can be considered FDS. I understand that HW3 and the 2020 sensors may not be up to the job, but that is not how the car and FSD was sold. I spent a lot of money on FSD before there was even a beta version, and have struggled through a lot of versions. Now, it seems, neither the computer nor sensors are inadequate for the job. Are all of the cars with this configuration going to limp along, short of the vision of FSD until the car dies?

I've already responded to a similar comment before, but I'll go ahead and say it here again. It is difficult to say. Why? Because until recently HW4 had also been nearly 3 months without an FSD update, and even when HW4 did get an update, it was a relatively minor update. Tesla did say that they will try to keep HW3 vehicles in the loop as long as possible, but that it would likely no longer be in feature parity with HW4. This means that HW3 may still get a slimmed down version of whatever HW4 users are getting, but it will likely take longer because Tesla has to optimize and slim down the newer versions to be compatible with HW3. So far, it seems that Tesla is so heavily focused on the Robotaxi launch in June, that they have hardly had any time for even HW4 updates. And my personal guess is that we won't know anything further about FSD until we are either nearly at Robotaxi launch, or a while after its launch. Either way, we are all patiently waiting to hear, and see what Tesla is working on or rather, has been working on for the last few months. I know one thing is certain however, because of the long delay between updates, this next one is going to be expected to deliver a lot. Because of that, the “let-down” is going to be astronomical if it doesn't.
