Tesla Hardware 4.5 spotted in new Model Y, triggers speculation
"As per the Model Y owner, the vehicle includes a new front camera housing and a 16-inch center display, along with an Autopilot computer labeled "AP45" and part number 2261336-02-A. The Tesla owner later explained that he confirmed the part number by briefly pulling down the upper carpet liner beneath the Model Y's glovebox, a process that requires no tools and exposes the vehicle's Autopilot computer."
"These sightings suggest that Tesla may already be installing revised FSD computers in its new Model Y batches, despite the company not yet making any formal announcements about Hardware 4.5. What Hardware 4.5 could represent Clues about Hardware 4.5 have surfaced previously in Tesla's Electronic Parts Catalog. As reported by NotATeslaApp, the catalog has listed a component described as "CAR COMPUTER - LEFT HAND DRIVE - PROVISIONED - HARDWARE 4.5." The component, which features the part number 2261336-S2-A, is priced at $2,300.00."
Owners taking delivery of recent Model Y builds have identified components labeled "AP45". A Fremont-built 2026 Model Y AWD Premium delivered in January includes a new front camera housing, a 16-inch center display, and an Autopilot computer labeled AP45 with part number 2261336-02-A. The part number was confirmed by pulling down the upper carpet liner beneath the glovebox, exposing the Autopilot computer. Multiple owners, including December and Austin-built Model Y Performance deliveries, have reported similar findings. Tesla's electronic parts catalog lists a "CAR COMPUTER - LEFT HAND DRIVE - PROVISIONED - HARDWARE 4.5" component (2261336-S2-A) priced at $2,300. These sightings suggest revised FSD computers may be entering production ahead of the upcoming AI5 chip.
