Some Teslas don't have the sensor hardware and the compute power to do road-safe FSD. This is something Tesla engineers learned the hard way.
Things may change in the future as we make advances in computing and AI, but right now it is not possible.

His boldness and thinking he's exceptional is both the reason of his success and failures.
The good thing is that we, as humanity, benefit from his successes, but have also deal with his unfulfillable promises, not to mention occasional fits.
Come on now. Elon was the one being pigheadedly stubborn about camera vision over LIDAR. There's really no reason to think this was a case where the engineers were insisting on a viable approach that unfortunately proved infeasible over time.
They weren't going to be able to do it with the tech they put in the cars and damn near everyone knew it. We shouldn't think their engineers were uniquely blind to what everyone was saying when it's fairly clear that there was a top down push here.
No matter how good the AI is, the car is not going to be able to drive if the image is a big white blob of blown out sun or bird poop, and there is no redundant sensor.
I can move my eyes, put on sunglasses, lower the sun visor. That rinkydink camera is stuck looking straight at the sun. It’s a no go.
