Shortly after Tesla started delivering the Model Y with the new Hardware 4 computer and infotainment system, a teardown has revealed that the new hardware actually features half the RAM and storage of the HW4 system found in the Model S and X. This appears to be a cost-cutting measure that basically rules out the possibility of ever putting Steam on a HW4 Model 3 or Y.
