Tesla isn't selling self driving on these cares without a retrofit per the article.

I'm not sure. From the article:

"Tesla vehicles can still use the current “level 2” versions of its driver assistance systems, Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (or FSD), without the dual-control steering system.

But employees told CNBC if Tesla launches a more sophisticated FSD update, owners with the affected cars who use that premium system will need to get a steering rack retrofit from a Tesla service center."

(Emphasis mine)
