My understanding is that all new Tesla vehicles have all the necessary hardware, and the features are software-locked behind that $8,000 fee.

Apparently, these features can also be unlocked at a future time, for a higher fee of $10,000.

Just new? My understanding is that all applies to every single Model S ever produced.

Just new ones, since fall of 2016. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot for more on the different hardware generations.

The 8 camera system with NVidia hardware has been built into all Model S since October 2016. Before they used a Mobileye system with one camera. Only the 8 camera system is promised to achieve full autonomy.
