No Retina models are designed for user-serviceability. You have to buy what yo uneed now, not upgrade latter.

OK then what non-retina models can I upgrade the hard drive with? I'm looking for 2012 to 2015.

The only Mac notebook in that range which has a user replaceable hard drive is the 13” MBP which has an internal DVD. All MacBook Air models can be upgraded until 2013 and after and the retina MBP 2012 and early 2013 can be upgraded but those are 3rd party upgrades and Apple doesn’t consider those computers user upgradeable. If the computer you bought still had an active AppleCare extended warranty the upgrade could void it.
