You don't understand. It's not like the self-driving feature is just software where they can price it at whatever they want. It's physically consuming brain cells every month. And those aren't free you know!

::: spoiler Do I really need a \s tag for this or does this tin foil hat make me look fat? :::

For my region it's one time fee 9k $ "only".
It is hilarious given the fact you can't legally use it so it turns into better break asistent 😅

Especially when you realize how bad, unfinished, and dangerous it is. You’re literally paying to be a crash test dummy / AI trainer for them. They should pay YOU.

They should make a discount for every person the self driving software hits. That shit would be basically free.

That's just the new subscription cost. It is meant a san alternative to the full purchase cost.

As functionality has been added, the price has increased over the years, the current price is $12,000 for the FSD upgrade over basic Autopilot.

The subscription also lets you try it out and cancel if you don't want it instead of having to make the decision up front for thousands of dollars.

I mean it's not actual "full self drive" to begin with. It's a lame impersonation of more advanced self driving vehicles that aren't even being sold yet. That doesn't matter to the elon fans though.

The lie that actually gets people killed, while also tainting the overall perception of autonomous vehicles. Thanks elon.

It's just that the license isn't transferable. The second owner has to (re)license the software from Tesla. Irrespective of whether the seller has a "perpetual" license.

I read it as the second owner would have to pay for it themselves to (re)unlock it. So Tesla would get paid twice for the feature in one car.

When I sell you my PC, you don’t get all my software licenses, games, and my internet service for free with it. You have to get your own licenses / subscriptions to those.
