If you buy a Tesla you deserve a Tesla.
On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”
Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂
How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.
Another Musk business model that’ll die… But not before he grifts stupid shareholders…
Well you know, you gotta phase these things out before sweeping them under the rug.
If you cut it off cold turkey everyone will be like “I did Natzi that one coming”.
I do like shorting Tesla, it’s expensive, but it just feels good
You short Tesla stock? Have you ever timed it and made a profit on it? I know there’s been pockets that it could have been profitable to you. But seems to me that you’d just be feeding money to actual shareholders.
I buy very cheap, very long dated puts and am happy to pay the premium
I would think they first would have to actually release the feature.
Apparently we live in a reality in which you don’t need to have a product in order make it shit anymore.
Star Citizen says hi
Star citizen is very playable right now, which is more than can be said for the full self driving
Yeah, it is an incredible vitual storefront. So many ways to spend money.
With no requirement to do so, even the largest ship you can earn ingame with about 500 hours of gameplay
And I would think that before releasing the feature they’d have to get it to stop constantly crashibg cars into large stationary objects.
It’s probably vibe-coded.
You misunderstand. The subscription is to get permission to drive your own car. Self driving slop is going to be the default.
Surely you jest.
You need to sign up for a 3 year subscription to be put on the waiting list for the product that will be ready in 5 years after you subscribed. If you don’t renew after the first 3 years you lose your spot and need to reapply.
yeah the self driving has not been approved anywhere yet. this is “supervised” only
this just the first step of burying the failure
Anyone who still thinks he’s a genius should be mocked mercilessly.
To be fair, he’s a genius in continuesly scamming people without losing their faith in him. Although it’s less geniusness and more stupidity of other people. Yeah he’s not a genius, he’s a scammer. Not even an artist at it.
“Oh think I’ll treat myself to a month of gamble driving”
Fools and their money are soon parted - over and over again if they’re Tesla fanboys.
Oh jeez, enshittification is so fast with today’s companies…
No thanks, Nazi.
You have got to be a goddamn moron to buy a Tesla.
I feel so dumb over here having paid off my current car and giving no subscription money to anyone to use all the features of my car. I’m a fool!
Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.
And on that note, I would absolutely download a car.
Well, I wouldn’t download this car.
$99 dollars a month to kill yourself. Shit, I can commit suicide for free.
So if your subscription runs out while driving does the Tesla just stop on the road or does it immediately drive back to the dealership till you pay it?
It’s only for the “Full Self driving” feature. It would likely just disable the feature.
Burst into flames
Facts!
Kinda a crazy move considering that they were charging 8k for “fsd” before, and are moving to a monthly subscription of a hundred bucks a month.
You would have to own your Tesla for six and a half years for them to make the same return. My guess is that the hundred dollars a month is just the initial price which will drastically inflate over time. That or they are just going to raise prices by 8k and still charge you a subscription cost anyways…
Or you get more people buying in. 8k up front looks a lot different than a couple hundred a month.
I’d rather just pay it once and have it.
Like video games. Just let me pay money for the whole game.
Rational people don’t buy Teslas.
the problem is it’s non-transferrable, so if you want to sell the car (or totaled it) before ~6 years you would lose money compared to paying $100/month.
What? Purchasing a premium package for your car vanishes when it transfers to a new owner?
If you buy a premium trim, it doesn’t vanish if you resell the car.
the hardware is there regardless of trim. you are paying for the right to use the hardware already in the car you purchased.
Oh that’s just another nail in the coffin of me EVER buying a Tesla
If it was transferable like idk, any other option you get on your car, the 8k price tag could at least be offset by like 20-50% by the car having better value when selling it on. This way it’s just… Wtf. Imagine paying 8k and then selling the car after a year and the next person has to pay 8k too.
100 bucks a month starting to seem reasonable in comparison indeed
Wouldn’t the car sell for more because of the extra features?
The feature is tied to the account, not the car 💡
At one point they were charging $15k for it, and Elmo was claiming it would go to $100k in its final form. You know, when it actually fucking worked. Which it never will.
They seem to be dropping the price until they find a price point where a decent percentage of their users will actually pay for the service.
If the system was genuinely self driving, as in the vehicle could run unattended, it would be worth having.
I bought it for my Tesla (back when I had it) for $2500. Shitty decision, but I believed the hype. Can’t wait to get my $5 check from the class action suit.
Except for they don’t have the hardware to do that reliably since musk goes for cheapest parts possible and removes redundancy
Nah, I suspect nobody was buying the feature. They may increase the price if they get it to truly work, but I suspect a hundred odd a month is what most people are willing to pay.
Yes, I suspect this is a chas flow thing. Their sales are dropping. The feature is there, sonit costs nothing to give it. See if they can milk a few dollars. Even if it makes less money on the long term, it might stop the share price crashing in the medium or short term.
