You know what Tesla told me? Somewhere between Jack and $hit.
This is simply not true.
The info is explicitly listed on the page you purchase FSD from
If you didn't read it- that's on you.
(it's also in the manual for the car, and in the various things you have to agree to to activate it IN the car after purchase, and appears every time you turn it on during driving too).
If I sell you software named "protect your baby"
Again- the name of a product does not have to literally be 100% accurate describing the product.
Diaper Genies do not grant wishes.
Southwest airlines flies in all directions.
Happy Meals do not inherently improve peoples moods.
Radio Flyers neither receive radio NOR fly.
I researched the cars myself, not many people I know (other than myself) read the owners manual cover to cover before receiving their car... If I had NOT researched the car, and having English as my native language I would have thought that Tesla had Full Self Driving as a $10,000 option in its cars!
Wait... so you claim Tesla didn't give you the info.
Then admit since you read the manual they did give you the info
Man-- even YOU don't agree with you!
I am still surprised that Tesla keeps raising the price of the FSD package. I do think once more competition shows up, GM Super Cruise becomes available in more models next year Tesla will be forced to reconsider the FSD pricing model.
To go from a GM vehicle without supercruise to the same model WITH it is a $15,000-$25,000 upcharge.
And it's less capable, and works fewer places, than Teslas system.
So 10k from Tesla seems pretty cheap.
Many of the reviews of Super Cruise say it performs better than AutoPilot even if it is geo-fenced since the majority of roads have been mapped now.
Neither claim here is accurate.
The vast majority of all roads have NOT been mapped. Just the vast majority of interstates.
Further- even your own MT link says Teslas system works better overall, and offers far more features.
As with the CR rankings, Teslas system is functionally better
The reason people keep ranking Supercrise as "better" is the driven monitoring system because they think it's "safer"
But of course Tesla recently began using the internal cameras for this too- so even that "advantage" is largely gone.
