I've looked all over the tesla.com website. Why do current owners find the page that lists FSD purchase option?

I’m pretty sure they are making it sound like this is it. The cars will self drive with rhis tech. I am inclined to believe that another upgrade will be required, but this has been one of their big sales points.There's pretty much 0 chance of getting L5 driving out of HW3 (and the sensor suite currently in tesla cars) so driver jobs are just fine (also likely why Tesla walked back what FSD offers a substantial amount lately).
I think there's a pretty excellent shot at L3/4 on divided highways though, once regulation isn't a mishmash of 50 different sets of state regulations (or lack thereof)... which would honestly be plenty for me as far as value out of FSD.
Yes. They charge full sales tax on software upgrades. Just not on the cars.For those you bought AP and/or FSD in the last couple days, did you have to pay sales taxes?
Is neural network another fancy term for graphics card? Apple does this. It’s cheap LCD tech is liquid retina with special color technology and it’s processor is bionic. Special names for the same tech.Creating specialized hardware to do a single task very quickly doesn't require a breakthrough in technology. Graphics cards do a lot of things that are not related to neural networks, and the programmable architecture that makes graphics cards useful for certain tasks is not the most optimal solution for running a neural network. While a neural network can be run on a graphics card, pretty much every company that is serious about NN is designing their own hardware. So trying to compare the custom chip Tesla has designed to anything from NVIDIA is pointless.
The main job of a graphics card isn't analyzing images, it's creating images, mostly for video games. In principal, Tesla, by targeting the card at analyzing images rather than rendering them, can reduce cost and improve analysis performance. Presumably that's what Tesla has done with their design, although I've not seen any details as to how it works.It’s still takes a high end graphics card to process tons of data quickly like 8 feeds of HD, a bunch of other sensors, and the computing power to analyze that data and make decisions in real time..
I am curious if Tesla could ever get their stuff to be labeled Level 5 if they require driver engagement. With the existing sensor suite I am not sure how they could ge to the point where they do not need human oversight.There's pretty much 0 chance of getting L5 driving out of HW3 (and the sensor suite currently in tesla cars) so driver jobs are just fine (also likely why Tesla walked back what FSD offers a substantial amount lately).

No, neural network is not a fancy word for graphics card. A Neural Network Primer | Condé Nast TechnologyIs neural network another fancy term for graphics card? Apple does this.

If not, then they must have made some incredible breakthrough. Hopefully Tesla uses their $250 Neural Network machines to mine Bitcoin and take over the world.
I bought AP for $2K today. Still mulling over FSD for $3K. The current value proposition for FSD is poor, but it looks like that's where the future action is going to be, and the announced additions for surface street driving do seem interesting. Should I buy now, while its cheap but not worth that much, or wait, and get more but also likely pay more? Decisions, decisions...
Get what you want. I ain't buying an in ICE car in 2020, that's for sure.Expecting SuperCruise in the 2020 XT5. Good enough.

I paid the $2k for the FSD upgrade this morning and got 2019.5.15 pushed this afternoon. Wonder if I got it because of the FSD upgrade or just coincidence and would have gotten it anyway?
Thanks! First click on autopilot and FSD appears.Log in to you Tesla account. Click on Manage. Should be listed there if you scroll down.
So people are THANKING him for increasing the price for others so they’re not butt-hurt?!
What a warped sense of reality.
“You can’t have it for less than me, that’s not fair!!!”
Really.
I’m absolutely, 100% serious - I don’t think I want a Tesla now. Not because of the car, or because of the pricing or any of that.
But because I don’t want to be associated with petulent babies who act like that.
Expecting SuperCruise in the 2020 XT5. Good enough.
Of course you’re free to use whatever criteria you want to make decisions, but I have to say that your post looks kinda like its trolling to me. I cannot imagine making a car purchasing decision based on a small but vocal group of people complaining about something that has no relevance to me.I wouldn’t either. But a lease? Sure. I can do another one. That’ll get me by till either the Y, or Cadillac’s electric SUV.
This is seriously one of the most whiny, selfish things I’ve ever seen. Just shaking my head. In what crazy world does it make someone feel better to scorch-earth things for those come who after you?
