Oh dear f'ing God people, stop all the whining! Here is your opportunity to get in on the ground level of FSD, with new hardware, and new features for cheap and all you can do is whine. Put down your cold, hard cash and get on board. If not, no big deal. But don't come back whining later when it now costs more, say $10000, and that you deserve those features because yada yada yada, and Elon is so terrible to charge you $10000, that you just couldn't make a decision at the time because of how fragile it all made you feel. :Rollseyes: Either support Tesla or don't, your choice. Tesla will be rewarded those who bought when they could, and right now it's a steal.
From an economic point of view what is the cost to Tesla of having 100,000 cars out there or 100,001 cars. The software is already developed. It's likely going to come down to a processor or board swap in the car. This could be a $100-200. So in theory the price will likely never rise above $5k as they've seen it puts off too many sales. Tesla seemed to have proved with it's recent fire sale that AP and FSD are worth a lot less marginal cost. The physical cost to Tesla of 1 more AP sale is $0 (or the cost of somebody switching a button and sending a software update to your car) - maybe $1 for 5min of somebody on minimum wage.
