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

Am at a loss: is the $2k FSD offer going away on Monday?

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
No, neural network is not a fancy word for graphics card. A Neural Network Primer | Condé Nast Technology
Graphics cards aren't designed to process tons of data quickly. They are designed to generate images. Modern graphics cards just happen to have a lot of fairly fast parallel processing capability that make them a decent option for solving certain problems. They are somewhat generic (meaning can be programmed to solve different types of problems) and relatively cheap.
However, if you are serious about speed then specialized hardware will always be faster than software run on a generic processor. When bitcoin first started people were mining on generic CPUs. Then when bitcoins became more scarce, people moved to graphics cards. But for many years now even graphics cards aren't fast enough; serious bitcoin miners use custom built hardware.
I doubt a neural network processor would be much use in mining bitcoins - despite the fact that both can be run on a GPU there's not much similarity.
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.

In your case paying the full $5k is getting you the initial EAP features too. So you will get advanced summon + NoA and auto Lane change. Others on here who already spent $5k on EAP are not getting any features at this time for spending the extra 2k for FSD.
Get what you want. I ain't buying an in ICE car in 2020, that's for sure.
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?
I think this podcast is worth a listen...
FSD/Autonomous portion starting at 8m12s; FSD "feature complete this year with certainly" -- but doesn't mean we can use it -- needs to wait until the regulators approve it.
Also starting at 16m32s, about HW2.5 nvidia chip vs custom HW3 processor.

Are your friggin’ serious? Buy the car you want because YOU want it. This is a chat room that in the grand scheme of things means next to nothing. This is a car, not a lifestyle, not a deity, not a statement about the world. It’s a car. If you dig it, buy it, if your don’t? Don’t. But changing what car you drive because of whether people who drive them comment in a chat room one way or another? Really?? Wow.
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.
