In that case though, it makes it a better deal. If FSD came stock with Tesla's performance trims, then I'd say it might actually be worth it. As it stands, I don't value the P or the FSD.

I can get an acceleration boost for my Y that supposedly improves the 0-60 time from 4.8 to 4.2 seconds for $2000. The performance version has a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds so it's not quite the same but it's also $3000 cheaper and quite honestly, even 4.8 seconds is pretty darned fast and easily enough to smoke almost every other car on the road anyway. I can't see that even the $2000 is worth it.

I misunderstood, sorry. When I mentioned "P" I was talking about a performance model, since it was suggested the FSD might come with a higher trim level from a different manufacturer.
He is correct. 4.8 0-60 is faster than most vehicles on the road today, can do 0-60 including a Ferrari Testarossa

4.8 seconds? Why my cripple grandmother can crawl faster than that!

That site can't be accurate. They've got the Chevy S10 pickup listed as the fastest 0-60 of only 1.08 seconds. Maybe it's supposed to be 10.8??
I'd like to see that S10 launch that fast.
I think it’s a weird love hate with the FSD. You know the saying, “you don’t know what you don’t know” I feel like paying $10k for FSD gave me a true experience and a lesson that FSD in its current state isn’t worth $10k. It’s an expensive lesson but without paying for the lesson, I would’ve never truly known how I feel about it.
It’s not something you can experience and make a solid opinion about in a day or two. You have to play with the gimmicky features, evaluate how often you use them over a certain period of time, play with the beta, use it in different conditions and situations, and then make your own personal opinion of the entire package and what it has to offer today.

Go for it, my only regret with getting it on the initial order was not realizing i'd pay less in registration if I bought it after I got the car... but if you're locked in to the 10k price then it's worth it, it's hopefully not going down in price so it's at least a decent investment.

FOMO.
So, you may like it. But there are a lot of techies who don't like testing.
I think the most important thing about FSD Beta is that it is a test software. Are you into testing .... ?
Don't buy for the future .... because future is highly uncertain. Your 10k today in $TSLA is likely to be worth a lot more in a year than $10k in FSD.
I bought FSD to participate in the journey - knowing it will be a very bumpy road. Think of it as a $10k hobby.

@Firocity One more thing. When you drive using Beta it feels very different from how it looks on Youtube. You can search here - so many have commented on this. Think of it like this - actually climbing Mt Everest is very different from watching a movie / video of climbing Everest.
You mean it may be more jerky, less refined, and the driver may not be as relaxed as it appears?
It drives extremely cautiously (when its not running into poles and airplanes and crossing double yellow lines) which makes perfect sense. And sure, you can certainly ignore the long angry horn honks behind you and middle fingers as FSD creeps and takes it time making moves. But chances are, you'll end up switching it off and taking over and just driving in a more natural manner.

FSD/FSD-beta is obviously not for everyone. Some of us thrive on the climb/fall, others not so much. I'm of a profession of adrenalin junkies. However, fear of heights is a real thing.
