4. Pay a "transfer" fee to trsnsfer FSD to new car purchase.
That's what they want us to do now. The fee is $10,000.

Probably longer term they want car as a service.
well, got my new updated quote...And since then Elon has said he fixed that. He also reiterated that on the call today. People have confirmed that it changed.
Here's the comparison for Super Cruise, a much worse system compared to FSD package. And btw, Tesla offers basic AP, which is arguably better than Super Cruise for "free":

correctSo what happens to those people who total their car and insurance doesn't acknowledge the software's value? Do they just pay for a service they will never see, since FSD is still in limited beta mode?
correct
yea, I'm thinking from this point on I will only buy a used Tesla (since they just throw in FSD). Looking at a Cybertruck for maybe 2025 (so i might end up with a 2023 or 2024 model with FSD)I guess the good thing about this is that when you go shopping for a used tesla you might come across one that doesn't consider FSD to boost the price of the car, so in that case, it would be okay. The person just has to buy a used tesla. It kinda contradicts the whole narrative of appreciating asset that Elon was talking about, but at least at this point, the ads I'm seeing on used cars are pretty decent. Overall, I'm a first day reservation person, so I'm glad I haven't had an accident yet with my car to be in this predicament.
Can someone point me to the time where Tesla promised this sort of thing for FSD? Either on the order page or otherwise?
I don't agree that buying apps on your iphone is akin to fsd, at least not as a historical precedent.
Buying FSD and having it be not transferable is the same as buying Final Cut Pro on the Mac and having it be not transferable, even though it’s still your own account.

An iPhone app is cheap, so not such a big deal. On the other hand, software worth hundreds or thousands of dollars being tied only to a single piece of hardware is harder to rebuy.
Even expensive CAD software ($100k per seat) that is licensed based makes it transferable when upgrading hardware.
Tesla just wants to be able to switch back and forth between the software and hardware models whenever it suits them to squeeze every last penny from customers, because there is no competition in EVs. This has worked for my first Tesla purchase, but will definitely factor into whether I will buy another car from them.
well, got my new updated quote...
$35,400CAD for a 2018 Model 3 Long Range RWD with FSD (65,000km)
That is actually LOWER than the quote i got a month ago.
So again I will say that Tesla DOES NOT give a damn whether you bought FSD. They put ZERO value into it.
There is no real reason for them to offer a transfer.
