Yes, Elon tweets aspirational time. That's rarely more than retrospective time.

THAT'S IT!
Recall that Elon has a degree in physics. Does anyone know if his academic advisor was a fusion researcher? It would explain so much!
Elon- Goes out to ~1000 Beta participants later today (8/20)
I think I'd rather spend $15K on uber rides. Mobileye please come to the rescue.

I think that you'd be surprised how much it costs to take an Uber in places like NYC.I think I'd rather spend $15K on uber rides. Mobileye please come to the rescue.
I wouldn’t spend $15k on FSD but I certainly would rather spend the same bag of $$ on FSD than Uber. FSD is much more entertaining.I think I'd rather spend $15K on uber rides. Mobileye please come to the rescue.

This price hike contributes to the validity of my previous speculation that Tesla wants to sell fewer FSD add-ons at higher prices. At this price point, I'd be surprised that many people would even consider buying it. The subscription model seems to be what Tesla wants to use for FSD.
I have plenty of uber receipts in NYC to know how much it costs, but as you know, the subway works well there. Wife prefers comfort of uber over subway, but I prefer subway.

For me there's too much NYC subway crime to only consider price.
On the other hand, FSD pricing is too far in front of the skis. It might be comforting to know you bought it for a lower initial price but you still get wacked against the head when buying FSD for your next Tesla. Maybe Tesla universally implements that recent China promo where you get ~50% FSD trade in value.

Woof! On the price hike .. makes me feel a little bit better about adding it some years ago at $4k. It also makes my old 2017 feel positively new (with some of the hDW upgrades we had todo). It will be a dis incentive for the average non technical user. Which is probabbaly good In Keeping down accidents due to not understanding the real beta nature of this. Only wish the worth to the used market was so strong (it isn’t at the moment )
You said you had me on “ignore”.
GOT YOU!
I have you on ignore too, but the UI gives you the option to unhide. and on occasions like this, it's entertaining to see why someone else responded to you the way they did.

You got a point there. My wife reminded me yesterday that the upcoming FSD price change is 5 times more than my first brand new car off the lot. Yes, I was born in the Fred Flintstone era
Ok, to be fair and accounting for inflation. FSD is $3,000 less than my first car. BUT I got a WHOLE CAR for that price 
...but you had to supply your own drivetrain back then Mr. Flintstone..... Yes, I was born in the Fred Flintstone era
Yeah, I'd say the price hasn't REALLY changed until the subscription price changes.
If the subscription price changes you know it really works.
I do find it a bit disturbing that Elon is raising the price rather dramatically on something where there is no guarantee that the buyer is even going to get into the beta within a few months of purchase.
In fact it seems like a rather cruel FOMO move.

yea, I figured someone would be saying that
There are a whole lot other things I had to do to. The worst part compared to today was having to drive across the USA with a map on the dash and even it was not always correct.Similar threads
