but when they buy the Ford, are they also paying for a $5000 upgraded night vision windshield, and then Ford keeps pushing back installing it for 3 years? And won’t let you transfer the option to a new vehicle, since it’s ford’s fault it’s not finished?
If you are talking about FSD ... that was already discussed. Buyers should know what they are getting into and that has nothing to do with the affordability issue. So compare the SR+ with no FSD at $39.9K to an F-150 avg selling price at $47.6K. In that example, there's no such option that Tesla is not delivering on, and in fact, with all the OTA updates, you are getting more value as the car gets older. That *never* happens with any other car.
