FSD - basic stat and proposal

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Below are some very stat about FSD:

1. Musk said there are 300 million miles driven under FSD. US total miles driven is about 3 trillion miles a year. So FSD is about 0.01% total miles driven.

2. There about 2 million Tesla on road in US. There about 200 million automobiles in US. So Tesla is about 1% of total cars on road.

3. Assuming 1 and 2 above are ballpark right estimates, we can say 1 out of 100 Tesla owners use FSD regularly.

Hence I think for FSD to go mainstream, there are some options:

1. Tesla to license FSD to other EV makers

2. Drop FSD subscription/purchase cost to much more affordable level, say 80 pct reduction of 12k

3. To open source FSD so it becomes industry standard

What do u think? My point is that if Tesla were to leave FSD in current state, it would be like $8k color wrap, with 1% Tesla driver using it, FSD can never become real revenue generator.

If FSD worked well customers would use it regularly and it would pretty much sell itself. There are reasons TSLA dropped FSD pricing and other auto manufacturers aren't licensing FSD.
