FSD Version 11 is good, but can only go so far because it is constrained by its approach parameters (object recognition, labels, etc).
and its sensor suite, sensor locations, computing power, communications with the mothership servers, and the ever-appreciated delivery of an improved feature while breaking something else.
If FSD V12 neural net AI generated code approach is the correct path, then I expect FSD to advance very rapidly and with significant improvements with every software update.
Have expectations is generally a good thing. Occasionally meeting them is much better and that’s the void.
And I also expect FSD to be safer than the average driver within 12 months and 10x better in 24 months.
Again, good to have expectations, however unfounded. Putting any time line against a Tesla development effort is a lottery-type guess.
I wonder what a FSD subscription will cost then.
It will cost whatever. For the Model 3 it has varied from the low, low act-now price of only $2000 to a high of $15,000 and today at $12,000. Not quite the dream of ever-increasing pricing due to ever-increasing DELIVERED capability.
Kinda hoping my MSP appreciates.
Again with the expectations couched as a hope. With the exception of classic automobiles, and universal used car shortages, no car has ever appreciated, MSPs included. While nice if it did, I’m not seeing evidence of this happening or even likely. What do you see?
....and then there's an Optimus subscription.
Tesla will make this happen.
Those of us who bought into the hype and made the silly “investment” in FSD all have this hope. Now, however, we temper that with reality and resetting expectations much, much lower. Certainly not everyone but there is definitely more of a “show me first and then you’ll get my money” attitude than there was in the earlier days.

Thanks for Lenny’s inspirational message this morning…I needed that. For Tesla, the greater issue seems to be its desire to reinvent wheels unnecessarily (AutoWipers is the stellar example here). So yeah, Tesla is “happening to things” but for some things probably should not have. How they can accurately land rockets yet not get wipers working well is concerning to me. I don’t ride rockets, I do drive my M3.
