I’m guessing that Tesla will offer some deals on FSD at the end of the trial. I have been impressed by v12 so far, but I still wouldn’t pay $12k for a system that requires supervision. $199 a month is a little pricey as well. I’m guessing they would have a hit at $99/month. What do y’all think?

Doubt Elon will cut the subscription price in half. Discount to $10K? Maybe to move cars at the end of the quarter.

In its current state, not much. Definitely not $12k for sure. And I don't like subscriptions for software. In my experience with it on the loaner it's pretty cool, but still a novelty more than anything else.
Make it a viable hands-off eyes-on system and we'll talk.

This has been my dream since the first model S came out. Have my car drop me off at work, it spends the day making money, picks me up at end of day.

$50.00 a month would be an instant buy for me. I would stretch it to $100.00 for occasional use (vacation trips, etc) If I use it a lot during the trial period, I might change my mind.
They could do that. Give out free months. Gather data and tweak model. Try to sell full priced subscriptions. Fail. Give out free months. Gather data and tweak model….Does that mean they will be doing free 30 days more often?
This is where I’m at. L4 gets me time back. That has huge value. Right now the value is still limited. It is nice to let the car drive when I’m tired, but I’ll only pay so much for that benefit.
This poll is particularly illuminating given the selection bias of TMC.
Given that most consumers, of any vehicle brand, don't spend any time at all on fan forums...this poll can in no way reflect the general concensus of all Tesla consumers. I assume that most TMC members are (a) fans of Tesla, (b) early adopters of technology, (c) of relatively high income (e.g., households over 100K per year), and (d) excited about the potential of FSD.
I have FSD which I got during the $2K firesale (so this is a moot point) but I would only be willing to pay ~$25 a month for the current system....and maybe $50 a month if it got to L4. However, I am also an early adopter of most new technology, and am continually looking for the next thing (e.g., I update my iPhone basically every year.)
Most drivers don't even reliably use cruise control. So I wonder what the typical Tesla customer would be willing to pay...if anything at all?

IMO Tesla should stop *selling FSD (find other options to add sell value) and go to a subscription only. First all new Tesla come with 3 months free (enough to get someone hooked) and I think $100/mo or $1000 a year is the sweet spot. Seems likely Tesla could up the take rate by MANY MULTIPLES making it a true high profit product by putting it in practical finical reach.
At $12K or $200/mo it is just too much for the average consumer (not a commercial product so don't price like one) to fork over no matter how much they may want it.
*For people who bought they could still offer at trade in 5 years of "free" subscription.

This has to be frustrating for Musk. The technology is amazing, but it has to be basically perfect for him to really unlock the value. That’s really hard to do.
I agree that they should focus on subscriptions. I would be reluctant to buy because you don’t get the value back when you sell. Total the car driving off the lot? Sorry, you’re out $12k!

It also has to be frustrating that he says it is a basically a solved problem since 2015. Only off by 15 years, oh well.
