FSD Pricing

I don’t have the v12 yet (stupid 2024.8.x branch), but based on my three month FSD referral code promo at purchase last September, I would be very tempted at ~$99 or less per month.
As for the $12,000 outright purchase: hell no. Unless the purchase goes with the driver (I.e. multiple future Teslas on my name), although even that not sure. $12K is a lot of money

I don’t know that I would pay for it until it can recognize potholes better. But $50 would be what I would pay for the service.
Inference runs on the cars. I think you mean training.
They needed to charge so much because Elon thought they were building robotaxi software. He thought it was going to be a transformative technology many years ago. So he priced it accordingly. Right now, it's an interesting technology that's still got a ways to go before it can justify the price tag that's been hanging on it for so long. The masses are not going to want to supervise the thing.
Today, it should probably be about $1,000 to buy. It's interesting enough for that. Once they start in on providing Level 3, then they can jump to $3,000-$5,000. The monthly price would be priced at break-even after 60 months of subscription.
When they move beyond Level 3, that's when they have to rethink ownership of vehicles because people will run these things as robotaxis. That's a commercial venture. I'd probably go with a subscription for consumers, and some kind of licensing deal with revenue sharing for anyone who wants to run robotaxis. Owning a robotaxi of your own would be more expensive than riding commercial robotaxis all the time, but you'd have the convenience of having one at your instant beck and call all the time, the convenience of leaving stuff in the car, and not having to worry about riding in a messed-up interior.
The various specific features could be sold separately, without subscription, such as Autopark, Summon, etc.
But you have the option not to pay for it in the months you don't want/need it.

For some reason the package you buy is (still) FSD Capability that also comes with FSDS.
I thought they would change it but they kept it the same wording but did add all the other FSDS info except the name. Also kinda odd to tell you get a "free month" when you buy it.
Here it is in the US:
