Whilst I believe the UK's regulations are behind what Tesla is allowed to offer in the US, I believe FSD will get much more feature rich eventually. Given I plan to keep my MY for ~10 years and my belief in its eventual features, purchasing it *may* make sense. However, I also want to be cost conscience given it's clearly not cheap - hopefully the answers to my questions will help me decide:
- If I purchase it after delivery of the vehicle, does this have any impact on insurance? I assume if I purchase it with the vehicle, and the insurance needs to replace the vehicle, this will also include the software originally purchased? For any software added afterwards, do insurers allow it to be included (at a cost I assume)?
- Similar to the above - if it's purchased with the vehicle, and the price of FSD increases, does that automatically affect what's paid to the insurer monthly? I assume they honour the original replacement if required even if FSD costs increase - I'm just cautious about monthly insurance costs rising as FSD does...
- Given the UK isn't Tesla’s primary market for FSD, how much warning do they tend to give before any price increases if any? I've seen warning for the US, but not sure on UK...
