I thought the Teslarati story on the monthly subscription plan for FSD having said that on the earnings call they alluded to the fact that yes monthly subscription service will be here "sometime next year". I didn't see where it was said that it would be in Q1 of next year.
My biggest hang-up now after thinking about this more is, do I bite the bullet and pay $8K now to avoid the $10K new price next week. I'm not a big fan of the idea that the upgrade follows your car and not your account if down the road I want to get in a new Tesla vehicle. Spending $8K now and getting a higher price whenever in the future I sell the car, I will get the upside bump for having that be part of the car but then if I turn around and get a new Tesla, I'll have to buy again and at that point, it could be closer to $15K to $20K or more.
This is where a monthly subscription plan would make way more sense. Especially if they give us the ability to go month to month and turn it on and off depending on what we plan on doing that month.
Any opinions on any of the above? Still tempted to just bite the bullet at $8K but it would drive me nuts if I drop that now and not get nearly the functionality I'm paying for until sometime next year, and then a subscription plan pops up that DOES follow you with your account.
Thoughts?
