I’ve assumed for some time now that the reason the price of FSD kept rising was to leave a buffer for pricey future retrofits.I don't follow your logic. It was peanuts to upgrade FSD purchasers from HW2.5 to HW3, but it will be prohibitively expensive to upgrade the compute on roughly the same group of vehicles? Unless you're saying tons more people are buying FSD at it's current $15k price.
If they’re selling this thing for $15k and each car needs $3k worth of work they’re covered.
I’ve been in the FSD beta group for almost two years. While the system does some things much better than it used to, it’s no closer to me being able to hand the car off to an inexperienced friend without fear.
Given the glacial rate of progress towards actual usefulness I expect that the fleet will need new computers and high-res radar retrofits to even begin to approach the lofty promises.
