I recently bought a Tesla Model 3 and I was just wondering is the $10,000 fee for the full self-driving capability worth it? Im in Canada and I'm curious to whether I should purchase this option or not... let me know what you think!

I don't think it's worth it. Actual full self driving is not coming any time soon. We'll continue to see improvements to Autopilot, however FSD is not going to happen any time soon despite what we hear/read on a daily basis.I recently bought a Tesla Model 3 and I was just wondering is the $10,000 fee for the full self-driving capability worth it?

Cost is a big consideration for many. It was for me.
I think another big consideration is how long a person plans to own the car. Another consideration for me was the driver’s age.
if I had planned to own the car for two or three years, I would not have considered it. I plan to keep the car for a minimum of 10 years, hopefully 15-20 years.
I am on my 60s. I have seen people’s driving skills deteriorate in their 70s. (I’ve also seen people in their 50s and 40s who demonstrate terrible driving skills, but that is a whole different topic.). Even if FSD (autonomous driving level 4 or 5) doesn’t happen for the current TM3 cars, I am confident that additional FSD-capability enhancements will serve to assist if my driving abilities deteriorate.
Considering these factors, paying for FSD-capability made sense for me and I bought it in 2019.
Don’t mean to be negative, on my 2nd Tesla and had one of the first Nissan Leafs...
But 15-20 yrs out of a current Tesla, in Canada?
I am rooting for you but I doubt it. The build quality just isn’t there for the abuse our cars take here with salt and crappy roads.
Lets hope!
we have a 2014 AP1 model S with over 230,000 miles on it. Still the original battery. I have no doubt at all that the cybertruck that I've got an order will last me 15 to 20 years. I'm pretty sure most current Tesla cars can be expected to last that long. you might need a battery, might not, but I think you'll still be driving it if you want. Or rather, it will be driving you if you want!
