Well many apps are transferable. Imagine having to pay every app you own on your phone/computer everytime you upgrade to a new device?
Netflix, Spotify follows me. I can watch on any device or at a friends' place if they don't have it. Tesla could do something with the phone key so any Tesla you drive gets FSD unlocked while you drive.
Charging huge price for something that doesn't work is quite bold. In many cases, FSD represents more than 10% of the total cost of a new Tesla. It's incredibly expensive. Not being able to transfer in case of a car upgrade or totalled car is close to insulting.
I'm glad I love to drive and hate to be chauffered it is really easy for me to say no to FSD. I know some people actually loves the tech and must have it. Sucks for them as it is not ready yet and how will governments deal with autonomous driving is still pretty unclear.
I would pay for the basic summon though. When the car is trapped in a snow bank, having the ability to move the car out of it without having to actually get inside is a huge plus. I'd pay 500$ for that. Easy money Elon, someone should tell him.

Haven't figured out how to reach my SA, they don't answer the phone....
DCU hasn't told me the rate, but I'm assuming 1.24% for 65 months, based on what is on their website. Hopefully I don't get a surprise...

Just scheduled to pick up my sexy Red/White/19s at Mt Kisco on Nov 7th. Waiting for confirmation on financing from DCU but looking at $50k for 65m at 1.24%
Will be heading straight to Automobilia Auto Salon for a full PPF, Ceramic & Tint. Beyond excited!

Netflix and Spotify are subscriptions. You can do precisely the same thing with Tesla FSD.

They seemed stingy with the loan amount for me as well. They only approved $85k on a $146k car... I've asked for more and waiting to hear back.
Well not exactly. You can't take your subscription to a different vehicle. (You can't have one subscription that you share across your 2, or more, vehicles.

There is no should or shouldn’t be regarding FSD purchasing. There’s the seller of FSD (Tesla) that chooses to sell it the way they do. There is the consumer who can choose to accept those terms, or not. It’s not a business democracy where you get to vote up front.
as someone who had FSD, the strategy to rent it for road trips, is almost a bit..opposite.
Meaning, for most highway driving, 90% of the function I use is free AP functions.
True, NOA is pretty good, but i ended up turning off auto-lane change as it was changing lanes too frequently or times when I'd be in the right lane and fast traffic was merging onto the interstate, it wouldnt move to the empty middle lane enough and instead, either not slow down to let a car merge in or slow down way late after the car merged into my lane. Also, in areas like the mixing bowl area near springfield, Va (somewhat complex area of lanes that change/crossover at a huge cloverleaf type highway intersection), it was jhust not comfortable to let it do its own thing. (Heck, to be fair, mixing bowl during high traffic can be challenging to maneuver for a human).
So for me...FSD for highway trips would be a waste of $200

One thing I have learned in this process is that order date has very little to do with when you will receive your car.

That’s the business model that those companies chose to sell their product. The number of concurrent screens is in the terms of the agreement. I can stream on 4 screens at a time with Netflix, I can’t alter that agreement and stream it on 10.

And to think, people ordering a LR today have a projected wait of 9 months, and it costs $15k more for the privilege.
But you can use a single, one stream, Netflix subscription on an unlimited number of devices. Just not at the same time. You can't do that with the FSD subscription. It is limited to be used on a single named vehicle. And you can only change that named vehicle once a month, since they don't refund partial months. (By stopping the subscription and starting a new one on a different vehicle.)

Exactly. It's based on your configuration. Higher priced configurations are prioritized.

What you say is absolutely true and exactly how Tesla wants their product to be sold. When Netflix gets into the car business, they can choose whatever sales model they like.

I'm only asking for $50k. So I can't speak to them being stingy.
