Regardless of the additional hardware, Tesla will need deliver incremental features beyond the capability of AP1.0 before they can recognize any of the $3K/car revenue for the FSD option.

Quest for 200 miles in a Chevy Bolt cut short by fender bender
Article about how the Bolt was performing in freezing weather (the bane of EVs), until it got rear-ended by an SUV.

The thing with electric cars is that the faster you go, the longer you have to stop to recharge (unless you reach your desination before any recharge
). The slower I-99 corridor can actually be better for Evs. It also has less cross winds compared to I-5.Car and driver drove the Bolt 192 miles at 75 mph. At 65-70 mph, it may make the 212 miles. If you really like the Bolt's spacious interiors and you really must drive the I-5 corridor and really want to drive at I-5 speeds of 80 mph, then you will have to wait a bit till the I-5 charging corridor is ready.

Tesla aren't charging for charging, they're charging for using as parking, the "free for life" model for pre 31/12 cars remains intact
That maybe so, but won't stop you making a deal with someone and then having you buy it on their behalf and immediately transferring ownership.

In most states you'll need to pay sales tax. Then the buyer has to pay it again.

Yes, but the thing with electric cars is that so long as the recharge rate is faster than the depletion rate the shorter your overall time. For example:
I drive the 150 miles between my house and Harris Ranch in my Model S at 62.5 mph and achieve the rated range of 3.3 miles/kwh.
- time used 144 minutes
- kWh used 45
- supercharge time 30 minutes (@90kW)
- total time 174 minutes
I drive the same 150 miles at 75 mph and only get 2.5 miles/kwh
- time used 120 minutes
- kWh used 60
- supercharge time 40 minutes (@90kW)
- total time 160 minutes
I'd rather go faster. It saves on overall time. At least it does when you can utilize a supercharger network.

GM versus Tesla: Pre-Production Comparison for Meeting Model 3 Deliveries At 2017's End - Inside EVs
Good article related to discussions here about model 3 production timelines.

That's why I ALWAYS drive 200kmph between the SuC's in Germany, it's not that I'm reckless, it's sensible!
There is sizable borrowing activity at Fidelity today, around 187k shares were borrowed for shorting since 8:00am:

And it shows in the SP action. Anybody still sceptic about shorts strategy pushing the SP down by dumping large lots of shares on the market in very short time and then slowly cover can see a perfect example (again) today.
I can not find any negative news, opposite actually, and Nasdaq up. This was a planned action to try to push SP below 200.
"
- In the case of the Bolt EV we had sightings and articles describing a test fleet of 55 vehicles a full 1.5 years from production start. In Model S case we had articles written and test vehicles sighted a full 1.75 years prior to production start. Here we are 1 year away from production start for model 3 and how many reported sightings of test fleet have we seen? Close to zero."

My bet is: autonomously driving around and supercharging inside a Tesla owned warehouse somewhere.
Cheaper and can rack up more miles in less time than having meatbags do it on real roads, with the added bonus of not leaking photos or specs to the public before such releases are desired.
Not to mention we have seen a few model 3s on occasion. I really doubt they only made 1 or 2.
Indoors. You can bet on it. Tesla has become extremely disciplined when it comes to information leaks. Way more so than any other company I've followed. (This is a fairly recent change but it was quite evident in the leadup to Model X and to the Model S facelift.) We've seen a couple, and I'll make a wild guess that they were in transit from one indoor test location to another.

Not to mention they can be testing all of the Model 3 components, (other than body panels of course), in a fleet of Model S's. What better way to stress test things than in a heavier vehicle?
