Most families do NOT own a Tesla, not yet.
Even with a Tesla you still have to deal with parking, a big hassle in dense cities.
Your insurance won't be zero because it's still a multi ton death machine you're playing with at high speed.
That's the thing, people have to buy insurance for "liability". The biggest source of liability for most people is the freaking car. You can do a lot less damage with a bicycle.
But enough families can buy a Tesla instead of the ICEv they are currently paying for maintenance, transmissions and fuel cost for etc.
With owning a Tesla you don't have to deal with the hassle of waiting for transportation, you have your own mobile storage, and you make money off TaaS instead feeding profits into it. It is always better to be the pimp than than ho.
Thing is Tesla with FSD is not a Killing machine. At least as compared to other land transport.
You are more likely to get seriously damaged on a bicycle.
