FSD is $199/mth now, but it likely will go to $99/mth before the free trial ends at the end of April. At the same time, the FSD purchase price may be lowered to $6K (including several tiers to benefit grandfathered FSD owners ie: transferability). Take-rate could go to 25% in Q2. That's real cabbage, real soon.
Don't doubt Elon's commitment to an FSD future for Tesla. Around the time of autonomy investor day (April 2019), Adam Jonas from Morgan Stanley asked Elon a question during the Q&A session. AJ asked 'what proportion of Tesla's capital investment was to support full self-driving'? Elon replied 100%. Translation: everything that Tesla has done to this point has led up to FSD.
Look at your Gant chart. FSD may take the longest to be fully finished so it needs to be started first. Elon started with the FSD computer hdw project in October 2016. That's how far ahead he thinks. That's how committed he is to making FSD a reality. Meanwhile automotive, insurance, energy, and even robotics and AI will keep the store open while FSD is in the kitchen.
What will emerge at the end of this process is gargantuan, a true juggernaut. It's only a matter of time, the end result is clear.
