Autopilot as a Service. Why not?To add to that, @verygreen says in the article the code has been in there over a year, no recent changes.
Subscriptions would be pure revenue as they pass any refund period (minus any data/ HW upgrade costs)

I didn't think it made sense for a growth company like Tesla to offer FSD subscriptions
Yeah, I like these sorts of situations. We'll know in just a few weeks if other reservation holders start reporting similar calls from Tesla, or if this report remains an outlier.I highly doubt the first person they would offer a 7 seat interior to would be in Canada. As this is just a person stating this online with no evidence other than “they told me this on the phone” I’m inclined to dismiss it. Add to that, there is no incentive for Tesla to begin delivering the 7 seater in Canada unless they also start shipping the SR+, as the current LR variant will not qualify for the rebate:
- a vehicle with seven seats or greater, where the base model Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is less than $55,000;
- higher priced versions (trims) of these vehicles, up to a maximum Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $60,000, will also be eligible for purchase incentives;
having built a number of SaaS companies throughout my life I strongly disagree. The paradigm of recurring revenue is extremely powerful, similar to that of compounding interest.
If Tesla can figure out how to make money off loot boxes and microtransactions....
@Electric DreamAh that would explain it then. That says something about how confident VW were about getting the software sorted anytime soon.
All those ID3s sitting in fields rotting away...
Reoccurring income is king!
I welcome this. I own fsd on my x as a tip to Tesla for the profits I earned. Prior to that I had wished it was a sub because $7,000 is quite a bit for a Model 3/Y buyer.
Let people get into better cars (putting that $7,000 into AWD or white seats or whatever), and pay when they want fsd.
I know many really love navigate on AP during road trips, but do not really need FSD on their short daily commute. May as well extract those dollars.
There are a number of advantages to a subscription model:
This year, as FSD really becomes feature complete and starts to mature, is probably a good time for a move to a subscription model.
- Recurring income
- Makes it less expensive for Tesla owners to trade up to a new Tesla as they do not have to repurchase FSD
- Makes it less expensive for existing Tesla owners that do not have FSD to upgrade to FSD (and hence more likely)
- Makes it less expensive for people that buy a used Tesla to upgrade to FSD (and hence more likely)
- Allows Tesla to have different service charges. In particular to differentiate use of FSD as part of Tesla Network/Robotaxi
- Simplifies options both for a new purchase and for used Teslas

Especially in the case where the base sale has already been made (the car) every $ earned through subscriptions is pure profit thanks to marginal cost of 0 assuming CAC of 0
Yeah, hope so, but every single ****ing step in this bureaucratic nightmare has to be fought for.... The next Europe Giga should be in some other country (pehaps Netherlands, Poland...), this is ridiculous....
I wonder what it would take for Elon to walk away from Berlin? He's got to be feeling that in too many places where he puts a factory, the local government is trying to keep it from operating.Yeah, hope so, but every single ****ing step in this bureaucratic nightmare has to be fought for....

NO. The conclusion is to switch to renewables ASAP. World can live off them better than fossil fuels.In conclusion, wanna save the world? Keep world closed indefinitely.
You think Texas is gonna throw less bullshit at Tesla than Germany? Is it even legal to buy a Tesla in Texas?I wonder what it would take for Elon to walk away from Berlin? He's got to be feeling that in too many places where he puts a factory, the local government is trying to keep it from operating.
Warm winds blowing,
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever...
I'm going to Texas.
You take those curse words back, you take them back right now. Next thing you'll know, EAGames will be a controlling interest and you'll have to pay extra to get wheels and seats with every car.
I disagree because I think the ready access to all the silicon, software and other technical expertise is a major reason that Tesla is kicking the butts of the big car makers. I would argue they couldn't have picked a better spot to disrupt the ICE industry. Not only that, but new cars roll right off the production line and into the largest EV market in the US. It's even ideal for some reasons that probably weren't even apparent when they chose the location. For example, they couldn't have built the 3rd Model 3 production line in a tent if they were in Detroit!
You are implying Tesla made a poor choice when they picked Fremont. I think they made an unconventional choice based on first principles thinking that was absolutely brilliant. A major reason Tesla has been so successful is they make consistently good decisions every step of the way.
There is no way that in 2010, Tesla would have known about COVID-19 and the current county policy about reopening factories...
At least no way Elon will admit too, if true, that means he also knows what happens next.
