caveat emptor.
For me, I purchased my M3 not expecting full FSD in the timeframe of my ownership, but purchased FSD instead to enjoy the journey, and have also ordered it for my next Tesla.
Unlike many here in this thread, my main frustration is a regulatory one rather than one aimed at Tesla.
IIRC this again is a regulatory requirement currently. The car sees (most of the time!) the correct colour lights (although never shows red + amber at same time), but will always need a confirmation to pass any light
What is this journey you speak of? Donating £5,800 (£6800 now) to a $700m+ market cap company?
What does that even
mean? You could enjoy the journey - which apparently means salivating whist watching FSD beta videos of drivers in a completely different country actually enjoying something that they paid for - without having spent that money. YouTube is free to use.
The more you talk about this the more you appear to be a zealot about this stuff, to be honest.
As I've previously said - you can't just lay all of this at the UNECE's door, as much as Tesla and other fanatics might want you to. You're just giving Tesla an out to take your money and give nothing substantial in return, except dreams, and be happy about that... It's surreal.
Tesla could do a hell of a lot more with the car in Europe, but choose not to, concentrating entirely on the American market. They could have given us a build of FSD beta (ala the new stack) a long time ago, with the self-drive aspects disabled, but haven't. They could have done something with the matrix headlights that have been standard fit since the start of 2021 (or earlier), but haven't. And so on.
Other cars exist which you can buy today that do fully remote summon and parking, and emulate or surpass Autopilot capabilities, or just do it more reliably (i.e. no phantom braking, etc).
You're giving Tesla so much latitude purely on the strength of
other customer experiences in a completely different country.
I didn't pay full price for my car to beg for scraps from the table, and that's what it feels like in terms of FSD functionality improvements over here.
