I would say FSD is worth about 1/2 current MSRP. For example $10K new, so about $5K aftermarket.

For example on the website Only Used Tesla | A Place Exclusively Dedicated To Buying And Selling Used Teslas you can select FSD (Filter Results).
Will the FSD subscription (early 2021) increase or decrease the FSD value in the used car market ? I would like to hear your arguments.
Tesla "Full Self-Driving" Subscriptions Coming Early 2021
I just sold my car today AWD LR with FSD. Paid $5K for EAP and $2K when FSD was on sale. I think I probably got about 1/2 the value back. The good thing with FSD is that most people want it, the bad thing is that people don't want to pay for it.
Depends. Does FSD increase your cost to insure?So basically like a swimming pool in the housing market? Yep, I just finished putting a pool in our new house and know it adds only ~ 50 cents on the dollar to the value of the house.
In my opinion the FSD-value in used-car-market has increased now FSD subscription is an option. This value is more concrete for potential buyers of the car by comparing it with savings on FSD subscription.
Except that with a subscription, you don't have to pay month after month after month. If someone only plans to subscribe a couple months a year and keeps the car for four years, it would cost $1,592 ($199 x 2 months x 4 years) at current prices. In this example, $1,592 is a lot less than the full $10k new retail price which means the resale value of FSD on a used car could also be impacted negatively.
some vendors call this 'feature on demand' and I dont think they have a minimum time limit other than the billing period, which is usually per month. my info might be out of date, though, but the 'FOD' concept is taking hold and I expect it to be a standard concept with all vendors, going forward.The biggest thing weighing down the used vehicle FSD pricing has been Tesla playing silly games with it. Where they add or remove it from a used vehicle their selling to maximize revenue on the sale. Heck they even said "why would we pay more for it when we can add it for free?"
By having a subscription plan means that in the long term its better for Tesla not to add FSD to a used vehicle, and in fact it likely makes sense for them to remove it from used vehicles. My expectation is that even being able to buy FSD will disappear once FSD is actually worth $199 a month.
At some point an FSD vehicle will be as rare as a Tesla with unlimited supercharging (that follows the car).
The $199 a month pricing likely won't stay that way for long.
The ability to buy it for one month, and then not for other month likely won't last long either. At some point they'll say "its being abused", and they'll add minimum lengths of time.
Actually. $4,500 since you have to also pay for the HW3 upgrade.My model 3 doesn't have EAP, only the emergency features, and I would have to pay $3000 up front just to get the privilege of paying each month.
I think I will just drive it myself, not like I really have another option anyway!
