Why would the upgrade from autopilot to FSD go up $1000 in value? Did I miss something??

Elon believes that true FSD is worth a lot more than is currently being charged. This is a step toward equalization.
V10 added a lot of features that make it worth mode than previous versions.

If people will pay, why not?

Lots of people here complain when prices go down... so this is for them!

Why did the eggs I buy at the grocery store go up in price for the same brand / quantity? Did I miss something?

They increased the price $1000 for eggs?

I bought some bathing suits online at Dick’s Sporting Goods yesterday for $9.75 a piece. Today they are selling them for $39.00.

Elon must be running that company too.

Is it unheard of for eggs to go up 16%?

You've Got To Pay To Play! Porsche's charges you $500 for an mp3.

Can anyone confirm that it did actually increase as of November 1? I can no longer see that price & option my account because I bit the bullet and made the purchase on the 30th.
It was a pretty steep price tag at $6,000 but it is a really good feature set. I don't think I would want to pay $7,000 or $8,000 for it though.

I can still add FSD for $6,000 on my 10/15 ordered, but yet to deliver, Model 3.

Confirmed that the price as went up, to add it it's now 9200$CAD. Not seeing a day where I would shell out that much money for FSD.

When there is no competition - you can charge whatever you want. Once competition catches up I would imagine this will come down significantly and eventually become standard.

Which features exactly?! The changelog says something about smart summon and nothing else?
Not even NoA has improved much.
And you had the basic summon which was practical and the smart summon is just "meh" for youtubers to test and not available outside of the US. This is barely worth 1000$ more the 2 times you are going to use it and fail (by the time the car comes you will walk, drive it out and get out)

The reason is simple - cause they can and people hyped it enough. If they see it will affect purchases, they will drop it again, but I doubt it. People belive anything Musk tells them and he is good at hyping and marketing, so why not grab extra 1000$...

You shouldn't expect robot taxis for at least 3-5 years and by that time most model 3 owners would've sold their vehicles or their leases ended.

FSD didn't go up in non Smart Summon countries I believe.

Tesla has been stating for months they're going to keep raising the price- and specifically they'd be doing so by $1000 once Smart Summon was in wide release.

So yes you missed something.

Blah, Blah, complain and say that FSD is not going to come and don't buy it. Hey, and electric cars are never going to go mainstream either.

Many Tesla owners are believers and don't mind supporting technology that isn't here. If that's not you, then just ignore it.
