I think a lot more people will jump at the subscription option if it's reasonably priced.
I think there will be a lot of disagreement over the "reasonably priced" part. I'm expecting $200-300/month. Possibly with a 12-month commitment.

So what's the deal? Why do you think they don't offer the transfer?

how much would you think that would cost each month, $150.00-$200.00 or more, not sure people would pay that much, on top of a car payment too. I'm not sure there are more Tesla's than computers for that market.I have a ton of experience in the software industry, and I'm part owner of a company that sells licensed software to end users. In my experience, the market loves the SaaS model that is priced off usage and commitment. It significantly lowers the barrier of entry and expands your potential market. A lot of people will see the 8-10k price tag and just immediately say no thanks. I think a lot more people will jump at the subscription option if it's reasonably priced.
Yes and no. I very much disagree with this being made a subscription. By design subscription services are never a good financial choice for the customer (same with leasing).
I honestly have no idea what they will charge. But more than 150-200 is too much imo. 100-150 I think would be doable.how much would you think that would cost each month, $150.00-$200.00 or more, not sure people would pay that much, on top of a car payment too.

I think so also, Tesla going to make it better just to buy it, $3600.00 year, that's is just as bad as leasing a car.I don't think the monthly will be less than $300 and maybe more. *sigh*
I dont think I will live long enough to see any sort of robo taxi with level 5 self driving anywhere around me, and I am 53 and hope to be alive at least another 20-25 years.
one thing to remember is that FSD raises the resale value of your car (at least per Elon), so you might get some of it back. .
It's known as a perpetual license model and it's the way the majority of retail software has been licensed for decades. If you went to Best Buy a decade ago and grabbed a retail copy of Office 2010, you were buying an expensive perpetual license that could be transferred an unlimited number of times. Microsoft had no hook in making money on the transfer because you just paid the maximum price for a retail copy.
I am in the same situation. I have a PM3 from Sept 2018, but I am not going to pay 8k to add to a car I may only have for maybe 2-3 more years. I will keep this car until I have enough money to buy it on the next one, however long that takes. To me that is a lose-lose situation for all. I lose, and Tesla loses potential revenue for each person in this same situation.
Agree with you.I'm guessing there will be a minimum term for any monthly plan that gets rolled out. 6-month minimum term or something like that. I don't see them allowing such flexibility of using it a month here or there and dumping for all other months. They want predictable monthly recurring revenue, not totally spotty unpredictable revenue that is not predictable.
It might be like other software subscriptions. There would be a price per month and then a discount for buying 6 months, 1 year, etc. Either way, it is better for Tesla's operation budgets to have subscriptions versus one time purchases.I'm guessing there will be a minimum term for any monthly plan that gets rolled out. 6-month minimum term or something like that.

$200 a month would be much better than $10,000 for those of us that swap every ~3 years or so. There is (has not been anyway) any real value to re-sale or trade-in or heaven forbid an accident. $200-$300 a month would be quite compelling for some of us.
think like $300.00 month or more for FSD, best to buy it$200 monthly as an annuity is in the ballpark of $50k, I'd rather buy another car than pay that much for FSD.
