Would you opt out of m3 for FSD minivan?

[SlicedBr3ad]

So I just read this article and thought about the implication if waymo comes out with their Chrysler minivan that's fully autonomous for about $300/month + $2.2/gallon of fuel used, I will seriously consider cancelling m3 reservation. Keep in mind that waymo is staying fsd will be reliable, safe. For anything that's not covered by Geo fence, I'd use my other family car.

What are your thoughts?

One thing forgot to mention, $300/mo would include no more than 15k miles per year.

They already made a minivan - its called the X

No way the X matches the seating space of my Honda Odyssey.

No, it is everything I have no interest in.. Chrysler, minivan, FSD... Ugh.

Unless the minivan comes filled with Victoria Secret models, then we can talk...

Pretty sure that option is more than $300/month in upkeep. But maybe, like FSD, the option pays for itself?

I believe that's illegal pretty much everywhere...

I don't think many Model 3 buyers are also cross shopping a minivan (I certainly am not).

Also I highly doubt if Waymo were to offer such a car that it'll only cost $300/month.

Nope. Autopilot is the main reason I’m getting a tesla but I still have standards. No SUVs, crossovers, minivans of any brand. No FCA products. No front wheel drive. Plenty more things like that.

 

[Chewy3]

I'm very intrigued by the tech (hence ordering a Tesla), and would probably cross-shop any vehicles with better tech....except minivans.

Did the article state anywhere it would be only $300 a month? $300 a month for a minivan with 15k miles a year is pretty cheap, even without FSD.

You won't be able to take my future 3 from my dead cold hands.

Err, maybe an electric camper van with FSD, and free supercharging

 

[⚡️ELECTROMAN⚡️]

If it's an electric long range minivan I might think about it. But is it?

How's the saying go?

"Not just no but..."

 

[SlicedBr3ad]

Tsk tsk, read the question

Just to clarify my thinking. Info with money is all my guessing and not in article. All article says is that it will be a taxi / shared services.

I'm just thinking that's the price that will get me to think about switching. $300/month + gas money is because I would not pay more than that to share a car with any anyone. At the same time, it would be like isp service, multiple people will oversubscribe and ratio will be many families to one vehicle. This won't matter because there are many vehicles and expecting to have multiple available at any time (although what happens during rush hour comes to mind).

Whoever in whatever offers me lvl 4 + gets my money.

if you need the kind of space that a mini van offers, then that would be the right car for you. if you can live with the much smaller cabin of a M3 then I would stick with the MS.
that said, I don't think the chrysler is capable right now of being fully autonomous.

 

[ElecFan]

If they were capable of FSD the whole internet would be full of videos showing it.

Minivans are no longer needed. American soccer, always on life support, officially died last week.

maybe in your myopic view of the world, soccer is just an outlier sport in the US.
the last time I looked people still procreate and have the need for large vehicles.
