If you buy a Tesla you deserve a Tesla.
Another Musk business model that’ll die… But not before he grifts stupid shareholders…
I do like shorting Tesla, it’s expensive, but it just feels good
You short Tesla stock? Have you ever timed it and made a profit on it? I know there’s been pockets that it could have been profitable to you. But seems to me that you’d just be feeding money to actual shareholders.
I buy very cheap, very long dated puts and am happy to pay the premium
On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”
Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂
How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.
I would think they first would have to actually release the feature.
Anyone who still thinks he’s a genius should be mocked mercilessly.
To be fair, he’s a genius in continuesly scamming people without losing their faith in him. Although it’s less geniusness and more stupidity of other people. Yeah he’s not a genius, he’s a scammer. Not even an artist at it.
So if your subscription runs out while driving does the Tesla just stop on the road or does it immediately drive back to the dealership till you pay it?
It’s only for the “Full Self driving” feature. It would likely just disable the feature.
Kinda a crazy move considering that they were charging 8k for “fsd” before, and are moving to a monthly subscription of a hundred bucks a month.
You would have to own your Tesla for six and a half years for them to make the same return. My guess is that the hundred dollars a month is just the initial price which will drastically inflate over time. That or they are just going to raise prices by 8k and still charge you a subscription cost anyways…
Or you get more people buying in. 8k up front looks a lot different than a couple hundred a month.
I’d rather just pay it once and have it.
Like video games. Just let me pay money for the whole game.
the problem is it’s non-transferrable, so if you want to sell the car (or totaled it) before ~6 years you would lose money compared to paying $100/month.
Wouldn’t the car sell for more because of the extra features?
The feature is tied to the account, not the car 💡
What? Purchasing a premium package for your car vanishes when it transfers to a new owner?
If you buy a premium trim, it doesn’t vanish if you resell the car.
the hardware is there regardless of trim. you are paying for the right to use the hardware already in the car you purchased.
Rational people don’t buy Teslas.
At one point they were charging $15k for it, and Elmo was claiming it would go to $100k in its final form. You know, when it actually fucking worked. Which it never will.
They seem to be dropping the price until they find a price point where a decent percentage of their users will actually pay for the service.
If the system was genuinely self driving, as in the vehicle could run unattended, it would be worth having.
Except for they don’t have the hardware to do that reliably since musk goes for cheapest parts possible and removes redundancy
