While I am still waiting for my Tesla Model 3 SR, I browse the Tesla forums and find it amusing (or maybe just sad) that Tesla is charging $5000+ for Full Self Driving (FSD). Owners are paying for the future possibility that the car will be "conducting trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat" [per Tesla Model 3 ordering page].
I think some Tesla owners are even expecting that their car will go self work for Uber over night, generating the user income. Other customers seem to be paying the fee, yet they are just leasing their car. Will these leasees ever see any significant FSD features?
This article gets it right that self-driving is way, way off. It will be interesting to see what and when Telsa delivers to its customers who prepaid for FSD. I think Tesla already settled a lawsuit with some owners over self-driving fees and associated delays.
