- jeffbee 6y agoNevermind the pump and dump, which has been right out in the open for years. What about selling people a $10000 option that doesn't work?
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoI don't think of it that way. It's investing $10,000 in a feature that is currently under development and will go up in price as it improves. It also includes any hardware upgrades that are necessary to keep up with FSD requirements. Tesla fans know that FSD isn't ready. They know that the $10,000 upgrade doesn't actually grant FSD, but the purchase of it indicates that they believe it will in the future. You can call it a $10,000 gamble if you wish, and you can express your belief that it will never happen, but to say "it's a $10,000 option that doesn't work" is only a half-truth, IMO.
