I have always wondered how adult, educated people could ever buy something like fsd packages where the hardware(the cheap part all things considered) is provided first and the software comes later, "pending regulatory approval", especially seeing as how that would apply globally.
It is like buying a laptop with nothing but the casing and the screen and AMD yet has to develop a chip, windows,Linux or iOS not developed yet.
Ok, the car is usable without it and it's indirect funding of the feature, but still.

That said, this Tesla thing isn't a pre-order exactly, because they explicitly promised FSD capabilites, so it should at least save on a trip to the shop to install something later. Unfortunately, it wasn't FSD, but just some basic stuff, so if you want more you've got to go in and pay anyway. The key here is "full self-driving" = FSD, which can only be interpreted to mean that the car can in fact drive itself (safely).
