I feel sorry for the people who paid $15,000:<p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/21/23315270/tesla-full-self-driving-fsd-feature-price-increase-electric-vehicle-elon-musk" rel="nofollow">https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/21/23315270/tesla-full-self-...</a><p>They should demand their money back.
Not a hater, the M3 is the best car I have ever owned, but based on the fact they cant get the windscreen wipers working properly and auto-pilot keeps braking for no reason, even if they cut it to zero dollars I still wouldnt trust it.
This... Is a good thing? Time goes on, production scales up, and and things get cheaper, no? Shame to see the Elon hate on HN, he has made an exceptional product that is kick-starting the green energy revolution.
It’s the most amazing AI system out there. I got fsd a few months ago and the rate of improvement is astonishing, I go about 100-200 miles between disengagements now and have zero intervention drives to the grocery. It’s much better than a regular Uber or Lyft driver.<p>40k people a year die on American roads and this technology seems like the leading candidate to reduce that dramatically. I highly recommend it.
I wonder what the marginal cost is to Tesla, whether the price is more of a discriminator (let people with less sensitivity spend whatever they want while hitting a lower price point for those on a budget) or if it's more about slowing the roll out of a beta product, like how alcohol is expensive on trains and airplanes just to slow down the rate at which people get drunk.
$5k is the right price for Tesla FSD v12.
If it is able to 'remember/recall' individual American roads from its database rather solely relying on neural nets then that would probably change the dynamics of FSD.
