Anybody buying FSD is a fool, and you know what they say about fools and their money. It blows my mind that some consumers would spend $8K on a feature without doing the 5 minutes of research it would take to determine that FSD isn't here, and won't be here for years.<p>I own a Tesla, and I chose not to buy FSD because in 2019 when I bought it, it simply didn't work based on what I had read. Earlier this year, when Tesla gave a trial to all Tesla owners, I tried it out and was surprised at how good it was, but it still make bad mistakes, one time even curbing the rear wheel while navigating a curve to the right [0], despite it knowing exactly where the curb was.<p>The problem is that you still have to babysit it. And if you have the babysit a self-driving feature, then it's entirely useless. It becomes nothing more than a party trick to show off to friends about how neat it is.<p>Autopilot is great. Love it, especially on road trips. But until FSD is good enough to drive my drunk ass home from a party and even park in my driveway, I'm staying away (and staying sober!).<p>[0] Here's the curb it hit: <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/BLeqSywhXHRyf7a39" rel="nofollow">https://maps.app.goo.gl/BLeqSywhXHRyf7a39</a>. With how wide that lane is, there's no reason it should have cut it so close that it hit the curb. There wasn't even anybody next to me.
