People who buy FSD commonly make two assumptions:
When we bought our first FSD package there was no such designation as supervised vs unsupervised. I believe they added that distinction because the MSM folks (and some elected officials) were unable to read the instructions (or just didn’t choose to). Just as Tesla has continued to upgrade hardware for FSD purchasers I am certain that supervised will transition to unsupervised without a new license being required.
From what I see unsupervised is inevitable as part of the sub and sold as such. They'd have a huge class action lawsuit for existing purchases. Moving forward you may be right. I wouldn't chance waiting until after the 14th myself.
Early adopters have been taken care of however I don't know how far you could go back before you're trying to do CGI on a calculator.
Tesla has always upgraded hardware for FSD owners in the past, but I suppose that is no guarantee they will in the future. My take on this is that they don’t want to keep adding to the list of owners they will have to upgrade for free so they are stopping the sale now, but I do believe they would be slapped with a class action suit if they tried to abandon owners (and I would join the suit). We bought FSD (3 times) with the promise of eventual unsupervised autonomous driving and that is what we expect. Everything up to that is beta as far as I am concerned.
I understand the frustration. But the difference is now, there are literally AI4 Model Ys driving around autonomously in Austin TX, taking passengers for a ride.Tesla has been selling Full Self Driving for a decade. During that time Elon has promised it will do a bunch of stuff and make the care significantly more valuable.
Myself and others have paid for that dream, which has been delayed many times, but I HIGHLY doubt Tesla and Elon will rug-pull at this point and say "yea FSDU is finally here, sorry it is 8 years late and you have to buy something completely new"
Given the training data that built FSD was done by people paying for FSD and the FSD dream being sold all along the way. My money (literally) is in FSDU being an update that comes through, subscription price may go up but the FSD on your Foundation will be FSDU
Yea, but there have been big jumps along the way. I remember when Autopark first came out, traffic lights not requiring a pedal press to go, autosteer on city streets.
Fundamentally, this isn't different than what the Model Y/Robotaxis are literally doing today.
Agreed. FSD as it exists now is 98% of the way to unsupervised in my opinion. I'm just a babysitter to a pretty mature kid that needs a little watching not to get into trouble.Tesla has been selling Full Self Driving for a decade.
