      Well you know, you gotta phase these things out before sweeping them under the rug.

      If you cut it off cold turkey everyone will be like “I did Natzi that one coming”.

        You short Tesla stock? Have you ever timed it and made a profit on it? I know there’s been pockets that it could have been profitable to you. But seems to me that you’d just be feeding money to actual shareholders.

    On Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call in October, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said that “the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”

    Gonna be lower soon. LoL 😂

    How is this fool a billionaire? Oh, yeah. Peter Thiel using him as a distraction.

    I feel so dumb over here having paid off my current car and giving no subscription money to anyone to use all the features of my car. I’m a fool!

    So if your subscription runs out while driving does the Tesla just stop on the road or does it immediately drive back to the dealership till you pay it?

    Good maybe people will stop using it then. What am I saying they bought a Tesla of course they’re going to keep using it.

    It’s a weird move because Tesla was receiving nearly 7 years of $99/month up front if people gave it to them, while being as slow as they want in reaching their promises. So, either they are worried that they will be forced to give refunds for underwhelming service, or they are planning massive monthly fee increases. It’s probably the latter to their credit. Robotaxi fee would be a normal high fee.
