To be clear, yes the proper use of FSD as described by Tesla today is legal everywhere as Tesla tells you to keep your hands on the wheel at all times. But I'd wager that people are not spending this kind of money for the promise of having to keep their hands on the wheel at all times. No, it...

But what $41k dual motor are you referring to? That's just what I'm not getting. My earlier point only questioned whether the single motor would come into fruition.

True. Whether it would be unlawful fraud, that I'd have to read more up on. I imagine that the law would prohibit such a practice on Tesla's part, but I'm not 100% sure.

Regardless of one's political preferences for such a plan, I'm not sure that such a proposal is set to pass Congress. Part of the problem here is that Dems will only control and absolute bare majority in the Senate, and only then because the VP breaks the tie. With at least one member of the...

I would definitely consider it, especially as I would probably be among the only cybertruck owners in Honolulu initially and, thus, could probably command a pretty penny. But I need to do some more research into how the insurance factor works as well as some other things. I won't lie, I'd also...

The $7k I currently have it reserved for is probably the most that I'd pay, especially as FSD subscription service becomes available.

No, but if you can get dual-motor at $41k, I'd wager that you can get single-motor at far less than $40k once all of the same credits (I'm assuming you got to the $41k for dual motor after EV credits are applied at the state level, etc.) are applied.

I suspect that there will be people willing to pay a small premium (especially if you have FSD at the lower price point) in a situation like this, but I wouldn't make such expensive plans based on such a large uncertainty.

And for those who think such is a worthwhile investment/use of their money, I say more power to them. I'm just not convinced that it is worth it for me to spend that extra money when I likely won't be able to utilize the full spectrum of FSD on the road anytime soon. Do you have something to...

Curious, where would you draw the line? Money has always been an enhancer of speech. If only the mere act of speaking is to be protected, government would be free to shut down a whole lot of mechanisms that we use to get our points across and to petition our government, to include banning...

While I could have, perhaps, been clearer, I thought it was clear enough that I was referring to the actual utilization of FSD (i.e. autonomous driving) as opposed to merely owning the technology. This is why I wrote "road legal" and not just "legal." Indeed, if FSD wasn't legal, Tesla...

Regarding the bolded portion of Electrek article, Tesla getting the loophole to begin with (via lobbying, lawsuits and threats of lawsuits agaisnt the state) was the result of money in politics. I don't have a problem with money in politics and it is constitutionally protected as an enhancer of...

OP, like you, I'm seriously considering not getting FSD. I'm just having a hard time with paying so much for a feature that likely won't be road legal nation-wide (and, even if it is road legal, I'm concerned with how it will react to reckless drivers in a time where the overwhelming majority...

I'm curious to know if the single motor will actually ever get to production. Or if it'll go the way of the $35,000 base Model 3. Note, while range did factor into my decision to pre-order the dual vs single motor (though when I think about it, Tesla always seems to be increasing its range...

That's another thing. Will this truck have regular over the air updates like Teslas have? And I still remain skeptical of any Even outside of all of that, I always come back to fast charging infrastructure. Until there is a solid non-Tesla fast charging infrastructure around the country, I...

Tesla also has to be careful to not make this feature one only for the well off. That said, with the planned $25,000 vehicle, FSD for $10,000 doesn't put such a car too much out of range for many.

Even if I was undecided about which EV pickup to get, I could never get behind that price.

Agreed. But if it really works as intended, it'll be money well spent and make the driving experience so much better and safer. While I had planned to cancel the FSD (and still am not 100% sold on going through with the purchase in general, though I'm not leaning more toward buying since many...

It's a mixed bag. Some states have passed legislation explicitly authorizing autonomous driving; thus, autonomous driving is legal in those states. Other states have only created committees to study and it you still need to have someone driving the vehicle for driving to be legal. Here's an...

Good news! I am still skeptical of a nationwide adoption; I think we are likely to see a city by city approach in the interim for a few cities, but very skeptical of a nationwide adoption. That said, I hope I'm wrong. And even if I'm not wrong, I'm seriously rethinking canceling the FSD option...
