    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.

    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!

    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.

    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?

    Who is using self-driving mode? And why? When you add price of a self-driving car + (now) subscription, it is cheaper to use some public transport, bus/train/taxi/uber/…

      To be fair, he’s a genius in continuesly scamming people without losing their faith in him. Although it’s less geniusness and more stupidity of other people. Yeah he’s not a genius, he’s a scammer. Not even an artist at it.

    Wasn’t it already? Fucking Tesla is so damn confusing on how the hell this shit works. Every 2 months it changes, price changes, how the use it changes, and if they even get it. God I’m so glad I wouldn’t ever buy one of those shit boxes.

      I was in my friend’s Tesla the other day, and she couldn’t figure out which button to push to get the glove box open. There is no handle. Just a screen with a GUI that has menus with a glove box button.

      I was like wtf. I’m so pissed about my old car with too many buttons for the air conditioner. That was the most infuriating looking car I’ve ever seen. Guess she got it before the Nazi salute for tax write off.

    Then first create the full self driving that you have lied about already existing for the past decade

      Apparently we live in a reality in which you don’t need to have a product in order make it shit anymore.

      And I would think that before releasing the feature they’d have to get it to stop constantly crashibg cars into large stationary objects.

      It’s probably vibe-coded.

      You need to sign up for a 3 year subscription to be put on the waiting list for the product that will be ready in 5 years after you subscribed. If you don’t renew after the first 3 years you lose your spot and need to reapply.
