Mhm. That full self-driving system that's argueably not full self driving? And not allowed to do what it advertises to do in most parts of the world? 🙄

This seems like DLC, but for cars.
When I thought of a dystopian future, this was not what I had in mind. 🙄

Just wait until the air you breathe becomes a DLC.
Anyway, it was totally expected, as those fancy programmers that are working on this need to be paid well, or they walk ...

Wait, why would anyone pay for this at this point? Other manufacturers have free systems that are safer than this. It feels almost like an attempt to juice more the whales, since everyone with a brain would not buy this. It's also on the limit of being a scam, there are people who bought Teslas almost ten years ago, who paid for "self-driving".

But Knight Rider didn't have paid DLC. 🙁

That's one DLC I'd actually pay for tbh.
Horus-Anhur
Yeah, me too.
But KIT had Turbo Boost, silent mode, could speak fluent and intelligently, was bullet proof, had flame throwers, tear gas and flares. It had surveillance mode, ejection seats, electronic jamming system, lasers. And more.

And he was genuinely nice to people too. I'm fairly sure a Tesla isn't.

Tesla will sue you, if they don't like what you say about their cars.
Or at least, they´ll try to.

If you spend 20$ every day on cab drives, it'll take 2 full years to spend 15000$, and you don't even need to buy a car in the first place.

I don't think that a cross-country trip costs only $20 with a cab...

When you see that most people on the road just can't full self driving... lol.

15000 liberty coins to unlock what the hardware people bought can really do. Ya, get f*cked if you bought one of those toys.
Other brands will come in and offer it standard with their package.
Personally, I'd rather buy a cheaper version of the car without all those unreliable gadgets and drive it myself.

Musk is beyond comprehension his insane ideas become things. Like building a tesla tunnel under Vegas instead of something logical like a metro. It's just amazing how good he is at selling stuff.

If it costs 15,000 bucks, I'd expect it to be a better driver than I am. I'm probably a below average driver, I will admit that, but I've still survived Finnish winters with icy roads and snow storms, plus my fair share of forest paths (too shoddy to be called a road) with even tree stumps left in the middle of them for decoration.

Not convinced the hardware is there yet for full self driving - you'd need a bunch of lidar systems and powerful custom processor. While tesla has some camera's (not lidar) and decent processing power I am doubtful anything made today will have anything like what is required when self driving becomes a thing.

Yup, a slow metro that requires a car for every person and backs up on busy days just like a traffic jam.
The worst of car and train massed together and yet others are thinking of doing the same!!!
It just goes to show that reason and logic has nothing to do with the emotional hysteria, manic religion that is the green revolution.
Need to save the world but running massive computations to do nothing (bitcoin) is a great idea.
The US will now pay you (if you are lower income) to replace all your appliances.....save a few dollars a year on electricity and fill the landfills with perfectly good appliances.....yeah that will save the world from pollution.
The list is infinite.
I will buy the last internal combustion car made and hold on to until I die.
BECAUSE DESPITE THEIR MANIC WISH OF OUTLAWING ICE BY 2030....it will be many decades....longer than i will live before it is actually feasible to accomplish.
wavetrex
You'll give up your beloved ICE car very quickly when prices for gas to travel 10 miles are more than you earn in an entire month.
