You want to win a Tesla or anything else enter a state or national lottery that's properly regulated and is required by law to both publish the odds and give a significant percentage of the ticket value to charity, then if you win just buy the Tesla.

Software should be owned and transferable to your next Tesla. That would significantly increase the take rate.

[@JamesBond-qv2ht]

As a Tesla owner I completely agree with you, but as. TSLA shareholder I am glad it isn’t transferable to a new vehicle.

[@neburNight26]

It’s crazy that software is locked to a platform (Car). Not a person. Imagine if apple did this with iPhones, pay for every app each time you buy a new phone. I have full auto was 7k when I got it, will not pay 12k when/if I get another Tesla in future. 12k is over 10% of most teslas price.

[@RoaringRory80]

Not only do you not own it but if you sell the vehicle back to tesla they will resell the vehicle without FSD and the new buyer has to pay again.

[@thomasnandola794]

@@JamesBond-qv2ht As a shareholder there’s 2 perspectives. First being, if FSD was transferrable the likelihood I stay in the Tesla ecosystem and purchase a Tesla as my next car is much higher. Second being, because it’s not transferable today if I do buy a new tesla, they’ll get an additional 12K from me if I decide to go with FSD. Downside to second perspective being I may not feel as incentivized to buy another Tesla as fast or even again if my FSD is non transferable.

@@thomasnandola794 the flaw in your reasoning is that after you own a Tesla, no other car will do. You’re hooked for life : )

[@AlexReusch]

I think Tesla should make FSD a personal purchase and not bind it to the car itself. Meaning that you could take FSD with you for the next Tesla car you buy. In that way, it would be a long term invest and you would not lose it when changing cars (as long as you stay with Tesla). Right now, you are investing in a beta software that you might never be able to use in your current Tesla car. This is stupid.

[@TechFreak51]

Good Point !!

[@mcbrite]

Right now, it isn't even "might never be able"... It's straight up "WILL never be able". And that's buying the car TODAY and you keeping it at least 5 years... Tesla can't even claim it's "full self drive"-equipped right now. There is no way for them to know that. That doesn't stop them from claiming it, but it's a straight up lie... And if you don't believe me watch Elons speeches as the financial quarter rolls around, where he'll tell you again they'll self drive a year from now and FSD prices will go up (as he has what feels like a dozen times by now). Tesla may make decent cars, but FSD as it's currently sold is a straight up scam.

[@truthseeker1934]

That will reduce their profit, unless it's changed into subscription.

[@PhilTParker]

I always like to buy used. The moment you drive the car off the lot, it decreases in value. If you simply make sure your purchase is of a car with low mileage and still under warranty WITH FSD already purchased, then Bob’s Your Uncle, as the British say. With that said, I do like the idea of having the software attached to one person, who can then jump from car to car.

[@RaistlinMajereFistandantilus]

Of course its stupid, Elon Musk is a con artist, its what he does.

[@charliedoyle7824]

The only reason to pay $12k for FSD now is if you want to donate to the FSD team. It's not an investment any more than buying a Roadster was in 2008. There won't be an FSD robotaxi in a busy city this decade.

No: "you can turn right on red here, but 50 miles further, you can not." etc. Once FSD starts getting fed EU data, i'm sure it will get as good as in US much faster than it was in US.

Michael, I have FSD Beta in the US. It drives on small narrow rural unmarked roads everyday and handles Roundabouts and 4 Way Stops very well. I have traveled all over Europe and do not believe that there are any roads that are more complicated in Europe versus the US. At one time perhaps, but not today. In the State that I live in they are converting almost all 4 Way Stops to Roundabouts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Even ignoring the beta FSD, in countries outside of the USA FSD can be severely limited in its capabilities. Understandably this video focuses on the US market, but if you are in another country your findings will be very different. For example in the UK Tesla offer "Enhanced Autopilot" as an option as the "FSD" in the UK offers very little more.

[@VampireOnline]

They need to bring this back to the US. I want everything included with that.

[@VoxelLoop]

To add to this... Limited features in the UK and EU: - Navigate on Autopilot (Only available on 'motorways' in the UK) - Automatic lane changes (Only available on 'motorways', can't do lane changes on dual carridgeways) - Smart Summon (Can only travel 20 meters total and you must be within Bluetooth range, so basically at the door) - Autosteer (Can only perform up to 0.3g of lateral acceleration, meaning it slams on heavily for even rather mild turns) - Automatic lane changes again (Must indicate 3 times and move within x seconds, otherwise time out and move back to the original lane) - Attention checker, 'wheel nag' (Every 10 seconds, not up to 45 (I think?) in the US) Probably a bunch I'm missing, but those are the main ones that come to mind. :) At the end of the day... The FSD package in Europe offers 'some' automatic lane changes, 'occasional' following route (It struggles a lot on many EU interchanges it seems), and that's about it really.

I recently purchased a Tesla, and included was 3 months of full self driving. So I tried it. And, it works. Occasionally, I have taken over because it can't read a "Detour" sign or it takes too long to change lanes, but overall, it really works. The best thing about it is that it displays on the screen what it is thinking and what it is about to do. You can tell it's going to stop at the stop sign, or that it sees the red light, or that it sees the pedestrian, or that it's going to turn left, you can tell that it sees the oncoming traffic, or whatever else it is thinking. It's pretty remarkable.

Kinda like what Google Glass did in the past. Obviously you'll still get people in with more money than sense, but that's inevitable.

[@macdds]

FSD option is not just 'full self driving capability', other features like Summon, Parking, Navigate on Autopilot, Traffic Light recognition etc are vastly underestimated in my opinion. I use Summon feature all the time to bring the car out of my relatively tight garage, Traffic Light recognition is also my favorite feature as well. As long as you own the car over 5 yrs, considering all the other readily usable features, 12k investment seems no brainer to me. Meanwhile, if you choose subscription plan for FSD, do not expect to use FSD beta every time you re-subscribe it, you need to go through the Safety Check process over again.

[@prairie3668]

Good to know Summon works to pull car out of tight 1 car garage. Will be my main use, anticipated whenever my X gets here..waiting….waiting…..not patiently.

[@richardgoldsmith7278]

There is still value in buying now but not joining beta and wait until the beta is replaced with general release. It was £4000 when I bought it expecting to not get much for many years. The Nav on AP was so useful on my Grand Tour of Europe in 2019, I reckoned I had my value for money already. I planned to hope to benefit from true FSD as I reached the age when I would otherwise have to think about hanging up my car keys, so extending my personal mobility by quite a few years. This will be my last vehicle if it doesn’t get killed in an accident, so FSD was highly desirable as a gamble purchase when I could afford that, but not the long range AWD. I knew I would not ever manage the increased price if I waited until it was a definite done deal, so buying when I did made sense - it was then or never for me. If I had to make that decision now, it would be harder, but I might still opt in now to beat future price rises, knowing that retirement income wouldn’t justify monthly rental.

Unfortunately even if FSD is technically functional in say two years... it could take years before legislation to allow it to be used without constant driver supervision. And after that will insurance companies be willing to cover it? Though Tesla does have a secret weapon there in having its own insurance company in many states by then.

Some AP features are only available on cars with FSD. In particular "Stop light warning", "Stop sign warning", and "Blind spot monitoring". I just went out to my 2021 Model Y to make sure these weren't recently added to my AP-only car. I became aware of AP features that are only available to those who bought FSD a few months after I got my car. It had this great feature of chiming when I was sitting at a red light that turned green. Then after a software update this feature went away. I asked over at the Tesla Motors Club and was told this AP feature was only for cars with FSD. Tesla had mistakenly made it available on some AP-only cars but then fixed this mistake in an update.

It must (unintentially) piss off other drivers and may be the source for some road rage incidents and helps createTesla haters out there.

[@TheSpartan3669]

You have to buy it again

[@bobbystephens2529]

A good insurance company would replace your car to spec…

[@islandsnow]

My prediction we won’t truly see full self driving in our lifetime where you don’t need to pay attention. Otherwise like you said, its more stressful and you have to pay MORE attention now than you driving the car yourself. So for me, a big no for 7K, 10k, 12k for fsd. Even more so not worth it if it doesn’t transfer with the owner. But… tesla can do it because people still buy it

[@martindbp]

"In our lifetime". Not sure how old you are, but let's say that's 50 years. So you're saying in the time frame it took us to go from the first PC release in 1981, or then Nintendo NES (1983), until today, we can not get to L4 autonomy from what you can see FSD doing today? Would you like to bet some money on that?

[@RyanJBuell27]

I predict level 5 autonomy to be possible by year 2030, not 2025 like DirtyTesla suggests might be possible. The depreciation doesn’t justify buying FSD if I will have to wait 8 years

[@cb6879]

We just bought a 2018 model 3 that already has FSD Beta 🙌🏼

[@DirtyTesla]

Sick! Enjoy!

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Fsd should belong to the person not the car. This would lock in brand loyalty. It also removes the motivation for people to scream about wanting retrofits when fsd hardware changes.

[@davidlabelle3904]

🤣😆 Love the introduction!

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

I'm almost certain they are raising the price because they DON'T want people into the program right now and to obviously show it's value. But reality is that if two car companies with basically same seats in it, offers to drive you somewhere, you really won't care much about what car it is, just the price and it is going to quickly be a race to the bottom when common. Like so many other features of cars. Which is great, but it's to say I wouldn't worry too much about the price in the long run. If another car company offers what autopilot does + lane change, then I think it's going to be more than enough for 90% of people for right now.

[@JamesTechJackin]

Great video. Thanks for the info

[@paulp575]

@DirtyTesla - Thanks for an explanation of the various features. I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and see it is progressing, but definitely not ready for level 5. I am confused of when to use the various features. Some are self-explanatory (auto summon, self park), but some are just confusing to me.

[@HamRadioLiveShow]

Great video. Not sure it’s for me because of the cost… but I DO Appreciate the work you did to make this. Thanks.

[@vaibhav3852]

For those who are complaining that tesla fsd doesnt get transferred. Imagine if it was a personal thing and only one profile could use it. And tesla used internal cam to verify using face id.

[@michae1simm]

How good is navigate on autopilot at this point in time? How frequently do you have to take over on highways?

[@DirtyTesla]

It's very good. My commute is 25 miles highway each way and a safety take over is rare. Like weeks or even months apart. Comfort take over (like I just want to pass someone myself, change lanes, etc) but not necessary is more common.

[@michae1simm]

@@DirtyTesla Do you think it's getting so good on highways that Tesla could roll out level 3? Allowing people to not pay attention while it's on the highway, but then requiring humans to regain control once the system exits the highway

[@Shfytwo]

Great explanation and demo of FSD, thank you.

[@rcheng5391]

Does the car still comes with FSD computer if you don't add the $12,000 FSD option?

[@laloajuria4678]

yes, there are no hardware differences.

[@kanedafx1]

I have a CT reservation FSD locked at 7k, 12k? yes if was under my name, no per car.

[@BrianJoslyn]

I'd probably get it, just to have it, if I had the bux. I don't like the thought of monthly payments for something like FSD because, at $12k, you make 61 payments (which is five(ish) years of payments) and you've paid more than $12k. Tesla NEEDS to let people pay the $12k and own it - thus, having the ability to have FSD included on another Tesla when trading/replacing one for another. However, I do like the ability to pay monthly for a month or two or so to have some time to decide whether to pay the $12k or 'lose' the feature.

[@Marco-ce8kr]

AP with auto lane change will be nice

[@jackychet5549]

Do you recommend getting a used Tesla from their website with FSD already installed?

[@DirtyTesla]

Now that is a much better deal! Yes, worth it imo

[@dathyr1]

Well it is May 2023 and FSD now costs 15,000 dollars for a full buy. They do have Subscriptions for 200 dollars a month. I think getting Auto Pilot features is around 6000 dollars (which none of them I need). Still too expensive for me considering the actual costs of the Tesla vehicles. I would never get FSD or Auto Pilot features for where I drive, just around town and I know where I am going. You still have to put your hand on the steering wheel too much to let Tesla vehicle you are alert at all times. Other EV's have cameras for seeing if you are alert which I think are better.

[@infinite-seeker3016]

What if you plan to keep the car for 10 or more years, is it worth it then?

[@FlyWithSergio]

I have M3LR 2019 with FSD. Will Tesla upgrade my hardware to 4.0 if it need it? Thanks!

[@DirtyTesla]

Seems no

[@thelivingmiracle]

Can/should Tesla ban a driver from purchasing a Tesla or a Tesla w/Autopilot if they abuse the system?

[@Deviloc1]

The FSD beta does monitor the driver, and will give them a "strike" if they're not paying attention. Three strikes and you lose access to the beta.

[@CarolBLow]

We are very rural and wondering if you think it's worth applying for Beta? We get A LOT of phantom braking and car getting sun in its eyes and making driver assist unavailable and LOTS of collision warnings on 1 and 2 lane highways and "corrected for your safety" deals when we are right ON THE DRIVEWAY . We'd love to test all the features, but FSD seems more geared toward freeway and urban areas presently.

[@DirtyTesla]

If you already purchased FSD or want to/are subscribing, I would definitely apply for beta. If you don't like it, you can simply turn it off.

[@superset5]

12k isn't worth it because Tesla doesn't have the hardware or software to go "full self-driving". Heck, no one does. You're a damn fool if you spend $12k on vaporware.

[@rhlamkin]

I think some of the things you just described about full self-driving versus autopilot is incorrect. Traditional autopilot with autosteer works on the highway just as you described without having to have FSD. So is Auto Park which by the way doesn't work very well for me. The green light chime chimes even if you're not in autopilot just driving the car. Stopped at a red light and the light turns green, it chimes. The big difference between standard built-in autopilot and FSD is that FSD supposed to work on city streets on city streets where standard autopilot does not. I have had FSD beta in my 2018 Model 3 for a few weeks now and it definitely does not work very well. You constantly have to take over. Definitely not worth $12,000 at this point.

[@BrokerBill]

What a great information packed video. Thank you.

[@frankconte264]

The problem is if he keeps upping the price, no one will get it. Most people I speak to refuse because of the price.

[@yakonyakojennings8056]

My Toyota does this regular auto pilot?

[@sagesoundadvice6612]

Dumb question but can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. New owner with FSD. Wondering how to engage FSD vs Autopilot? From what I’ve read pulling stalk down twice activates FSD but also says pull twice for autopilot..

[@DirtyTesla]

When you own FSD, those terms can be used pretty interchangeably. If you aren't using beta, FSD is really only used on the highway and you can tell it's on by the single blue line in the middle as opposed to the two lane lines next to you being blue.

[@sagesoundadvice6612]

@@DirtyTesla thanks for reply. First time trying today and FSD was working on city streets, thought that was only possible with beta but it was happening. Thanks for your videos!

Do you not have the hand nag on NoA?

[@DirtyTesla]

You do.

[@JoshuaT902]

FSD isn't worth 12 thousand. It's worth it if tied to your account, not the vehicle. Fewer and fewer potential customers will purchase when they keep raising the prices, and full self-driving recordings that help improve it will slow down because fewer users submit data. Also, is it better for tesla's budget, fewer customers at a higher or lower cost but more people buying the option?

[@JoshuaT902]

truly don't understand why it's per vehicle. You buy the software so having it for all your vehicles cost Tesla nothing.

[@Johnbanu]

I'm sorry but I'm confused. I'm waiting for my Model Y any day now. Does Autopilot include auto lane changing? That is, you hit the turn signal and the car changes lanes when clear staying in Autopilot. I had thought that this feature used to be in Enhanced Autopilot but is now only available in FSD. I've heard that if you want to change lanes in Autopilot today you need to manually take over, change lanes and then re-start Autopilot. If that's the case, since it's frankly the only thing that interests me in FSD - I wouldn't be interested in paying $12,000 for it.

[@DirtyTesla]

Autopilot does not include auto lane changes. It only keeps your lane and speed. How you described it is accurate.

[@Johnbanu]

With 1 pedal driving and Tesla slowing you in many of the cases you talked about in the video, do the rear brake lights only come on when the driver presses the brake pedal?

Brake light comes on with regen braking, as well as brake pedal.

[@RockyMountainTesla]

I have FSD package in Canada on our M 3 SR+ and FSD Beta is coming here soon. We got a model Y without FSD package. I also want to experience the whole FSD beta program and it’s honestly why I haven’t sold the 3. Price of FSD is still at $10,600 CAD here, (~$8,427 USD) but will be going up shortly after FSD beta comes to Canada. Here is what I am thinking, if I upgrade the M Y to FSD package before the price change, will I be able to get even more for the M 3 SR+ that has the FSD package after the price increase? Tesla arbitrage opportunity or dumb idea?
