BeepTesla Switches Full Self-Driving to Subscription Only
JoeI think this could be legally interesting (I’m no expert), because with the different kind of contract the lessor’s duties change.
mannycalaveraLOL who are these idiots buying their crappy cars? You only have yourselves to blame. Elon is just playing you like a fiddle.

Fiddles? More like grains of sand on the beach…
Err… is… is the expression “playing you like grains of sand on the beach”?
😅🤣😂
I don’t think you understand how idioms work
UlrichI have Autopilot on mine (2020). I’ve asked them at the shop to remove it and reinstall basic cruise control and they refused, and I’m jealous. Autopilot suuuucks. I went on a 1200 mile road trip through North Texas. The whole time the car thought the speed limit was 55 when it was actually 75, and it refused to go any faster, so I had to drive for hours with no cruise control. It sucked.
There is a setting in the menu where you can deactivate autopilot and instead have a normal cruise control function.
Yeah can use standard ACC but it still won’t go over the speed limit. There’s no “normal” cruise control.
Maybe we are running different software versions then because on my Model 3 I have it set to cruise control instead of FSD and it definitely lets me go above the speed limit. I have it set to default to speed limit when activated but with the right thumb wheel I can adjust set speed up or down. I’ve included a screenshot of my settings in case it’s helpful to anyone.
Wispy2891Once again “traffic aware cruise control” is still not the same thing as normal cruise control. I’ve had this car for 5 years, I know how to use it. It speeds up and slows down randomly and refuses to go above the speed limit at seemingly random times. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t, with no clear rhyme or reason.
100 million Americans are screaming Elon/Tesla is a business to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans are screaming that EVs are a vehicle type to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans do not scream, do not post, and do not have any higher opinion about the cars beyond being cool, cheap to fuel, or quiet.
Well that should cut down on the deaths and the lawsuits from those deaths at least.
Tesla is already a failing company. This will only accelerate their decline.
I wanted a Tesla, until about seven or eight years ago when they switched off features after some dude bought his Tesla used, because only the original owner had paid for the features.
I knew this is what it would turn into. Fuck Tesla, and fuck Musk.
The only cases I’ve heard that fit this, is some of the old model S where “free supercharging” got removed from vehicles that were resold through Tesla.
Do you have a link to cases where functionality actually got removed from vehicles sold privately directly? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, I just haven’t heard of any.

Tesla Remotely Removes Autopilot Features From Customer's Used Tesla Without Any Notice [Updated] - Jalopnik
One of the less-considered side effects of car features moving from hardware to software is that important features and abilities of a car can now be removed without any actual contact with a given car. Where once de-contenting involved at least a screwdriver (or, if you were in a hurry, a hammer), now thousands of dollars of options can vanish with the click of a mouse somewhere. And that’s exactly what happened to one Tesla owner, and, it seems many others.
Yeah they probably could, like all manufactures can these days, but I haven’t heard of it actually happening outside of them going back in to Tesla to be resold. Directly from person to person they retain features and even free supercharge access.
AnUnusualRelicBut… I thought Tesla didn’t have full self driving.
It’s what they call their lane-assist/cruise control.
They were supposed to stop using the term but the article might not be caught up.
I’ve used and and it seems like full self driving. Maybe that’s why it keeps killing people.
Destination to destination? Stop signs, residential corners, merges, and blind mountain corners? In fog and road spray?
I bought my model 3 with fsd in 2019, back when the only thing Elon talked about publicly was the push to increase ev adoption. Always hated the guy, but loved the car. Again this was before he came out as a full blown Nazi.
Not defending him, I think he’s a moron who hired really smart engineers to build a great car. I think his drug addiction and Nazism and stupid decisions have ruined the company, and fuck it I don’t even care about it anymore. Fuck Nazi Elon.
That out of the way, yes. Destination to destination, day or night, rain or shine, stop signs, lights, roundabouts, u turns, merges, overtaking, bridges, tunnels, pedestrians jaywalking, handles it all.
It’s not perfect, while it slows down in school zones, it doesn’t actually read the posted speed sign and goes faster than it should, it does weird decisions and jerky moves at very low speed in parking lots, of the address you entered is not a coordinate of the parking lot, it will pull over and disengage on the road in front of the building regardless of whether that’s allowed there. It does still make some mistakes occasionally, so I never trust it to actually not pay attention, but it drives me everywhere.
If they want a subscription based car. Then at the very least I want to “rent” a car under that subscription, and not just one car. Whatever car I choose and for how ever long I want.
Oh that will never happen? Cool I’ll keep my 20+ year old car with no data gathering.
That’s called car sharing, and exists in a lot of places.
Full Self Fraud
You don’t own a tesla.
That’s what you get for buying a Nazi car dipshits enjoy
Mwa
Eh-IWould this not be grounds for a massive class action lawsuit? FSD was marketed as a feature when the cars were sold.
clubbThe cars that were sold with the one-time payment get to keep it forever, but if you were to buy a new Tesla now, you would need to pay monthly.
But please don’t buy a Tesla.
PyrAlthough I wouldn’t be surprised if you sold your grandfathered Tesla that it cancels the lifetime FSD and therefore brings your resale down despite probably paying more upfront
