DO NOT BUY FSD - TESLA MODEL 3

EV Channels Review

The reviewer strongly advises against purchasing Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) package at its current $10,000 price point in 2021. While acknowledging the impressive engineering and the future potential of FSD, the core argument is that the current feature set offers limited value for the steep cost. Key features like Navigate on Autopilot and Auto Lane Change are highlighted as useful, especially for highway driving, but other functions like Auto Park and Summon are deemed more of a 'party trick' than essential daily tools. A major point of contention is FSD's non-transferability between vehicles, forcing owners to repurchase the package for new cars. The reviewer also champions the FSD subscription service for its flexibility, allowing users to pay only when needed, which is particularly beneficial for lessees or those who don't require FSD year-round. The possibility of a future, more affordable 'Enhanced Autopilot' tier and the anticipation of FSD Beta V10 with city street driving capabilities are also mentioned as reasons to delay a purchase. Ultimately, the consensus is that the subscription service or waiting for a more feature-complete system offers better value than the current upfront purchase.
