With Supervised FSD, there's no need to touch the steering wheel. Only with Autosteer Beta do you need to keep a hand on the steering wheel, and that's free.
It's also either lifetime or a monthly fee which you can cancel anytime. For my Model S it's $11K Canadian for lifetime or $100CAD/mo for monthly which means it'd take me over 8 years to break even between the two.
I like Supervised FSD but I wouldn't pay for lifetime and I only really use it when I'm doing long road trips. It's awesome for that but I don't rely on it for daily driving. I do think it drives better than 95% of drivers out there which is impressive.
$100 a month? That's fucked
Its worth is highly subjective. I used it for 2 months as I had 2 long road trips and it was definitely worth it for me as it makes the long drive so much easier. With FSD, it's still much cheaper than driving an ICE and there are way more benefits. To each his own though. Not everyone can afford a Model S.
EVs being better than ICE is no defense of Tesla’s bullshit.
Honestly sounds like you have buyers remorse. Most modern cars in tha last 8 years or so come with some level of assisted driving but it's not really part of the marketing, it's just expected to be included.
I would also regret buying a new car that locked away built-in technology behind a pay wall.
I don't have buyers remorse at all. I love my car. I just find the Supervised Full Self Driving to be expensive for daily use. It's awesome for road trips so I'll gladly pay for the months I have road trips planned.
It's the Brussels effect, it's been mandatory in the EU for a while now.
I don't get what FSD adds to the highway experience though, a Kia can drive hundreds of kilometers on a highway with basically no input as well.
Yeah, it's standard and 'FSD' us ironically below standard.
