Tesla Cuts FSD Prices to as Low as $4,500 – Owners Who Paid $15,000 Demand a Refund

Yeah, I paid $15K last June for FSD for my Model Y. Yeah, it was expensive. Yeah, I knew what I was doing. Yeah, it was worth it! And yeah, it would be nice to get some sort of recompense for being an early supporter. But no, I don't expect anything, nor am I asking for any. Elon can just consider it a nice 25% tip I left him for THE best car I ever drove--Correction: The best car that ever drove ME! Thanks, Elon!

I think Tesla should refund or credit the difference to his loyal customers.

To have Full Self Driving be a really attractive feature, it should be a one time purchase to the purchasing person. Allowing it to be transferred to another vehicle for life would make it a more attractive option to have continuing loyal Tesla owners for life.

This is for supervised full self driving. Nothing related to people who paid for full self driving. But true FSD purchasers will get refunds when the company has to admit they cannot produce the product, right?

Right?

Prices decrease as technology advances. If your the person who needs the latest and greatest right away this will happen to you alot, lol.

I agree, Elon has lied to all of us that purchased FSD for many years now. FSD has in fact progressed many times over, however with the current hardware it’s impossible to reach level 5. It looks like he’s realized this and is back peddling by offering it a deep discount when originally he stated it would escalate in cost.

Looks fake. Called Tesla not true.
Please share the Tesla link if true

I paid $15000 for FSD was based on Elon's prediction that it will go up otherwise I could have rented it and waited.
I recognize his talent but I hate his way of salesmanship, he is not selling frozen pizzas he is selling car, no cars were ever spld like this with huge amount of price cut, and consumer will lose faith in him.
I say that he should refund $11,500 to people who paid $15,000, at least give the same as a credit for future purchases.
That's for his own good, these refunds amount could be large but cannot compare to lose of his reputation.

I bought my 2021 tesla Rwd SR + custom ordered in January of 2021 and paid 10k . I have seen major improvements and I am a content creator that has reported on my channel about the miraculous breakthroughs that Tesla has made since . I'm never the one that just follows the herd when it comes to debate . I have always been a visionary, and I do trust the software engineers that are continuously developing f. S d software, from day to day, driving the technology forward to a level five autonomy. I will say this if they're happens to be an incentive for those that paid over $5000.
I would gladly appreciate a new set of tires.
On tesla's tab .

Own 2.....2020 paid 5k and 2022 paid 10k...I have been patiently waiting for fsd...happy with the progress....but this implies we're not getting fsd....we like the cars but abhor elons manipulation

refund for we bought earlier.

Next year it will be priced at 1000 dollars...

I don’t see where you reported FSD for sale for $3500.

“What makes Musk’s broken FSD promises even more frustrating is that the people who most likely paid the $15,000 are the ones who believe Elon’s words and his mission.

Others who were more skeptical of Musk held on and can now purchase the same software at a $11,500 discount.”

Honestly simple solution. Let people that paid 10k+ to have FSD for life as a thank you. Puts a positive spin on it.

I bought a 1080p Sony 46” TV in 2007 for $3500. Now I can buy a 50” 4K Sony for $600. I chose to be an early adopter, and I got to enjoy that tv for many years prior to the price dropping. Sometimes you spend more money to be an early adopter. That’s the risk you take. I’m in the same boat with my 2023 MSP purchased in December of 22 before the price cuts.

I'm not a Tesla owner but I do think those individuals who purchased the FSD option do have a legitimate concern. I will be very skeptical if in the future I was interested in purchasing a vehicle from Mr. Musk.
I don't have any other concerns with Tesla or Mr. Musk. I hold Mr. Mysk in high regards.

Ps. His purchase of X (twitter) is a great contribution to Free Speech and Democracy.

Thank you.

TESLA has been promising FSD for years! How long will it take before there’s finally a class action lawsuit against TESLA?

Fan boys were told for years that they were being scammed.

I paid $10,000 and I would love a refund

I bought my model 3 October 2023, & missed the 3 years of free supercharging. I’d take 3 years free supercharging in exchange for paying full price for FSD.

FSD should be sold at a set price for all people. If I didn’t buy the service with the car, then I should be able to buy it at the existing price. Any thing else is not ethical to me.

I was an early adopter and purchased FSD in 2019 on a lease under the promise that FSD would be coming in months and sales people stating there were talks of transferability. I thought of the car as a rolling iPhone and I’d upgrade every couple of years. Well, that promise never was fulfilled in the time I owned the car, neither was the transferability.

Personally, I believe that FSD should be portable, and tied to the driver profile. All modern Teslas have the hardware, this is doable, and to be honest, I think there may be a legal argument for instances where it’s added after to achieve a tax credit as a separate purchase. The only reason to play the games the way they do is greed. And to be honest, while I love the cars, the company is awful, and probably one of the worst at a corporate level. Their price manipulation has screwed thousands of customers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Not just on FSD. I backed out of a Plaid I ordered with a sale price of $148k, that they dropped to $105k within a year, combine that with their price induced depreciation up to 25% in a year, that car was worth $70k in two years. Owners should be pissed. And this is coming from someone who is on their third Tesla, and currently owns two, and plans on buying another. Great hardware and software, but poor customer service and practices.
