I 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.

The people who went to business school and make sure everything is priced as high as possible.

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.

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.

They rolled this update out mid-journey, and I had to scramble to swap seats with the manequin driver. Not cool, Elon.
Not. Cool.

Tesla is already a failing company. This will only accelerate their decline.

Tesla: if you persuade at least 10 million idiots to subscribe for fsd (and reach a lot of other impossible targets) we will give you one trillion dollars

Very much on purpose. Might’ve a long time ago if I didn’t mind losing physical buttons. Before the nazi tires were revealed, now the vehicles themselves don’t matter at all. I’ll never buy one.

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.

But… I thought Tesla didn’t have full self driving.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
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.
maplesaga@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’ve used and and it seems like full self driving. Maybe that’s why it keeps killing people.
Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
I think this could be legally interesting (I’m no expert), because with the different kind of contract the lessor’s duties change.

Getting run over by a FSD Tesla is still free.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Evil company does evil shit. Then again roads will be safer if fewer people have access to it and more annoyed drivers could potentially be a good advertisement for public transport. It‘s not all bad.

Well that should cut down on the deaths and the lawsuits from those deaths at least.
Furbag@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Would this not be grounds for a massive class action lawsuit? FSD was marketed as a feature when the cars were sold.
clubb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
The 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.
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Although 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

Fuck Tesla and any/every other automaker for switching to subscription-based anything for features. As if the fuckstick hasn’t already raped people on price enough as it is. The board is completely lost and a bunch of idiots to keep fumbling over Lord Elon’s decisions.
