So you're worried about the hard disk space in your car ? Can you even access that as an end-user?
No, he's saying that's all the components are included to use this feature adding weight to the car and affecting your fuel (or in this case battery) milage, but you can't use them without paying.
What components are adding weight? AFAIK the components used by FSD are already in use by other features.
I'm not specifically talking about FSD, and if that is the case, then cool.
But when it's shit like heated seats, then that's bullshit. If you ever need to replace your seats, they will make you pay for the expensive model - with that disabled feature.
Anyway. Regardless, I'll never buy a car with disabled features unless I pay a subscription.
But I am.
I agree, as I said here
Got it.
Do you know what an analogy is?
Sure, but your analogy doesn't make any sense. There is no downside to you because of this feature being in your car in a disabled state.
It’s not my analogy, but it does make sense if you even remotely think about it. The downside is that my car carries extra weight in the form of this additional hardware. Teslas are heavy enough as-is with their giant batteries, I’d rather remove any and all unnecessary weight for the sake of my tire tread life (and battery life). Also depending on exactly what the hardware is, it can be an additional point of failure that could potentially cause things that I do have access to to break. Lastly, it’s fair to assume that the price of the car would be cheaper if Tesla didn’t have to install this hardware into every car even if it will never be used, so you are likely already paying for this in “hidden” costs that are just rolled into the total price of the car before even paying to enable the features.
No it doesn't. As far as I know FSD doesn't require additional hardware. It uses the hardware already in the car for other purposes (like lane assist, emergency braking, etc).
FSD isn’t the only feature locked behind a paywall.
They lock up everything from heated seats to acceleration speed.
That was my analogy, not of the person you replied for.
Disabled features also add complexity to your car, which may or may not affect how much you pay for repairs.
