The fact that I can still purchase "Full self driving" in a few taps for 10,000$ is especially insane considering it probably won't be out in Australia for many years.

I'd happily get Enhanced Autopilot if it was a subscription, but at 5000$ it's a joke.

There is a subscription too

about time, I remember "it would be financially insane to buy anything other than a tesla" and "your tesla will make you 30k per year while you dont use it" and I idolized musk in those days so I ate it up... thankfully I ended up buying a different car in the end.

>and I idolized musk in those days so I ate it up...

may I ask why?

it's a genuine question.

he proved himself as a certain kind of dot-com bro back in original-X days, his behavior seemingly stayed consistent with his history.

what changed? the miss-steps with Tesla? lying about future capability? the celebrity romances? the goofy attention-seeking child names? the drug stuff? the employee abuse? the local government black-mail and manipulation via geography threats? the 'founder' title within the companies he bought after encountering far later? the apartheid comments? the emerald thief dad who disaagrees with everyone else accounts' of Elon's upbringing?

the guys' a crook -- but he's a crook at face value, just follow him throughout any of his history or his past to realize that.

Why the surprise?

I do feel bad for early adopters swept up by the hype. There needs to be better anti-grifting laws at the level at which elon operates.
