Some FSD-related options/features I think would be cool if @Tesla offered:
1) Annual FSD subscription: starting at $999/year (price goes up in future as FSD gets better).
2) Short term pass for rental fleets/Turo: When an individual rents a Tesla, they may not want to pay $99 for a full month FSD subscription, especially if they are just renting for a weekend. Tesla could offer short-term FSD passes that last a few days, with the option to extend if needed. Just make sure first time FSD users take a quick tutorial.
3) FSD family plan: If a family/household already owns a Tesla with FSD and purchases a second Tesla, offer FSD on the additional vehicle at a slightly discounted monthly rate.
4) FSD Leaderboards: Tesla has already started gamifying FSD a bit by showing owners their total FSD miles and usage percentage. Take it a step further with global and/or regional leaderboards that rank drivers by total FSD miles. There are definitely people out there who would love the bragging rights of being among the top global FSD users. I'm sure this would result in Tesla getting even more FSD data quicker.
5) FSD subscription for HW3 Tesla owners for $69/month: These owners helped fund and train FSD, yet they currently can’t access the latest and most capable version of the software, but they pay the same price as someone who can. It’s unclear how V14 Lite will compare to the full V14 experience, but until HW3 owners are able to upgrade to AI4, I think offering them a discount on the monthly FSD subscription seems reasonable.

🇺🇸 FLYING TAXIS JUST GAVE THEIR FIRST PUBLIC DEMO IN THE U.S
It's no longer sci-fi; they’re real, and they just made their first public flights in the U.S.
It happened at the California International Airshow, where Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation demoed their electric vertical takeoff aircraft (eVTOLs) in front of a live crowd.
Each vehicle flew for about 10 minutes, lifting off vertically, hovering, cruising, and landing with ease, no runway needed.
This marks the first time Americans have seen flying taxis in action in person.
“It’s the future,” an announcer said. And for once, it didn’t sound like hype.
A full rollout is yet to be announced.

@CyberKentuckian@Tesla I feel like FSD is amazing but issues like this definitely need to be addressed. I’m new to FSD, so far so good. A few issues like speed, missing my driveway, and taking turns wayyyy too fast need to be fixed. Not sure what the next update will bring.
