I made a $10k donation to self driving research, at least that’s how I’ve viewed it.

To a private entity owned by a scammer.

But don’t get me wrong, I can emphasize, I had plenty of bad purchases as well..

it's 199/month

It absolutely does! Tesla's practices are incredibly anti-consumer, and FSD is vapor-ware.

$10K plus $200 monthly? Talk about getting taken for a ride.

it's 10K or 200/month, not both.

who are you kidding - you pay 10 a month for spotify and dont own the songs, you rent movies on amazon and probably storage on dropbox and s3, computing power on google or ec2.

it's no different, except for you hate tesla and think it's different.

Spotify actually plays music as it claims. Amazon, etc that you listed actually provide services.

FSD is a feature that doesn't exist.

Tesla has never claimed their FSD is level 4 and you're not forced to buy it.

> you pay 10 a month for spotify

Actually, I self host nearly all media I consume. And I own the bits much more than anyone who is paying for streaming services, buying lossy MP3's, and letting control over their life be licensed away by corporations.

Ok fine, you are in the absolute minority of humans on planet earth, but i will concede that if you actually do that, my comment does not apply to you.
