FSD, Musk is re-evaluating its valueElon just posted an X, the tweet was simple, but there's a lot to unpack behind it. 1. Financially, converting volatile hardware profits into stable, high-margin recurring revenue. Tesla is essentially an AI and robotics company, not a traditional manufacturer. A one-time purchase is a single transaction, while a subscription turns the vehicle into a terminal that continuously generates cash flow. A one-time purchase creates a psychological account where the value of FSD is fixed. Ending one-time purchases means no longer treating FSD as an &#34;accessory&#34; but defining it as a &#34;utility service&#34; or &#34;operating system license.&#34; 2. Lowering the barrier to accelerate the network effects of the &#34;data flywheel.&#34; The key to winning in autonomous driving isn’t the sophistication of the algorithm but the scale of training data. More subscribers → more miles driven → more edge-case data → stronger algorithms → attracting more subscribers. A single fatal edge case in autonomous driving could destroy a physical AI company. 3. Paving the way for Robotaxi. If cars can achieve true full self-driving, vehicle ownership will become less important—what matters is the car + FSD. Are taxis expensive, or are drivers expensive? If drivers are expensive, then FSD is expensive, meaning FSD brings you more income, making it more feasible to add your car to Robotaxi. More people using Robotaxi → owners/carmakers profit → more owners join → more FSD cars available → more people willing to hail Robotaxi.If you can buy it outright, just buy FSD!
