Re: "FSD is now available to all Tesla owners, who are willing to fork over $12,000 for it. ."
Tesla's are cheaply built basic cars that you are paying £20000 for the name.
People think a £50k Tesla is a £50k car and expect something Mercedes, or high-end Audi in quality. It's actually a £20k car wrapped round a £30k battery, which is why overall you get something more Ford or Hyundai. Perfectly competent, of course, but nowhere near the luxury or quality you might expect for the money.
