FSD is the $12,000 upgrade package.
This isn't the "free" Autopilot package included in every Tesla. This is literally an upselling maneuver for Tesla. If this were a "learning" kind of thing coming from Tesla / Elon, it'd only apply to people who were interested in the $12,000 FSD package, not the entire damn customer base.
This is dealership-level bullshit. Actually, its far worse than any dealership bullshit I've ever seen. Its not like Hummer sales-reps are going to force me to sit through a "Crab Walk" demo or Toyota sales reps are going to have me sit through Toyota-features when I'm shopping with them. There's a bit of upselling going on in any car buying process, but $12,000+ upselling maneuvers (like FSD advertisement) is well into the bullshit territory.
