Tesla: people really like that you can just order a car online and not have to deal with slimey sales tactics. What can we do to fuck even that up too?

Since not every car they sell is capable of it, I'm guessing this means to demo it for everyone who ordered it (or ordered a car capable of it, since the subscription can only be enabled on such cars).

The delivery process takes like a handful of minutes, and everyone who orders one still has to go through it, so if they're mandating a drive, I guess that roughly doubled the delivery process time.

Its very few cars that are not FSD capable, mostly older S and X. There are some older model 3's (pre spring 2019) with hardware version 2 that I think can't run modern FSD.

Ah, I wasn't aware that new ones came "FSD Capable" by default.

Its hard for them to sell you FSD at $12k (or $199/mo) if the hardware can't support it.
