Based on Tesla’s recent stock price, the 10k you paid for FSD is now worth about $7500.

I think years ago (the “anymore” to which your refer) SV was seen as a good thing. And certainly there are good things to come out of there.

I say this as someone who just laid out $40k for a battery/solar array in CA... we made sure Nothing came from Tesla. That lies solely on He-Lon acting like an entitled douchebag.
