i disagree with the 65,000 figure. A baseline tesla model 3 is 38000 dollars, which has a computer that can handle full self driving beta. I can see the price going down TBH

Tesla's FSD is really far from actually being full self-driving. There's a lot of computer required to get from 85% perfect to 99%. Uber and Cruise also both have lidar which is spendy.
Cheapest Tesla atm is 47k

"FSD" is another 12k IIRC

Total 59k

Tesla FSD isn’t what we’re talking about here, that’s a level 2 system. Robotaxis would have to be level 5, or at least level 4.
You cannot buy a TM3 for less than $47K. And you'll be waiting a long time for it if you don't pay $12K for FSD.
