FSD actually isn't a big part of what Tesla sells. They have $1B set aside from sales revenues of the FSD option to pay for implementation.

That sounds like a big number, but it's less than the revenue of 2 days car production.

Good, then there's no reason to rip people off in the meantime. Refund the money now and only charge customers money if and when they deliver actual factual full self-driving.

Tesla backed themselves into this corner. They have lied about the state of full self-driving for years and they have failed to deliver on their own self imposed deadlines.

Teslas don't even do full self-parking, nevermind full self-driving:

Tesla admits they have failed to deliver (as an attempt to avoid being done for fraud):

So, now that Tesla has done the hard thing of admitting to their failure, they can do the easy thing of returning the money.
