How to Buy a Tesla and Get FSD for Free (tynan.com)

A recent review highlights the significant advancements in Tesla's Full Self Driving (FSD) technology, particularly following the release of FSD version 14. The author, who purchased a Model S equipped with FSD, describes a transformative experience in driving, emphasizing the system's capability to handle 98% of driving autonomously. This development has led to a renewed appreciation for Teslas, highlighting not only the evolving technology but also the enhanced functionality that makes FSD a credible alternative to traditional transportation methods. The review also points out the economic opportunity for potential buyers, especially with the introduction of FSD Hunter, an app that helps users locate Teslas equipped with FSD at competitive prices. Notably, hardware differences between the older Hardware 3 and the newer Hardware 4 significantly impact performance, with HW4 providing about eight times the capability of HW3. As Tesla plans to upgrade older vehicles to newer hardware versions, buyers can secure FSD functionality at lower costs, ensuring access to state-of-the-art self-driving technology. This presents an exciting time for the AI/ML community, illustrating the rapid pace of innovation in autonomous driving technologies that could reshape urban mobility.
