Tesla's FSD is a high-value, safe technology; the company is delaying advertising until it achieves unsupervised status to optimize future ROI.

I just bought a Tesla, and its fully autonomous driving capabilities are life-changing.

Frankly, this is a very important and very safe technology. I convinced him to buy one while we were talking. Literally, he bought it while we were still on the phone.

I have already given my Bentley to my father . I won't need it, I have no need for it . I will not drive it anymore . I will be driving myself from now on.

I would buy each of the ten employees at the Oppenheim Group a Tesla with full self-driving capabilities. in terms of safety, it is eight times safer than the average driver . It is 25 times safer than a distracted driver

this self-driving technology removes the biggest risk in my life. California's largest lawyers' lobbying group is trying to lobby against full self-driving technology . They are trying to obstruct it because 60% of personal injury lawyers' cases in California are related to car accidents. This is the main source of their money.

40,000 people die annually due to car accidents. Therefore, this technology will save lives. My aunt, who is getting older, told me that she needs to buy a Tesla car. If she doesn't, I will buy it for her myself, because her safety and the safety of those around her is the most important thing.

I know some people don't like Musk or Tesla for whatever reason , but guys, nothing is more important than your safety, the safety of your loved ones and friends, and the safety of your community.

He notes that, to quote, "Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities are life-changing." He emphasized the importance and safety of this technology, especially for distracted drivers, admitting that he is one of them most of the time, checking his mail, answering calls, and getting caught up in other things.

Jason, also, while on the phone, excited about how good and safe self-driving is, sells a Tesla to his brother over the phone in real time, then spoils the surprise by saying he will buy Teslas for every employee he has.

However, Jason now finds the safety , comfort, and utility of self-driving so compelling that he has given up his huge status symbol, the Bentley.

Now, not only has he adopted a Tesla with the FSD system as his daily car, but he is also buying one for each of his employees who also work in the same industry: luxury real estate.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, as Jason realized, is actually the pinnacle of luxury. What could be more luxurious than being in the safest vehicle in the world , which can drive you for 1 hour and 15 minutes to your office door without you ever touching the steering wheel ?

Tesla's FSD system, which you can currently subscribe to in the United States for $99 a month, is a very premium product at a low price. It is such a compelling product that it offers such great value that someone who was driving a car worth over $300,000 or $400,000 might have given that car to his father to benefit enormously from this amazing program.

Not only that, but he also posted what he described as the most important video he has ever posted , urging people to buy Teslas and get the FSD system to make themselves, their friends, their families, and their communities safer as well.

There is a reason behind the fact that in the last quarter, the second quarter of 2026, more than 55% of all new Tesla vehicles sold in the United States had an FSD subscription.

In the same second-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk revealed that many people are now going to Tesla showrooms and essentially asking to buy one of the Tesla cars that they can get FSD with, meaning people are buying a Tesla to get FSD.

To this extent, this program is convincing. Why don't they announce the FSD system in the "Super Bowl", you idiot? Why don't they advertise?

If you were going to spend that dollar on advertising to a consumer, would it be better and in your long-term interest as a company to spend that dollar advertising a product that is very compelling, very useful, and offers exceptional value , but that you still need to legally "supervise" it , and you can't set your destination and then move to the back seat and sleep and wake up upon arrival without paying attention to the road?

Or could you instead postpone satisfaction briefly until you have a fully unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system available in a certain area, and then spend that same advertising dollar telling the consumer: “ You can now buy a Tesla, sign up for FSD, where the system can legally get you to your destination without any supervision, meaning you get in your car, set your destination, sleep in the back seat, and wake up safely and legally at your destination.”

Even if you are of limited understanding, I think you understand the return on investment that Tesla will achieve from advertising FSD once it becomes unsupervised , and being able to tell consumers in a particular region: "You can now buy a Tesla, sign up for FSD, and the system will legally get you to your destination while you sleep in the car."

This return on investment will far outweigh any potential return they might get from telling consumers about supervised FSD . In addition , you will get the added benefit of not reinforcing the idea in the minds of consumers who have seen one of the supervised FSD advertisements that says: "Oh, this is the program you should be paying attention to." "I don't want that ."

Tesla is not stupid. Advertisements will come as FSD transitions to unsupervised mode in region after region . But until then , why waste money and damage future returns advertising unsupervised FSD by creating a false and almost permanent impression in consumers’ minds that FSD requires supervision,

when on the other hand you have people like Jason Oppenheimer posting what he himself described as his most important video ever urging people to buy Tesla with FSD?
