Tesla is valuing Full Self-Driving high only when it’s convenient

Tesla is only valuing its Full Self-Driving package high when it’s convenient for the company. Elon Musk famously said that Tesla vehicles have become “appreciating assets” due to the Self-Driving (FSD) package. The logic behind the claim is that he believes as Tesla improves its FSD package through software updates, it would increase the value of Tesla vehicles. That’s when you add the package to a new order or an existing vehicle, but that’s the only time Tesla values the FSD package that high. Several Tesla owners have reached out to Electrek, frustrated with the process of upgrading their cars with Tesla because of the trade-in value the automaker would assign to their existing Tesla vehicles.
