Part 8/15:
Tesla's methodology is to rely on real-world experiences from its large user base. Its FSD beta program, which currently costs $200 per month, collects continuous video data that feed back into neural network training. As Tesla lowers the price of FSD, the number of active drivers contributing data is expected to rise, accelerating the refinement of their autonomous systems.
Tesla’s aggressive pricing strategies, including reductions across its vehicle lineup—such as a 20% cut on models and an 11% decrease on Model 3—are designed to increase market share and volume. The goal is to have more vehicles on the road equipped with Tesla's full self-driving software, creating a network of data-generating assets that contribute to long-term revenue streams beyond hardware sales.
