This is a commonly missed point. You can buy the car today and be very happy with a fantastic car as it is. I did and I'm quite happy, you'll probably be very satisfied as well. I didn't even buy the EAP, as I don't do much highway driving and I think almost no one actually buys the FSD.

Having said that, I find it hilarious that people on here have such immensely strong opinions about something that doesn't exist. They'll go at length about how LIDAR is a hard requirement, about how many FLOPs you need, etc etc etc. Fact: FSD doesn't exist and no one has it. Nobody knows which approach will work and if more than one approach works no one knows the timelines or economics of the different approaches and very certainly no one knows the market impact of these. But people start thinking they know the future and then become very emotionally vested in their make-believe stories.

It's actually quite simple: companies sell you stuff, buy it if you want it/need it. Today Waymo sells me nothing, Cruise/GM sells me nothing, Tesla sells me a great BEV with Level 2 driving assistance. I got the car, but not the level 2 because it doesn't fit my driving needs. If they start selling level 3-4-5, I'll buy it if the price is right and I need it.
