I wonder how much of the margin is made up of the $10,000 FSD option?

Very little. First of all, a lot of cars are sold without this option, but most importantly, a large part the money isn't recognized as revenue yet, as the FSD isn't ready yet. A part of it is recognized due features like "summon" and "navigate on autopilot". But the large part of that money is still unrecognized revenue. There will be a boost to the revenue, when they can recognize the remaining part of the FSD payments in the future, but this will be a one-time effect.

This is interesting. You're claiming that the FSD money they collect isn't recognized yet? Can I ask you what leads to you thinking that? I'm sure it's in one of their financial disclosures, but you may be able to narrow it down for me.

There were statements made when they recognized parts of the FSD money.

I'm sure they were. I don't disbelieve you. I just don't quite get what to search for (or where) to find out how that policy works and what percentage of income they've already recognized.

The take rate was somewhat recently estimated at 11%.
