Tesla Incentivizing FSD Use With Insurance Discounts: Brilliant Move or Reckless Gamble?
Tesla is offering insurance discounts to drivers who use Full Self-Driving more frequently. This raises some serious questions. Is this a clever way to gather more real-world data, or is it a risky gamble with public safety? Considering MotorTrend’s own experience with FSD’s sometimes erratic behavior, is this discount encouraging drivers to take unnecessary risks? Are we effectively becoming beta testers on public roads, incentivized by lower insurance premiums?
This move also begs the question: does this discount acknowledge the inherent risks of FSD? By seemingly offsetting the potential cost of accidents with lower premiums, is Tesla implicitly admitting that increased FSD usage could lead to more incidents?
What are your thoughts on this new incentive program? Is it enough to convince you to use FSD more often? Does this change your perception of FSD’s safety and reliability? Share your experiences and predictions for the future of FSD.
