Solving The Money Problem“FSD revenue for Tesla is going to continue to increase meaningfully over time as FSD Supervisor is approved and released in more countries around the world and simultaneously as the FSD software itself gets more capable.”
Thesis at the time
Strongly BullishThe YouTuber highlights that Tesla's FSD subscription attach rate in the US exceeded 55% in Q2, and argues this signals rapidly increasing high-margin FSD revenue as the software rolls out to more countries and becomes more capable. He frames this as a major profitability catalyst for Tesla, since FSD subscriptions are near 100% profit margin.
Key arguments
- US FSD attach rate on new vehicles sold exceeded 55% in Q2, even before FSD is unsupervised
- FSD Supervised is still rolling out to only a handful of countries globally, implying significant future growth
- FSD subscriptions are close to 100% profit since the software and hardware are already in place
- As FSD becomes safer and more capable, more people will subscribe, driving revenue and profitability higher
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Critics may argue the data set is limited (only a few EU countries, 65 million km, 4 months of data)
- Global rollout of autonomy has been slower than the speaker previously predicted, by over 6 months
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Speaker acknowledges previous overly optimistic estimates on vehicle production and autonomy rollout timing (off by ~6 months)
- FSD Supervised still not available in most of the world at time of recording
- Current FSD still requires driver attention and is not fully unsupervised
- Rollout dependent on regulatory approval in different countries

Confidence Reasoning
Strong certainty language ('is going to') and specific supporting data (55% attach rate) boost confidence, but no concrete price target or firm deadline, and the timeframe is vague ('over time').
