I think this is the weakest launch edition efforts we could see. Forcefully add FSD, Acc Boost and add some nicer plastics and stickers for the added price.

You can't add $13,000 worth of forced addons, while raising the price by $12,000 and call it all free.

Most expensive Model Y.

If you were planning to buy FSD. This would make sense.

I do/don't wanna be that guy, but I wouldn't be caught dead in one of these.

Well, perhaps dead is the only way you'll catch me in one of these.

This is not remotely a deal and is basically free advertisement. This needs to stop.

We should all report this post and maybe the mods will finally do something about it.

It doesn't matter how you feel about Tesla. If there was a price drop, that's different. This is just a product announcement.
