Wait, a Tesla in its default configuration doesn't allow self driving?

No it has always been an additional purchase. The only "self driving" mode that's included by default is their "auto pilot", which is just TACC with better lane assist so it can take sharper bends in the road without "bouncing" between the lines like most other cars do with lane assist.

Most people seem to incorrectly think that autopilot and FSD are the same thing, but they are not.

additional purchase

😂 people pay to be guinea pigs? Wow...

I mean, that's not really unique to Tesla customers in any way. Lots of people like to be early adopters of new things, tech more than other things I believe. More often than it's not very good when they buy in to it.
