Shifting from a sales-based model to a subscription-based model signals a noteworthy change. Tesla autonomous driving technology developers are confident in achieving fully autonomous driving and are willing to switch to a pure subscription model, indicating that in their view, the technological singularity may indeed be near. This business model adjustment reflects judgments about product stability and market prospects—only through continuous and reliable technological iterations can the long-term subscription business logic be supported.

Actions are also accelerating in the domestic market. If this feature can be implemented before the Spring Festival travel peak, it will be a significant upgrade to consumers' driving experience. Autonomous driving moving from concept to practicality may happen within this cycle. In any case, such technological breakthroughs are worth paying attention to—they represent a major step forward for the entire industry.

The subscription model is really aggressive; basically, it's betting that autonomous driving will really work. If it can be used before the Spring Festival, that would be amazing, and traffic congestion time could be saved again. Speaking of which, if this technology really gets implemented, won't traditional car manufacturers be panicking? After all the hype, it finally looks like the real deal. However, whether the subscription fee will turn out to be a trap is the real key.

Subscription model? Basically, it's just laying the groundwork for continuous bloodsucking. --- Launching before the Spring Festival... Just listen, I bet five bucks it will be delayed again. --- This logic is a bit ridiculous. Saying confidence is why they changed to a subscription? I feel like it's because traffic has peaked and they want to find another way to cut the leeks. --- If the technological singularity is really near, now is the time to openly attract followers for free, instead of pushing paid subscriptions? Wake up. --- Wait, pushing forward domestically at the same time? Is this speed serious or just another pie in the sky? --- Every time they say a technological breakthrough is just around the corner, but what’s the result? --- The subscription trick is really brilliant. Just wait and see, you'll be charged eventually. --- I just want to know when we can actually use it, don’t keep talking about these business logic things.

Damn, subscription model? They're really going to sell it now. Wait, can it be used before the Spring Festival? I don't believe you. But on the other hand, if this move really materializes, it’s actually quite impressive. The fact that they dare to play with the subscription model shows they really have some confidence.

Well, the subscription model is a tricky game; only those with real skill dare to play like that. It would be amazing if we can use it during the Spring Festival; otherwise, you won't even be able to get out without traffic jams. Elon Musk is just betting on technology without stepping into pitfalls; I bet he still will. Basically, if the technology isn't in place, don't expect to harvest long-term gains.

Subscription model is really awesome, this is betting on fully autonomous driving to succeed. Speaking of which, if this really gets implemented, traffic jams during the Spring Festival will be saved, haha. It feels like Tesla's move is quite aggressive; unless they are really confident, who would dare to play like this? But is this thing reliable? It still might occasionally glitch, right? It's surprising how quickly the domestic follow-up is happening; it seems the competition is heating up. Once this technology matures, the automotive industry is probably going to change dramatically. Daring to switch to a subscription model shows they truly believe the technology is in place, or they are just gambling. Wait, if this really happens, my broken car will depreciate to death. If autonomous driving really becomes mainstream, will anyone want to drive a manual transmission anymore, haha.

The subscription model, to put it simply, is betting that the technology can truly be stable. People willing to do this must have a lot on their minds. Can it be used before the Spring Festival? Don't get your hopes up yet; let's wait until it really hits the market. Elon Musk and his team are just making empty promises again. We've been hearing about autonomous driving for almost ten years. But on the other hand, domestic manufacturers are quite quick to respond. With the emergence of the subscription model, wallets will shrink again. From outright sales to subscription-based, users are being tightly controlled... but keeping up with technology is indeed necessary. If it truly gets implemented, it will definitely change the game, but only if it can be practically used. Can it be done domestically before the Spring Festival? I remain skeptical, but I hope to be proven wrong.
