Why would customers pay for the unreleased FSD if its available for an upgrade at any time?

Why would you pay for an unreleased product before is available having the option to upgrade to it when it is available?

Tesla has been selling FSD for years now and it has never been available, why would you buy it on the Model 3 knowing that?

These 3 questions are essentially the same, just worded differently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You might buy it now if you think it will be more expensive in the future, or if you think it won’t arrive unless users send money to Tesla now, so that it has money to create it (a kind of Kickstarter, or an investment that may or may not end up being a wise one)

(If the latter, you probably are better of buying Tesla shares than buying the FSD option now. If Tesla reaches the point where it sells a fully self-driving car, those shares probably will be worth more than the price of that feature)

Or because you can finance it if you order it now.
