In a podcast published on 2026-10-05, the host discusses an X post by Jason Oppenheimer, a luxury real estate agent based in Los Angeles, California, which garnered over 2.2 million views.
**Key points from Jason Oppenheimer's video:**
* He describes his new Tesla with Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities as "life-changing" and the "most important video" he's ever posted.
* He demonstrated the car backing out of a parking lot and stated it would drive him for an hour and 15 minutes to his office, parking itself without him touching the steering wheel or gas pedal.
* He claims FSD is "so safe," stating it's eight times safer than the average driver and 25 times safer than the average distracted driver, admitting he is often a distracted driver.
* He mentioned being on the phone with his brother last night and convincing him to buy a Tesla with FSD.
* He stated he gave his Bentley to his dad because he no longer needs it and plans to get all 10 of his employees at The Oppenheim Group a Tesla with FSD capability.
* He alleged that the California attorneys lobbying group is trying to slow down FSD adoption because 60 percent of personal injury lawyer cases in California are car accidents, which is where they get most of their money.
* He cited that 40,000 people a year die from car accidents, suggesting FSD will save lives.
* He encouraged listeners to consider FSD, stating he told his aging aunt to get one, or he would buy it for her, emphasizing safety for loved ones and the community.
**Podcast host's commentary and additional information:**
* The host notes Jason Oppenheimer's success in luxury real estate and media, highlighting his willingness to give up a Bentley—a significant status symbol—for the "utility and huge increase in personal safety" of Tesla FSD.
* The host describes FSD as the "ultimate luxury," providing a "personal chauffeur."
* Tesla FSD, in the US, is available via subscription for $99 per month. The host calls it an "extremely high-end luxury product for a bargain price."
* During Q2 2026, over 55% of all new Tesla vehicles sold in the United States included an FSD subscription.
* Elon Musk disclosed on the same Q2 2026 earnings call that many people are now going to Tesla showrooms specifically asking to buy Teslas with FSD.
* The host explains Tesla's strategy for not running mass-market advertisements for FSD, such as Super Bowl ads, by arguing against advertising "supervised" FSD. The company intends to delay gratification until FSD is "unsupervised" in a region, at which point the return on investment for advertising will be vastly greater, allowing them to market the ability to legally sleep in the vehicle while FSD drives.
