The question 'Is Product X worth Y dollars' is best asked of commodities like gasoline, milk, or maybe even mobile phones. A commodity product is one that is produced by a large number of different companies, and there is little to differentiate it other than price.
Tesla is the only company selling this product, so there's nothing to compare it to. Is $10,000 too much to pay for a software upgrade that may (soon) handle most driving tasks for you? I don't know, what other product do you compare it to? It could be a total ripoff, or it could be a bargain. It's kind of like asking whether the SpaceX tickets to orbit the moon are 'too much'. There's no reference point.
Now of course each of us individually can weigh in on whether it's too much, and ultimately the market will decide. But I would say the 'fair market value' of an autonomous upgrade to a consumer vehicle isn't yet known.
