Tesla to increase Full Self-Driving subscription price: here's when
Key Points:
- Tesla will increase its Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription price above the current $99/month as the system’s capabilities improve, with CEO Elon Musk indicating a significant price rise once unsupervised FSD becomes available.
- The option to purchase FSD outright for a one-time fee will be discontinued on February 14, shifting Tesla’s strategy fully toward subscription-based access and raising concerns about affordability among some owners.
- Tesla has removed Autopilot as a standard feature in U.S. vehicles, leaving only Traffic-Aware Cruise Control standard, signaling a focus on monetizing advanced driver-assistance features through FSD subscriptions.
- Musk highlighted Tesla Cybercab’s potential for extremely low operating costs—targeting $0.20 per mile by
