Tesla offers Full Self-Driving subscription for $ 199 per month

Tesla’s full self-drive subscription is finally available after several delays – and that could be better value if you’d rather not commit to a purchase. Electrek Note that an updated Tesla mobile app now offers an FSD subscription for $ 199 per month for most users, or $ 99 if you purchased Enhanced Autopilot before it was discontinued. You can cancel at any time, so you’re not tied to a minimum obligation after that first month.

You will need the appropriate FSD computer (aka HW3.0). If your EV does not have the hardware, you will need to purchase it for $ 1,500 before subscribing.

It has been a long time coming. Elon Musk first revealed plans for the subscription in April 2020, but Tesla missed stated goals of launching the feature in late 2020, early 2021, and even a “safe” launch in May.

The monthly expense is still not a trivial expense, and it would still make more sense to pay the upgrade price of $ 10,000 if you intend to use the FSD package for the life of your device. car. You would start overpaying just 50 months after the subscription started. Still, it might give you an excuse to try out the not-quite-self-contained feature to see if it’s worth the investment. It can also make sense if you think you’ll only want FSD for short breaks, like a long road trip where you’d rather let the car handle lane changes and traffic lights.
