In the US and Canada, Tesla has lowered the cost of its full self-driving software. The so-called Full Self-Driving (FSD) Capability is currently available for $8,000 in the US (or $11,000 for Canadian consumers) according to a post by the firm on X. According to Electrek, which also notes that Tesla has canceled the $6,000 Enhanced Autopilot option, this is down from $12,000 ($16,000 CAD). For $2,000, current owners with that bundle can upgrade to FSD.
Regulators have been examining Tesla’s driving aid features for years, and in spite of the term, Full Self-Driving isn’t intended to replace a human driver entirely just yet. The present FSD functions, according to Tesla, “require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous,” according to their website. The business allegedly implemented a rule in March mandating that employees provide buyers a demonstration of FSD before letting them drive away with their new vehicles, so they can experience the features of the software.
The most recent price reduction occurs a few days after Tesla reduced the monthly fee for its FSD subscription, which company has been calling Full Self-Driving (Supervised) lately. The monthly subscription, which was $199 earlier, is now only $99 currently. This weekend, Tesla also reduced the beginning prices of its Model Y, X, and S automobiles by a total of $2,000 apiece. Tesla said earlier this month that its Q1 2024 car deliveries fell short of forecasts, declining about 8% year over year.
