Tesla has reduced the price of its Full Self-Driving software in the US and Canada. Per a post from the company on , it now costs $8,000 in the US (or $11,000 for buyers in Canada) to add the so-called Full Self-Driving Capability. This is down from $12,000 ($16,000 CAD), according to , which also reports that Tesla has discontinued the $6,000 Enhanced Autopilot option. Current owners with that package can upgrade to FSD for $2,000.
Tesla’s driver assistance features have been under scrutiny from regulators for years, and despite the name, Full Self-Driving isn’t meant to fully take over for a human driver at this stage. On its website, Tesla notes that current FSD features “require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.” In March, the company reportedly introduced a mandate of FSD before they’re able to take home their new cars, so they can see what the software has to offer.
The latest price drop comes a few days after of its subscription for FSD — which it has recently been referring to as Full Self-Driving (Supervised). The subscription, which previously cost $199/month, now goes for $99/month. Tesla also vehicles this weekend by $2,000 each. Earlier this month, Tesla reported that its fell short of expectations, with an eight percent drop year-over-year.
