Tesla has significantly reduced the price of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) package. The price for FSD on all variants of Tesla vehicles is now $8,000, down from $12,000, in the U.S. In Canada, the only other market where FSD is available, the price is now CAD $11,000. This follows a price cut for the FSD subscription option, which was recently slashed in half and is now $99 per month.
In addition to the price cut, Tesla also simplified the FSD options by reducing the “Enhanced Autopilot” package, a middle ground between Tesla’s “Basic Autopilot” set of features and FSD. Customers who have previously purchased Enhanced Autopilot can now upgrade to FSD for $2,000.
Despite these changes, FSD still doesn’t fully fulfill the promise in its name, which is fully autonomous driving, instead requiring the driver to be attentive and ready to take over at all times. The changes come after a challenging couple of weeks for Tesla, in which the company reported weaker-than-expected vehicle deliveries, cut more than 10 percent of its workforce and recalled all of its Cybertrucks.
