Now, if you want your new Tesla to steer itself—while you pay attention to the road—you will have to pay for FSD. Until the middle of February, that can be done for a one-time fee of $8,000. But starting on February 14, that option goes away, too, and the sole choice will be a $99/month FSD subscription. But probably not for very long. Last night, Musk revealed on his social media platform that “the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve.
I don’t own a Tesla, but a $99 monthly subscription feels like quite a hefty price tag.
According to a Reuters report on this topic, this change affects only Canada and the US.
Did they ever fix the phantom braking issue? I haven’t used their “cruise control” (Autopilot) for years because I’m tired of it randomly deciding to come to a complete stop in the middle of the interstate. Damned if I’m going to pay for it.
I had the same experience circa 2021, but pressed the gas “go” pedal before I got below 45. Shit scared me from ever trying auto pilot again.
