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.
We are lucky/cursed enough to own a Tesla with FSD.
It got to the point where it did some things pretty well, and it was at least predictable.
About a year ago they revamped it completely where now it drives erratically and exhibits a lot of habits made by poor drivers.
Worst thing now is it will not maintain speed. I repeat, it is impossible to cruise on an open highway at a specific speed. It’s absolute garbage.
Sometimes I turn off FSD just to have cruise control, though it then runs an old driving model that has huge flaws. I’m talking initial release shit from 2018.
Whenever we rent a car I’m amazed at how any newer economy vehicle can do “basic” stuff like adaptive cruise control without fuss.
Even without all the political shite, they’ve really lost their way.
