Tesla Kicks One-Time Purchase to the Curb: Full Self-Driving Goes Subscription-Only
Tesla recently announced that it will end one-time purchases of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature starting February 14, 2026. Instead, FSD will only be available via subscription, costing $99 per month or $999 annually. While Elon Musk has not explicitly stated the reasons for this shift, speculation points towards reducing legal liability and boosting subscription revenues. The decision may also align with Musk's performance goals to achieve 10 million active FSD subscriptions. This change could impact new Tesla buyers, making FSD more accessible for short-term use but potentially affecting vehicle resale values.
