Tesla is raising the price of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature for the second time this year, from US$12,000 to US$15,000. The price adjustment will take place on September 5, but if you buy a car or upgrade now until September 5, you can still buy it at the current price of US$12,000. However, Musk’s tweet only mentioned that the price of the buyout would increase, but did not say whether the subscription fee would follow.
Tesla has continued to increase the price of FSD in recent years. From the earliest launch, the option was US$5,000, and later it rose to US$10,000. This year, it jumped two levels in a row. After reaching US$12,000 at the beginning of the year, it will go up once more. US$15,000. As early as July, Musk had already stated that the US$12,000 price of FSD was “extremely cheap”, which was equivalent to indicating that there was still room for the price of FSD to rise, but he didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
