Tesla is raising the cost of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) option for the second time this year. Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday that the driving assistance software’s initial purchase price would rise to $15,000 on September 5. On orders placed before that day, the company will honor the existing price of $12,000 but will deliver those automobiles later. Note that using the Tesla app, you may upgrade your current vehicle to FSD in about two minutes. He omitted to mention whether Tesla would raise the cost of its FSD subscription plans. Adding the software presently costs as much as $199 a month, depending on your Tesla’s current Autopilot capabilities.

Over the years, Tesla has steadily raised the cost of its Full Self-Driving function. Customers had to pay $5,000 to add the software during configuration and $7,000 after delivery when the business first started offering FSD as a separate option from Autopilot. FSD cost $10,000 at the beginning of the year but is now $12,000 instead. When he stated that the software was “ridiculously cheap” at $12,000 and that a price increase would mean the difference between Tesla “being worth a lot of money or worth practically $0,” Elon Musk hinted that Tesla might raise the price of FSD once again.
