I just want max speed back

analyticsboi 2026-02-26 23:31

This is becoming out of touch Tesla wtf, give us $20 a month

apoleonastool 2026-02-26 23:32

I would pay $49/month. No more.

Dismal_Push8053 2026-02-26 23:34

Okay then let me pay $3 when I need it lol

diezel_dave 2026-02-26 23:34

My limit would be 50 and even then, I would only subscribe if I had a lot of driving planned. At 20/month I'd probably permanently subscribe.

Omacrontron 2026-02-26 23:36

For HW3

Beginning_Pepper3630 2026-02-26 23:37

My car hasn't had a FSD update in over 12months Why pay for something that's not supported ? l

SnapperMaster 2026-02-26 23:37

HW3 and lower should definitely have a lower price

ENaC2 2026-02-26 23:39

$3 a day whether you use it or not. If you could pay $3 a day to use it, I probably would because I don’t do many long road trips.

EitherCharacter9342 2026-02-26 23:39

Drop the price by a bit

EitherCharacter9342 2026-02-26 23:40

Just gotta wait it out for V14 lite in Q2 of 2026

dqontherun 2026-02-26 23:40

Who buys coffee out every day? Ridiculous statement to make to try and bait me to buy.

shumpitostick 2026-02-26 23:40

Yeah $3 a day is actually quite a lot

dnguyen823 2026-02-26 23:41

Quite a bit

Low_Site_5877 2026-02-26 23:42

I don’t drink coffee and I don’t have any other luxury things I’m spending $3/day on.

EitherCharacter9342 2026-02-26 23:42

At least lower than Rivan UHD.

aimoony 2026-02-26 23:43

idk. I gladly pay it but I'm sure they'd get a lot more buyers at the $50 price point

xonehandedbanditx 2026-02-26 23:44

And minimal lane change

Possible_Version2680 2026-02-26 23:44

I wouldn’t pay more than 99 tbh

Falconpunchjr 2026-02-26 23:44

I would pay $3 on days I choose to use fsd. But not $99 a month because sometimes I forget I subbed.

sadoian 2026-02-26 23:44

I’ve found it most useful for long road trips but at the same time autopilot does just fine on long highway stretches too. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t ā€œtieredā€ it yet… e.g. $20 for 24 hours, $99 for a month, or $899 for a year

S2lazy 2026-02-26 23:45

Too poor to burn $3 a day.

aimoony 2026-02-26 23:45

tons of people do

NoCheeseNoRats 2026-02-26 23:46

Ive been paying it for about 6 months since it somehow randomly signed me up and it was so good now that I've kept it. Only downside is more and more for my driving job between houses very short 1 block drives I rarely use it and lately stopped is not it as I need to be on phone while driving and the alerts almost time.

BBQLowNSlow 2026-02-26 23:46

Yup

BobLazarFan 2026-02-26 23:46

I would easily do 100 if it was truly hands off.

Tradetheday2093 2026-02-26 23:46

Depends, if you drive a lot of miles per day to work and then errands or your business, FSD has helped me be less tired after a lot of driving.

You're eating into my fuel efficiency, sir šŸ˜‚ Zero emossions, but I got 4 subscriptions for you. ![gif](giphy|BIZkwFtu2xDlS)

foodisgod9 2026-02-26 23:47

49.99

rflo24 2026-02-26 23:47

imo Tesla pushing this wayyyyyyy too hard. FSD is good but it’s not everything

red_intellect 2026-02-26 23:47

FSD sub cost is going to price drop. What was the goal 10 million? And they hover currently around 1 million? So they have to boost subscriptions by 10x. Only way you do that is by price dropping. Now by how much? Well they going have to find a point where the increase subscription count revenue outdoes the decrease in subscription price.

SUPER-NIINTENDO 2026-02-26 23:48

#But your daily coffee costs more!!!

Tusks_Up 2026-02-26 23:48

$3 a day for something I don't want isn't exactly a good deal. Call me when it works adequately, and then we can talk.

foodisgod9 2026-02-26 23:48

They should just start charging by time of use

Top_Shelf_Ramen 2026-02-26 23:49

This is the biggest reason I will not buy another Tesla. Once my M3 goes out, I’m not going back.

wellthisisthat 2026-02-26 23:50

I like this guys thinking

Candylicker0469 2026-02-26 23:50

How many months has version 12.6.4 been released? Maybe release a new version and more people would subscribe.

meteoRock 2026-02-26 23:51

I prefer driving my car on a day to day basis. Long road trips are the only time I’d consider using autopilot or FSD.

Antraxx310 2026-02-26 23:51

I paid the full 8k for my 2026 m3 so i didnt have to worry about subscription one and done.

Sir-putin 2026-02-26 23:51

Ye $3 for a cup of coffee is still robbery.

Lollerscooter 2026-02-26 23:51

Why would I spend $3 a day on coffee? I have a coffee machine at home, it is so cheap it is practically free. Dumbfucks.

ALargeHotCarl 2026-02-26 23:51

I would pay triple if necessary.

DevinOlsen 2026-02-26 23:51

Why? It’s worse than rivians UHF in every single way possible - why would they have to lower the price to be LESS than an inferior product?

MattyBratty 2026-02-26 23:54

I just want auto park

Former-Discount4279 2026-02-26 23:55

Makes me more nervous than my wife driving, not worth the high blood pressure.

EitherCharacter9342 2026-02-26 23:55

I meant the other way around for FSD lower price than Rivan UHF but it still leagues ahead.

CaterpillarNo6777 2026-02-26 23:56

Heck I’d pay $3 a drive to have it on anything over 45 mins

Psyking0 2026-02-26 23:56

Max speed to + 10 over please. Oh and if they raise the price I’m out.

TESLATURKEY 2026-02-26 23:57

For HW4. HW3 I'd pay max $29.99/mo.

htdwps 2026-02-26 23:58

$5 for 24 hours of use and I’m there! I would probably have a $20-30 budget for it in that case needing it only 4-6 times a month

yeezushchristmas 2026-02-27 00:00

If FSD was $2500 I’d buy. Maybe $5000 with some additional enhancements, the most recent update was the best test I’ve had thus far

Dense_Emergency6081 2026-02-27 00:03

I know people with a Tesla you couldn’t pay THEM $99 to use it. They don’t want to and don’t trust it. They wanted lane keeping only which Tesla took away. Now this luxury car has fewer features than anything comparable so now Tesla is losing those customers. I’m sorry but it isn’t only price keeping people from it. They nerfed the incentive for that segment.

KevinDohertyy 2026-02-27 00:03

i drink coffee like twice a week can yall lower it to that

jamakavel_ 2026-02-27 00:04

you’d be suprised

Tsurfer4 2026-02-27 00:04

I use it every time I drive which is pretty much every day except the occasional lazy holiday.

CousinEddysMotorHome 2026-02-27 00:04

$99 a month is totally worth it.

Bigpinkwilly 2026-02-27 00:05

Same, about to patent the idea

terps_boy 2026-02-27 00:07

If it was actually full self driving then it would be worth it

midnight_to_midnight 2026-02-27 00:07

I'd pay $20/mo for EAP. I'll never pay another dime for FSD. I don't care for it. EAP is all I want.

Dogesneakers 2026-02-27 00:11

If I could nap in the car I’d pay $100

kghyr8 2026-02-27 00:11

FSD works best for daily driving. I find standard autopilot better for long road trips.

IGNORED34 2026-02-27 00:12

I'd pay that for eap, forget fsd on hw3

groot95 2026-02-27 00:12

Perhaps the most useless feature I’ve ever experienced

Zestyclose-Peace5050 2026-02-27 00:12

I personally don’t want my 100 year old grandma driving me. Maybe 30 years driving experience is better than

BrownEyesWhiteScarf 2026-02-27 00:13

And they blamed millennials for their daily cafe coffee.

jspirits2020 2026-02-27 00:14

Let's not encourage the development of a renters serf economy where we own nothing and rent everything.

bdz 2026-02-27 00:14

I did. $130 a month in just coffee. Kicked it and another subscription service and now saving $230 a month 🤣

TechLover94 2026-02-27 00:15

It should be free until it’s eyes off L4

DR_Manhattan0x1 2026-02-27 00:15

I’ll pay $19.99 for it but for $100 I’ll continue keeping my hands on the wheel and foot on the pedals.

Bt910 2026-02-27 00:17

Can we do the daily rate subscription $3/day instead?

bluesqueen23 2026-02-27 00:17

I’ve owned my Tesla since 2020. I think I’ve used FSD maybe a total of 5 times. I live in a rural area. No shoulders to roads. Just ravines & ditches on the sides. I don’t need it running me off the road, etc. I’ve driven tractors, sat in my grandpa’s lap as a kid, all kinds of things pertaining to driving. I was driving a tractor and a farm truck at 8. Love the Tesla but I want to be in control of the driving.

Beginning_Pepper3630 2026-02-27 00:19

I'm still waiting for the wiper fix

lol_cat01 2026-02-27 00:21

You guys complain like they are forcing you to buy it at gun point …

cloudsofgrey 2026-02-27 00:22

It will never be free because of the billions it costs to power it and develop it. Lower, sure.

jaxon_15 2026-02-27 00:23

Once it becomes UNSUPERVISED FSD than I can justify paying a $100 a month. When I'm able to take a nap and have my car drive me or be on my laptop or phone in my backseat while my car drives me like the robotaxi does now we're talking.

Hot-Accountant-4425 2026-02-27 00:24

Hey, no problem let me shell out 60 grand for your car and then still pay you $100 a month for lifeā€¦šŸ¤¬

Smartnership 2026-02-27 00:24

For 24 hours of chauffeur?

atashireality 2026-02-27 00:25

For just 3 dollars a day, you can feed one starving billionaire

Horror_Discussion_65 2026-02-27 00:25

This. If only fsd would just stray in one freaking lane and stop all that damn lane changing on a long trip.

iching66 2026-02-27 00:25

But it IS the reason a lot of us does sign up… imagine it being $30 a day

BadMotherThukker 2026-02-27 00:26

Robotaxi is $0.50 to $3.50 a mile depending on the traffic and area. I assume they'll adopt this.

MediaNeat2069 2026-02-27 00:26

24 hours of chauffeur? How? I still am responsible for anything that happens and I still need to be focused all the time? When I have chauffeur I can sleep when I want, watch a movie when I want.

Mysterious-Maize307 2026-02-27 00:27

I drive 170 miles daily round trip on highway and mountain roads for a 6 month seasonal job (no way would I do this commute year round but it’s a skiing job so there’s a trade off). I subscribe for FSD half the year. It works well and I was skeptical at first about how it lessens fatigue, particularly after a long day in the mountain. But it absolutely does. I don’t use it much around town but for a 85mi one way commute it’s awesome!

danielito72 2026-02-27 00:27

I’d think about it for to $999/year…definitely would get it for $50/month… My 2 months trial just ended, and auto steering sucks! That it disconnects when you’re changing lanes stupid. The graphics without FSD suck too…maybe it’s a way to make you keep FSD

krump91 2026-02-27 00:28

This cause I have Tesla insurance and it would be cheaper to use FSD to get a perfect driving score lol then to drive on my own

rkanedy 2026-02-27 00:29

FSD should come with Premium Connectivity and maybe more people would sign up.

ResidentWord8046 2026-02-27 00:30

I feel like autopilot has gotten way worse lately? Probably to make you move to fsd? Mine is constantly beeping at me even if I’m paying attention. It hits the brakes hard if a car brakes even like 20 feet ahead

gooniegoob 2026-02-27 00:30

Im in the minority it seems, but 99 is reasonable and has been an amazing service for me. If you can spend 40-50k on a Tesla, but 99 a month is too much, then ya probably couldn't afford your Tesla to begin with

fred2028 2026-02-27 00:32

This is not attractive until Tesla will assume all liability for accidents while in FSD.

ajdubay 2026-02-27 00:32

Hell, even if they charged $5 for a 24 hour FSD day pass I would jump all over that a couple times a month, easily. Edit: or as others have stated $49/month would be reasonable. If they offered both options, they would surely have significantly more casual users.

Quepiid 2026-02-27 00:32

Lower than HW3 can’t even get it.

Quepiid 2026-02-27 00:33

I have enhanced autopilot and it would be $49.99 a month for me. But with enhanced autopilot you don’t really need it

CTrandomdude 2026-02-27 00:33

The last free trial and a recent loaner proved to me this is amazing technology that actually works. The previous versions were scary and frustrating. It has come a long way. I am sure the next few updates will be even better and safer. I think offering a few different subscription options would be beneficial and get more people on board. A yearly subscription option. I thought they were going to do this but have not seen it available yet. I read it was going to be $1,000 per year but that is too expensive. It should be more like $750. Monthly should be $75.00. 14 days should be $50.00. This way you can appeal to people with different needs and incomes. Offering it for just a day or even a week seams like more of a pain to administer for Tesla. Plus your goal is for as many vehicles to have this in operation 24/7. You do not want to incentivize people to not have it monthly or yearly which is a better business model.

Initial_Row_6400 2026-02-27 00:35

I like that. I’d pay for it when in shit ass traffic

Quepiid 2026-02-27 00:35

Time for us to stop supporting Tesla. They got rid of the option to buy FSD and they completely got rid of autopilot to push more people to subscribe to FSD. Stop subscribing and they will fix it.

audigex 2026-02-27 00:35

I mean, I don't spend $3/day on coffee, either, and who budgets daily? But even if I did, I'd spend it on days I need a coffee... I wouldn't pay $99/month for a subscription and then hope I need a coffee 33 times a month

NCpoorStudent 2026-02-27 00:37

unless someone offers it free or someone develops an open source equivalent, it will remain that way. In early 00s, Sun microsystems used to sell commercial hardware that runs the website for several $$$. Then linux and running commercial grade services on consumer hardware revolution happened (via google and others) and now anyone can host a website for next to nothing. I wish CommaAI can do some of the features like taking turns and auto lane change equivalents.

keliix06 2026-02-27 00:38

shumpitostick 2026-02-27 00:38

StartledPelican 2026-02-27 00:38

FSD is the reason you won't buy a Tesla? FSD being $99/month? Or something else?

txreddit17 2026-02-27 00:38

What if you would only use fsd once or twice a month though. Still worth $99 to use it twice?

cashnicholas 2026-02-27 00:40

I’m on hw3. I’d pay 50 tops.

Anal_Herschiser 2026-02-27 00:42

Comparing the cost to a cup of coffee isn’t the flex it used to be. Pretty much any financial advisor will tell you the first thing to cut from any budget would be trips to Starbucks.

gooniegoob 2026-02-27 00:42

It's the same concept as paying for Nextflix or Prime, the cost may not seem worth it if I only watch one movie a month either

Quin1617 2026-02-27 00:42

Coffee is the *worse* thing you could’ve chosen. Hell I f I had a daily commute I’d probably be one of them.

PugMaster007 2026-02-27 00:43

FSD Rocks!

TimmysDrumsticks 2026-02-27 00:43

If they insist on charging 100 a month they should charge per mile that it’s used up to $100 a month cap. That way if I only use it once in a while, I don’t need to pay a full $100 a month

Soft_Lab_221 2026-02-27 00:43

Same goes with me I too have EAP and my cost is 49.99 but in true means I really don’t like getting it as much work already done by EAP.

evanlam 2026-02-27 00:47

Great! Can we pay by daily then instead of by monthly?

EvilNickel 2026-02-27 00:48

noooo because then they'll charge something stupid like $5.99 for a day pass, then later say "well we're bumping it up to $120 to keep it in line with the day pass pricing but still offering a discount"

UFO_Tofu1973 2026-02-27 00:50

My coworker paid $9 for a Starbucks the other day and hated it. lol

farmerMac 2026-02-27 00:50

Embarrassed-Meat5475 2026-02-27 00:50

Car that drives for me for $99!? I’d pay more.

waznpride 2026-02-27 00:52

You forgot the asterisk: *Prices are subject to change at any time.

AJHenderson 2026-02-27 00:53

The daily cost absolutely is a reason people don't want to sign up. If I didn't own it already, I wouldn't pay $3 a day. That's more than my cellphone bill and almost as much as my Internet bill and I get a hell of a lot more use out of those. It's still a supervised system and I only drive 10-20 miles most days so it's more expensive than the entire rest of the cost of the vehicle per mile at $100 a month.

kerneldoge 2026-02-27 00:54

Billions to pay Elon you mean.

Tallyoyoguy42 2026-02-27 00:55

Give people a $10/day option. Or better yet 10c/min Let's do micro transactions and a battle pass while we're at it

AJHenderson 2026-02-27 00:55

I wouldn't pay $3 a day to constantly have to change speed profiles to try to get it to drive a reasonable speed for the 20 miles I drive on an average day.

HeyBeers 2026-02-27 00:56

Wrong. My daily coffee is $0.25. Which is $7.75 a month

Opposite_Extreme_667 2026-02-27 00:59

What is this?

codenigma 2026-02-27 01:00

Not sure where this is, but I completed over 15K miles in self driving and there have been no issues so far with the exception of snow. The most annoying thing at this point is Tesla's own nagging every time you glance at the screen to control something or select a song.

maestro-5838 2026-02-27 01:01

Make it 3 dollars a day as you use it. If I don't drive 15 days out of a month then charge me 45.

mrplt 2026-02-27 01:04

I just drove 400 miles entirely on FSD (including parking at a charging stall) I’ll take FSD over standard autopilot any day of the week

Never enjoyed driving like some others, so this feature has been huge for me

thirdeyefish 2026-02-27 01:11

... I can only give up that cup of coffee once a day. Which I already did because I do coffee at home *TO NOT SPEND $100 EVERY MONTH ON COFFEE*. Stop trying to help me rationalize spending a day or more's income on a luxury. I've got two hours a month to give you. That's the budget.

joeyat 2026-02-27 01:12

Pay $3 to sit in anxiety while a computer drives me; a computer its which gets all its data about the world from a bunch of low res webcams… then as I sit there while it slams into all the potholes, ruining my wheels? No thanks! If Elon wants me to pay for it, he needs to become a massive left socialist.. and advocate for policies which work for the good of society so we can pay for public resources to fix roads and make them nice and smooth for his robocars.

It will be free/included in the vehicle purchase price just as soon as every Ford Chevy and Toyota cone with it which is probably much sooner than we all think.

My model 3 sits idle at least 300 days a year, in the winter whole months go by as it enjoys the comfort of the garage. Not worth it at half the price.

Trojanhero4 2026-02-27 01:25

Commute 5 days/week, $3/day, $59 per month and I'd consider it

CommitteeComplete154 2026-02-27 01:27

I rarely drive far so FSD per month isn’t worth it. But I’d drop 20 for a long distance trip. I’d bet they’d make more money

MuskIsKing 2026-02-27 01:31

Make it pay as you drive and not a monthly subscription.

dikarus012 2026-02-27 01:32

Or, hear me out, I pay $99 then Tesla credits me $3 every 30mi I drive with it fully active, as long as data sharing is fully enabled. With a monthly cap of $99 credit. You get your precious FSD data. I get taken to and from work while supervising it. Everyone wins.

Sceptz 2026-02-27 01:33

" $99 per Month is Around $3 a Day. Your daily unsealed jar of Bull Ants, that end up all crawling over your body to bite you, simultaneously, and cause you seering pain, could cost more than that. "

Got FSD when I bought the car. FSD is the reason I wanted a Tesla. Couldn’t imagine buying the car and then not getting the software to run it.

EricDArneson 2026-02-27 01:35

That advertisement seems kinda desperate. I pay when I need it not because it’s convenient for Tesla. Also if I add up the coffee I have at both home and work it’s about $.66 a day.

polo61965 2026-02-27 01:36

Joke's on you, that's already the case.

FromdaD 2026-02-27 01:39

I literally just read that email. Not only do I not drink/buy coffee everyday. I don’t even spend money everyday. It cost you even if you don’t use it so this was a bad comparison. I’ve had FSD for free for months but I’ve haven’t been using it much in this harsh Michigan Winter we’re having and I don’t see myself adding that much of an expense when my free trial is over. Cut the price in half and I might consider it.

Personal_Dare_5884 2026-02-27 01:45

You used to be able to set the maximum speed in FSD, like a traditional cruise control. Now you just pick from some speed profiles and hope it doesn't land you a ticket šŸ˜…

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:02

Even in AUD thats pushing it for me. It can't cost more than my phone plan whuch is half that.

But that would be u fair to all the people who paid $10k /s

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:05

I'd even settle for 16 hours. Ie a waking day. Mostly to avoid a weird overlap. Use it at 8am one morning and 7:50am the next morning followed by a warning about payment 10 min later.

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:05

"I'm allergic to coffee, so its free for me right?"

Head-Soil-5101 2026-02-27 02:06

I am very frustrated with the horribly inconsistent speed the car drives in FSD. It cannot be that hard to program. I am also getting frustrated with the car getting onto freeway or pulling out onto a busy road and poking along slowly speeding up to the speed limit. Especially when the on ramp is limited in length.

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:09

Yeah I'd prefer the machine I paid for once outright. I got a very expensive machine for its quality but its worth it for good coffee I was promised and to avoid ongoing costs if I use it or not. (This is a metaphor for FSD)

onlytony441 2026-02-27 02:09

I decided to buy FSD for a month. I enjoy it but I don’t use it literally all the time. I went ahead and unsubscribed today since I will have it into mid-March. They asked why I unsubscribe, I said too expensive. I’m just not ever going to consistently subscribe until they drop the monthly to at least half of the current price.

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:10

Its for Elons pay package.

AdditionalLead7265 2026-02-27 02:10

I demo drove a X Plaid the other day for fun and had a little tear in my eye when I saw max speed adjustment for FSD

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:11

Yeah at that I could maybe justify it. Send it all day running erends. Oh my friend needs to get to the shops. I'll send my car cos I'm at work.

Penny__Packer 2026-02-27 02:11

What speed profile do you use? If I’m on standard or less, it makes almost no unnecessary lane changes

Sad_Plum6169 2026-02-27 02:11

I have too many subscriptions already, I can drive myself, thank you.

sparkyblaster 2026-02-27 02:11

Weary-Feedback8582 2026-02-27 02:17

f ā€œfull self drivingā€. now added the word supervised. i bought fsd w my 2020 S performance and its got hw3. phantom braking, will run into the curb, only dumb summon that will engage the garage door halfway out, like what the f elon! i did not get full self driving and the car never will be. so owning it or renting it is so stupid.

philharlow 2026-02-27 02:17

It was still on v13??

Sad_Plum6169 2026-02-27 02:17

Strong disagree. Every time you need to switch lanes autopilot disengages triggering the regenerative breaking which is super annoying. During lane merges, autopilot swerves to stay ā€œin the middleā€ of the two lane merges which is unsafe and uncomfortable. FSD is much smarter about it. The only thing it’s missing is manual speed limits - I am shocked Tesla removed those. Even ā€œstandardā€ fsd speed 7mph over the limit and doesn’t even recognize construction zones half the time and doesn’t respect the reduced speed limit so it can go a solid 25-30mph over posted limit which is wild to me

jroman-1987 2026-02-27 02:17

I have a ā€˜23 model 3 and can adjust max speed in FSD with the right scroll on the wheel.

kghyr8 2026-02-27 02:19

What hardware are you on? For those of us on V12 there are some annoyances. Overall I think it’s great, but I prefer autopilot on long highway drives because I can relax more and don’t have to police the unnecessary lane changes.

AdditionalLead7265 2026-02-27 02:21

Yup! It had less than 50 miles on it. It was on v13.2.9 I figured it out in the first few seconds when it nagged me hardcore for my phone being in my hand for a second lol. The SA said they stay on that version for 10 days, after that it'll get updated to the newest version

Opposite_Extreme_667 2026-02-27 02:23

Wow that should be something under your control lol. If it’s supervised let me supervise it haha

kghyr8 2026-02-27 02:24

Gotta have those sunnies. Without them FSD is constantly nagging. With autopilot I can block the camera all together.

tl_spruce 2026-02-27 02:25

Itdoesmattertome8 2026-02-27 02:26

AJHenderson 2026-02-27 02:27

NCpoorStudent 2026-02-27 02:28

On a Tesla based on your indicator?

Hardstyle_X 2026-02-27 02:31

If it was $50 a month I would consider it but $100 is asking too much. & btw idk anyone who buys coffee every day for $3. I get my coffee for the big big price of $0 (FREE!) at work

kghyr8 2026-02-27 02:31

Totally agree with you on those points. FSD is so much smarter on merging lanes, and it doesn’t slam in the brakes when a car crosses your path 200 feet away like autopilot does. But on my software if the I have it set two pulls for autopilot I can take the wheel and change lanes without breaking the cruise control. I actually still have the speed limits due to old software. But the lane changes can be really annoying, and there’s no way to turn them off.

Noodle69Eater 2026-02-27 02:33

Which I believe you also do have to subscribe to

jaxon_15 2026-02-27 02:34

I'm looking forward to the future where I can send my car to pick up my kids from school or practice or drive them to where they want to go without me needing to do it all the time, drive me home from a long day of work where I can just unwind in the backseat without the stress of driving home in traffic, drive me long road trips while I just take a nap similar to a long flight or watch a movie, have the option of using it as my own robotaxi to make money if I want. It can even be our designated driver when we've had one too many drinks. All these and I'm sure many more for others would make the $99 worth it but right now it does none of these things so prefer to drive it myself w

dm18 2026-02-27 02:35

true, but if you can't afford the car. Your going to still be manully driving. Even if you have the car, if you don't have 1.2k to spare, your still not going to be able to afford it. meanwhile I can get a 1k box that works with most cards that were made in the last decade, and doesn't require a subscription.

gre-0021 2026-02-27 02:36

Lowkey a genius idea, if I could rent it day to day for $3 I’d definitely use it a few times a month. Maybe they could even slide you a deal to rent it for the whole week.

Elegant-Bed-4807 2026-02-27 02:36

This comment section is hilarious

gre-0021 2026-02-27 02:37

I’d even heavily consider it at $75 a month, $100 just feels like way too much when my insurance is $180.

wtf1970 2026-02-27 02:37

Then let me buy it for $3 a day if I feel like it using it that day.

resuspadawan 2026-02-27 02:38

I’m sure if they only charged $20 a month, most Tesla owners would pay for it - and the company would profit more than it does currently through FSD subscriptions and sales

ajnails 2026-02-27 02:39

$49 is an instant buy for me. $99- I slightly consider it but pass. If it was $119- wouldn’t even cross my mind.

Mazindaman 2026-02-27 02:40

$20 a month is not happening. $50 maybe

Dr_Roidberg 2026-02-27 02:40

Breezgoat 2026-02-27 02:41

UpperFerret 2026-02-27 02:43

kendrickplace 2026-02-27 02:48

whachamacallme 2026-02-27 02:49

Id pay that to parallel park. Lol.

Tradetheday2093 2026-02-27 02:49

Why we talking about affordability? It’s a luxury to have FSD, even a Tesla. As I alluded to, specifically those who drive a lot or for their business. If the person can’t afford it, the question is if the person can afford a Tesla? Or is the person stretching to obtain a premium vehicle? If the person doesn’t like FSD pricing then it just doesn’t bring enough value.

just_reload_it 2026-02-27 02:50

Yes, stock openpilot requires a nudge on the wheel and the indicator IIRC, but forks like sunnypilot can be configured to change lanes immediately or after a set delay after putting on the indicator.

I’ll never pay subscription for anything. All they do is continually increase the cost. Pay cash up front in full for everything is the only way to go.

> Offering it for just a day or even a week seams like more of a pain to administer for Tesla. It would be entirely automated, what administration is needed?

electricshadow 2026-02-27 03:12

A lot less people subscribe to FSD than you were anticipating, Tesla? Fucking womp womp for you, I guess. $100 a month is ridiculous, especially if you have HW3.

LieutenantButthole 2026-02-27 03:15

Sold

Firm-Switch36 2026-02-27 03:18

I subscribed August 15 and have used it every day since. it has eyes in the back of its head as well as both sides. It never blinks. It doesn’t get tired. It doesn’t get distracted. It has instant reflexes compared to my two second perception reaction time of an old man. Soon I will let someone else own9 the car and I will just let it drive me .

AP_in_Indy 2026-02-27 03:22

This is already the case. You're purchasing a license to use FSD, essentially, and in exchange they use the funds to continuously train it.

DarthGlazer 2026-02-27 03:25

They removed the ability to fix it's speed when on the highway and it misreads. Also they removed the ability to 'stay out of the left lane' option. It's gotten worse to the point the highway driving today was dangerous. It kept slamming the breaks because it was wrong about the speed limits. I did it this month because we had a long drive and we just ended up not using it because it was dangerous. Idk what changed, I had it like half a year ago with the above options and it was fine. They're making their product worse

silentbutdead1y 2026-02-27 03:26

Yeah this should be an option. I don’t drive enough to make it worth it to pay $100, but paying per day/mile/minute/whatever that I actually use FSD would make sense for me.

philharlow 2026-02-27 03:26

They removed the max speed control in FSD v14. You must be on v13

BiglyAmerican 2026-02-27 03:27

I love my FSD. Use it well over 95% of the time. It’s brilliant. Well worth the monthly.

philharlow 2026-02-27 03:28

Definitely. Until Tesla will pay my ticket, I should have control over the speed. They already acknowledge you need some control (speed profiles) so it’s a painfully arbitrary choice to remove max speed, and makes FSD much less usable for me.

jroman-1987 2026-02-27 03:28

No. I’m a hw3 car so v12. But that makes sense if you have v14. Personally I wish it would stay at 85 and FSD on the highway it like to slow down to 79-80 and I have to remind it that it’s in a ā€œhurryā€ mode

aomelko 2026-02-27 03:29

Everybody wants my daily coffee. Wikipedia, netflix, spotify, ronald mcdonald charity, sounds like i need a daily bucket of coffee

philharlow 2026-02-27 03:30

The obvious solution, imo, is to break apart speed profiles into a few settings like lane change freq, max speed, lane preference, following distance, etc. They’d get valuable training data from it too 😢

philharlow 2026-02-27 03:32

lol yea I’m sure there are a lot of things I’ve gotten used to be being much better in v14, but gosh darn would I pay extra to get max speed back

silentbutdead1y 2026-02-27 03:32

The problem isn’t the lack of $99, it’s that FSD doesn’t provide $99 of value to me.

Pilot_Big 2026-02-27 03:34

yes, I nominate him/her/they to run Tesla!

philharlow 2026-02-27 03:35

Ahh, I had typed ā€œv13 or priorā€ but deleted ha. V14 is ā€œbetterā€ about going faster, but now you either get 62-67 (it’s choice) on standard profile, or 72-78 on hurry profile, when you’re on open 60mph freeways. If I could pick hurry and max it at 70, I’d be golden. As-is it’s very frustrating

I’d permanently subscribe for $20. That’s the only price point at which I would permanently subscribe. I would also subscribe on a given day if I could do it for $3 as suggested here. I usually prefer driving myself though, maybe that makes me an outlier.

Well I have an Espresso maker so I might if I didn’t. But I’d still want my coffee so it’s irrelevant. Getting FSD doesn’t get me a free coffee too.

tl_spruce 2026-02-27 04:02

I use FP, and it changes lanes automatically when I use my indicator (even detecting cars). Like you said, can be programmed for a set amount of time after using indicator

sbc-dk 2026-02-27 04:07

That will be the price in Europe, according to leaks. 99 euros = 117 usd.

gdubrocks 2026-02-27 04:14

That's absolutely what is stopping me from getting it. If it was free I would use it. It absolutely isnt worth $99 per month, so somewhere in between there is a price that appeals to me.

spazzvogel 2026-02-27 04:19

While I use and enjoy it, I wouldn’t pay at this subscription price and understand why people are shying away.

jaywham 2026-02-27 04:19

The trend of people comparing subscription prices to "your daily cup of coffee" is so bonkers. Like maybe if you go to a coffee shop everyday sure, but my coffee costs like $0.20 a cup at home. Also nowadays I've seen it go as far as "for just the same price as your daily lunch sandwich!" Great so now we're offering for people to trade eating lunch for your shitty subscription.

cruisereg 2026-02-27 04:28

I work remotely, this would save me money. I’d be cool with a toll type system - deposit $50-100 and subtract $3 for each day I use FSD. Grab another $50-100 when that balance is depleted.

kadhtobi 2026-02-27 04:32

I don't even need unsupervised, it's fine the way it is now, just tesla should take full responsibility while fsd is engaged in case of an accident and I'm in

thunderslugging 2026-02-27 04:41

dontmatterdontcare 2026-02-27 04:52

Funny enough they’d probably make a killing if they offered 24 hour timed purchases. They could probably get away with charging $5 or $10 (or even more) and people would buy it out the wazoo.

angcritic 2026-02-27 05:32

The last free stint for me showed FSD is significantly improved for me and my wife. We share the car and it got a lot of local and highway use. Having said that, it's not a necessity for typical local driving at that price. I like that there is a monthly cancellable price. I just bought 1 month knowing 2 long drives were coming. It does allow the drive to be more chill, but I wouldn't pay recurring at $99. It's nice to have, that's it.

Expert_Mission2959 2026-02-27 05:34

Should be weekly rates..forget the monthly. I will go for $9.99-14.99 for 1 week. Only sign up whenever I need it the most or when I have to go on long trips. Monthly is useless coz most people don't drive all the time unless you are an uber-gig employee.

newreconstruction 2026-02-27 05:38

Stop with the daily coffee argument. If I subscribed every time I hear it, I would pay for 100 ā€œcoffeeā€ a day. Apart from that FSD could be worth it, if it ever comes to europe, as I drive a lot.

theAerialDroneGuy 2026-02-27 05:40

They should come out with a $3 per day subscription price!

Dave_Marsh 2026-02-27 05:40

Remember, Elon is focusing on getting his $1T bonus. That means maximizing Tesla cash flow to meet the terms of his new payment contract. Don’t expect any bargain rates.

Zennivolt 2026-02-27 08:34

That’s Rivian’s planned pricing for their future Autonomy system.

fleck57 2026-02-27 09:27

Anyone know when this is coming to other countries?

Mean-Dinner-8780 2026-02-27 09:38

In the UK, I can still buy it outright for £3,400 (\~$4500). **But** it doesn't actually work because our regulators don't allow it so it would be pointless. But if I buy FSD in the UK and then take the car somewhere else, it starts working. There has to be a loophole here, like getting Turkish YouTube Premium via a VPN.

chodtoo 2026-02-27 09:51

Maybe it should be pay by mileage? Lol

importantshare 2026-02-27 10:02

It would be more, prob 10-18ish

be_nice_2_ewe 2026-02-27 10:23

3x31 is $93

formhault 2026-02-27 10:48

FSD (Supervised)**.... So... Not FULL self driving? 😁

trifster 2026-02-27 10:54

We need the statistics of any/all ADAS use in the US. My theory has long been so few even use dynamic cruise control let alone lane centering technology that the idea of FSD is the obstacle. US consumers can be a sucker for a technology package on the car when they buy it. We see this at stealerships all the time. 90% of all in stock cars have the options packages in the top 3 of 4/5 trim levels. But in the long run as someone who drives 25kmiles/year, $99 a month is so worth it.

Notasurionspuppet 2026-02-27 11:17

And it isn’t even like it’s only been a subscription, they just removed the purchase out right option. Then during that removed auto steer (a standard safety feature at this point) to encourage more fsd sales.

Read-the-read 2026-02-27 11:19

It’s really case to case dependent but if you think about it, its very fairly priced. 100$ to 3-7x your safety on roadways the only caveat being you might not like how it drives due to being safer. As someone who drive 50 miles to and from work it’s amazing, your are technically paying for your car to drive it self but what your actually paying for is the time you get back from driving, to be able to think, plan, or whatever else. It’s paying to get your time back not just for your car to drive itself.

bigchipero 2026-02-27 11:23

Fsd sucks do bad with the constant lane changes I didnt ask for!!!

nacari0 2026-02-27 11:33

I enjoy the stimulus from manual driving, besides the base autopilot and cruise control for longer trips is plenty enough

MisterDigitalGhost 2026-02-27 11:41

I don't understand the hate FSD receives. I personally use it everyday. The price is well worth it for me with a long commute.

LegalChicken4174 2026-02-27 11:45

Not me. I make my coffee at home. My co worker is from California and he buys his coffee every single god damn day

PlaneReflection 2026-02-27 11:54

Anything more than $0 is too much for a system without USS. My life and my family’s lives are worth more than the couple of hundred bucks Elon saved from removing these crucial safety equipment.

Old_Presentation_477 2026-02-27 11:59

I don’t drink coffee ha ha

zippy9002 2026-02-27 12:29

Why pay to not drive the best driving car in the world? They’d have to pay us not the other way around.

tibetsoul 2026-02-27 12:30

$99 a month sounds expensive… until you break it down šŸ˜‚ That’s $3.3 a day. About $0.13 per hour. And if you calculate it per minute… it’s basically free 😭At this point you’re not paying, you’re just dropping spare coins like in a video game hahaha.

Delta3Angle 2026-02-27 12:31

I prefer that. Renting depreciating assets is the way to go.

ululonoH 2026-02-27 12:36

$50 per month

Smartnership 2026-02-27 13:01

$3 a day budget chauffeur. v. $200 a day Human chauffeur. Fine, pay 60X more and you can sleep.

sherlocknoir 2026-02-27 13:09

Bought a 2026 MYP and it came FSD free for 2 months. I used it daily and still don’t think it’s worth $99. It’s phenomenal technology and it probably does work 99% of the time.. the problem is you still have to pay attention and just does on the highway I wouldn’t do. Maybe it’s camping in the left lane, or switching lanes 3-4x right before an exit, or just refusing to keep up with the flow of traffic which pisses everybody off behind you. Thankfully my car has AP.. and it’s just so much more relaxing to use. It stays in its lane. It does exactly the speed I set. And it still works very well in gridlock traffic or on long highway drives.. which is exactly when I find driving to be the most fatiguing. It’s also free. FSD would need to be $49/month.. maybe even $29/month for me to subscribe for what it currently does.

TxTransplant72 2026-02-27 13:32

As someone that only drives my M3 about 8000 miles a year, it hard to justify an annual cost of $1200. To me, it’s that simple. Plus, mine has HW3, so FSD in the city will not be stellar, so the value prop just isn’t there for a monthly subscription @ $99. @$30/month I’m interested.

nailsinch9 2026-02-27 13:41

Yes. This is the price point. No matter how hard they try to push the 99, 49 is it. Stubborn mules or just plain stupid.... What is better? 7 to 8 out of 10 signing up for 49, or 2 out of every 10 at 99?

HuffN_puffN 2026-02-27 13:45

And when exactly will EU-countrys get the offers of monthly pay? (I know the difference with FSD and such, but there is some functions I would like to try)

Hardstyle_X 2026-02-27 13:49

True true, I have no idea how some people spend $6-$10 a day at Starbucks for coffee. Maybe I'm just not making enough lmao

CybuhDasher 2026-02-27 14:26

They act like ppl aren’t financing and like the monthly payment on the finance isn’t expensive on those cars. Car payment + FSD makes it more like $23 a day

WhoopDareIs 2026-02-27 14:33

It should be free with car purchase.

Complex-Fall3317 2026-02-27 14:44

To be fair, you should pay as you go for FSD.

SegFaultAgain 2026-02-27 14:47

I got this email too… I have fully paid for FSD and am ineligible for the subscription… (I got it for $2K on a HW3 M3 and traded last year during transfer window to a new MY Juniper, so no I didn’t spend $8K)

digiblur 2026-02-27 14:50

And it making me take crazy loops around the city into neighborhoods because the map data is wonky.

Standard-Argument314 2026-02-27 14:55

You still are paid for the land in that case.

Ok-Improvement-3670 2026-02-27 15:05

[deleted] 2026-02-27 15:29

Full self drive is literally THE BEST thing about Tesla. No other EV even comes close. Over 90% of my driving is FSD. Love it and literally the main reason we have one

AdDangerous897 2026-02-27 15:35

I think they should have a day weekly or a monthly pass. More people will jump on board cause I don’t use full self driving at all unless I’m like long distance driving.

IM2MERS 2026-02-27 15:40

$20

Scott-55- 2026-02-27 15:55

$100 a month is way too much money. Ill pay $100 to own it forever. Lol

5Beans6 2026-02-27 16:06

This is definitely the most sensible solution if they want to keep the price. Rent to own is a win-win.

yolo-yoshi 2026-02-27 16:26

$3 each time for each use ??!!

Adrenallen 2026-02-27 16:31

It seems like mine gets one every two weeks or so.

BOOMxHEADSH0T 2026-02-27 16:35

Really, Tesla? Will it keep the roads safer for me and others? Wow. That's amazing. Sounds like a multi-billion dollar company should just provide the service then, especially since all the hardware is already there. You know, because it's what's best for everyone, apparently. You can afford it. Step up. Make it happen.

hollus2 2026-02-27 16:39

I’m not even signed up for premium connectivity so what makes them think I would sign up for FSD at 99 a month.

5Beans6 2026-02-27 16:42

As someone who also wants the price lower, I also don't agree with this. For them to develop and improve the feature, there are many costs that they incur to do so. Including internet bandwidth to transfer video data, data processing, AI model training, etc. Its not a cheap thing for them to make, it just costs too much for most people to justify paying for.

youcantguess1 2026-02-27 16:46

Odd, whenever i change lanes it keeps cruise control on, and just disables the autopilot. Though i dont have fsd at all.

ZappBrann 2026-02-27 16:56

I make coffee at home... it is far cheaper than $3 a day.

AmeriChino 2026-02-27 16:59

Elon should put the money where the mouth is - those with Tesla Insurance should get a $50 discount on the insurance premium each month with an active FSD subscription w/ at least 80% usage.. because FSD is safer than most human driving or whatever he claims. That'd essentially make it a $49 subscription

Howry 2026-02-27 16:59

Id pay $10 for a day. Would make 2-3 day road trips a lot cheaper then paying for the month.

matthew19 2026-02-27 17:03

With software that needs constant improvement, you want this. It would you prefer to be on FSD 1.0

matthew19 2026-02-27 17:04

I think this is the sweet spot in price. Especially since they’re not selling 100k cars anymore.

FoxMuldertheGrey 2026-02-27 17:09

lmao genious

GreatSince86 2026-02-27 17:13

Beginning_Pepper3630 2026-02-27 17:14

You're on HW4

originalxnuttah 2026-02-27 17:24

Until it learns to actively avoid potholes and roadkill, no thanks.

SteamedAlbanyHams 2026-02-27 17:28

I don’t subscribe because I’ve used it in the past and it simply isn’t good enough, it’s more effort to monitor the self driving than to just drive yourself. The only actually useful feature is autopilot on the highway, which surprise surprise, they removed from the base car features.

lotofry 2026-02-27 17:34

Every car sold where the customer isn’t using fsd is money left on the table. Just allow $10 per day and $40 per week or something like that to earn more. There is no overhead as the vehicles already have all they need. It’s just a failure to price it correctly. Personally I think $50/mo, $20/wk, $5/d, is what it should be priced at. You’ll definitely double monthly subscribers and then also start picking up a lot from weekly and daily users. Also much easier to convert them to monthly users once they keep using it. Also access to a lot more data with more users.

Z00TSU1T 2026-02-27 17:35

I pay $99/mo for it. I also have a commute that has me driving rush hour traffic for about 2 hours every day. It's well worth it for me and I trust FSD to keep me safe. I love it.

MediaNeat2069 2026-02-27 17:38

lol what I meant is you can’t call it a chauffeur until it’s fully autonomous

Smartnership 2026-02-27 17:39

I did though. I’m ungovernable.

Dry_Jellyfish641 2026-02-27 17:47

How about $49 a month ?

1nolefan 2026-02-27 19:12

Really? For a 6 hour road trip, i would rather FSD drive

maniakkpugs 2026-02-27 19:23

Not in Iceland 🤣 it's a one lane, turns all over I rather just dictate. But in the US or mainland Europe..yes But not sure i would have an EV if I lived in either places.. But i haven't rented a EV yet on my travels. I always rent a fiat 500 🤣 specially when I'm in Spain ( like now )

1nolefan 2026-02-27 19:27

Well I have driven on the entire ring road, and FSD would be awesome on the most stretches

Agreeable-Ranger508 2026-02-27 19:42

If they cut insurance by $99/mo , sure!

Psice 2026-02-27 19:46

I pay 20 cents for coffee because I make it at home, now lower the price of FSD to 6 dollars a month and I'll sign up for life

maniakkpugs 2026-02-27 19:47

I'll believe you I'm still not interested.. It's kinda cool though.

jspirits2020 2026-02-27 19:50

Samsung doesn't charge me for updates to my Galaxy phone. Other softwares don't charge me for updates. Why should we normalize this for cars? The manufacturer can factor future updates into the upfront costs. Otherwise, you're performing a bait and switch on the customer and relying on their emotional attachment to the product in the beginning to cause them to overlook future costs down the road. I hear what you're saying, I just don't like the model. Private property is a good thing, and when you make payments for everything, you can't own private party and it increases your dependency on other people, entities, or companies.

kkiran 2026-02-27 19:56

Tesla should cut a deal - lock people in with $999/year deal! $200 savings. Run this promo and feel the numbers.

AppropriatePlum1006 2026-02-27 20:34

But its less than 50!

I drive like once a week, thats like 21 dollar a ride, stupid expensive. šŸ˜‚

harryhov 2026-02-27 21:11

I had it for 2 months in my HW3 on two separate occasions. Driving surface streets was pretty nice as it really got me from point a to b with basically zero interventions. Freeway trips were a different story. It constantly switched lanes, even though I set it to the most chill settings, whenever it senses a faster lane. I was so obnoxious and embarrassed as it kept going back and forth into the same lanes. There was also that bug that makes green light and a protected left arrow indistinguishable. The bug is still there because the car chimes on green even though my protected left lane is still red.

Slammedtgs 2026-02-27 21:15

Alarming-Slip-6712 2026-02-27 21:21

If I had an Interstate travel day of 2-3 plus hours, I would pay for a day pass of $3. Otherwise, I don't need FSD at $99/month. It's just way too expensive!

Alarming-Slip-6712 2026-02-27 21:26

It still shocks me you can't set your cruise control to a set number in a Tesla, and that's a simple function we've had since the invention of cruise control. Why does Tesla not program this in?

Alarming-Slip-6712 2026-02-27 21:29

Yeah, paying $110/month on your car, outside of the car payment is crazy! FSD is great, but they are asking too much.

farmyohoho 2026-02-27 21:42

Dude, my daily coffee is 30 cents. 50 bucks for fsd, take it or leave it

CoachTechnology 2026-02-27 21:46

I might be swayed to buy a Tesla if the major failure rate wasn’t 1 in 5. Everything else is very intriguing, aside from having to trailer my relatively new vehicle 3 hours away.

Feisty_Cookie_2801 2026-02-27 22:45

I think FSD will eventually go down more, not many people can swing $99 + tax a month. If they lower it to $49 a month the subscriptions to FSD will moon. It used to me $199 a month remember and they had no option but to lower it.

CryptoNurse-EcC- 2026-02-28 01:37

100 years of driving experience from who? This thing makes some weird mistakes. Nav says turn right, it turns left. White paint smear on the highway and the thing dove across 2 lanes of traffic. Indecisive lane changes in the newer updates causing it to miss exits and charge stops. Over all I like FSD but it very much still feels like a beta.

CryptoNurse-EcC- 2026-02-28 01:41

At 49 a month I would probably subscribe yearly rather the. Just when taking a trip. I work from home so $99 for it to sit in the driveway most days does not Make sense

Ok-Top7505 2026-02-28 02:11

By that calculation, that's $5.10/mo. Per Tesla math, you can count me in!

ONE_GUY_ONE_JAR 2026-02-28 03:37

Yeah. When they gave out the free trial I was impressed and definitely believe it's as safe as a human driver. But it nags you so much. The lane assist cruise control barks at me if I look at my phone for two seconds to change a podcast. What else am I going to do if I have to focus on the road anyway. Whens the last time you've seen a passenger stare at the road intently the entire drive?

Delicious-Sandwich63 2026-02-28 04:27

It will be more then $100 a month once unsupervised is available, Elon has already said this.

Bbronson123 2026-02-28 05:05

I have a 2022 currently and plan on keeping it for 5-10 years. My goal is to buy a used refreshed Highland that someone already outright bought FSD. Sucks they got rid of basic autopilot imo. If they allowed for a daily buy at $3/day I’d start using FSD much more often currently.

whateveryouwant4321 2026-02-28 05:14

it would be much easier to have 10 million subscriptions this way too. they'd be a trillionaire!

Ghost__of__kyiv 2026-02-28 06:27

Forcing me to pay for something I dont need (full self driving) by taking away (lane keeping) something I need is diabolical!

I'm hoping it is good enough to recommend by HW6, but we will see.

Additional-Zone-355 2026-02-28 13:00

Wow I can afford a Tesla. But I can’t afford $99 a month for something amazing! Clowns!!

pkelly517 2026-02-28 13:22

$19.99 for a package of 10 auto-park. * Auto-refill when total remaining drops below 10

lelant_s 2026-02-28 13:56

I love my Model 3 and I love autopilot. But the cost of FSD is the reason I don't sign up. I'd happily pay a one-time fee of around $2500, I'd even seriously think about at $25 or maybe $50 a month. But I'm not paying $100.

Dell4ever 2026-02-28 16:47

RIGHT! Like I didn't buy this car for it to drive itself. It's a nice feature though.

Dell4ever 2026-02-28 16:48

For traffic, Autopilot is good enough, for me.

Sci_Fi_Psycho 2026-02-28 17:11

The cost point of what I'd like the taxi to be. $3 for a day chauffeur in my own car is the move, because I'm damn sure not interested in sending my car to a fleet, As if that was ever going to happen.

-JamesBond 2026-02-28 17:27

The problem here is this is the CHEAPEST it'll ever be again at $99 a month and $3 a day. It's only price increases from here.

EyeshineStudios 2026-02-28 19:22

On whatever value they assign to it regardless of what you believe it’s worth, yes

5Beans6 2026-02-28 20:09

Yes. My Tesla is within my budget. Another $99 for a single feature is not.

swampchicken2000 2026-02-28 20:16

This… absolutely

jwlee151 2026-02-28 21:23

How about selling at $5/day for people who doesn’t drive every single day?

Elegant-Aerie-1233 2026-02-28 21:46

For starters, I hate the maps. For whatever reason the map always takes me the longest way home when I’m at a grocery store I frequent. I thought it would learn my behavior but it hasn’t. It makes me wonder what other longer routes it’s taking me on. Next sometimes it wants to speed in school zones. It will be going just 3 mph over and then it comes to a school zone and decides it needs to go 10 over. I can’t figure that one out. Too many bugs for $99. If it were perfect, maybe.

NeedleworkerEven7331 2026-02-28 22:03

49.95 or less

NeedleworkerEven7331 2026-02-28 22:04

Blizz127 2026-02-28 22:05

I always have trouble understanding theee daily breakdowns. When I worked in sales at sears decades ago they kept trying to push the extended service plans. They’d say oh it’s only 2 dollars a day or something but then it’s 300 up front anyway. Never worked lol

NeedleworkerEven7331 2026-02-28 22:06

$39.95 a month

AreaManEatsTooMuch 2026-02-28 23:08

Ahh yes the ol' "costs less than a cup of coffee day" sales pitch.

yaemes 2026-02-28 23:15

I like my Tesla but what they have to understand is I'm not that serious about driving. I would never spend $99/mo and get the value out of it. Also if you analyze a group of 100 Tesla owners probably 1 would buy the $99 package but 20 would buy a $9.99 package. Math

GrandElectronic6850 2026-02-28 23:26

I’m surprised you had those problems . Did you adjust the FSD settings at all? Only while I used autopilot would it require me to pay full attention and put pressure on the steering wheel … did you try fixing the issues u were having by changing the FSD modes ? Sloth: The most conservative, operating below the speed limit with minimal, cautious lane changes, ideal for relaxed driving. Chill: Drives in slower lanes, makes fewer lane changes, and maintains a more relaxed pace. Standard: Balanced, everyday driving that matches traffic flow and makes routine lane changes. Hurry: More assertive, higher-speed driving with more frequent lane changes and a tendency to use the passing lane. Mad Max: The most aggressive, maximizing speed and, making very frequent lane changes.

markuspellus 2026-02-28 23:28

Its worth it for me. Though I do have a long commute for work. FSD makes rush hour traffic more tolerable.

Laughndragon 2026-02-28 23:37

They should reinstate the ability to purchase FSD outright.

VesperalWind 2026-02-28 23:41

The feature is already live. If the price was dropped to $20, the take-rate would jump to 60% instead of the current 10%. (numbers are just for the idea) Plus, it would accelerate the learning curve, especially with the complex and diverse road conditions in Europe.

DifficultMorning5 2026-02-28 23:50

On mine I can set the max speed using the right scroll wheel.You can’t?

TheLegendaryWizard 2026-02-28 23:56

HW3 is a 25 dollar/month value. HW4 is worth the 100 dollars/month to me, so I pay for it on my HW4 vehicle and not on my HW3 vehicle

It's literally free/standard with lidar for many Chinese automakers. We have an AITO M9 for when we are out there and it has 3+ lidars in it for less than 75k USD.

philharlow 2026-03-01 07:10

Correct. They removed it in v14 😢

FoleyCinema 2026-03-01 07:29

just say them

rob3342421 2026-03-01 10:17

Is it released yet?

FastRedPonyCar 2026-03-01 14:30

Exactly. That’s my number that will get me on board. I don’t do enough highway driving or late night driving (where I enjoyed it the most during my 30 day trial) to justify spending $100/month

jcoles97 2026-03-01 15:18

Why are you here if you don’t have one?

Dense_Emergency6081 2026-03-01 15:28

We have one…. Spouse likes the car but won’t use FSD when free. Take away lane keeping and she’s looking at another brand. Have an older relative same way. It’s a segment people don’t think about.

talkingglasses 2026-03-01 15:57

I won’t drive without it, even if the cost tripled I’d still pay.

National_Farm8699 2026-03-01 17:07

Tried it a while back with HW4 and was unimpressed. I cannot imagine paying for it until there are vast improvements.

ihateroomba 2026-03-01 20:04

I purchased FSD on the day before they took it to subscription only.

Counting-Tiles4567 2026-03-01 23:07

Laughs in HW3; no, you pay me. I didn't use it when free. It was really bad. Maybe a "drunk pass" but aside from that, gtfo

SirLlama123 2026-03-01 23:36

sounds good. I’ll pay $3 for every day i drive more then 30 minutes and would actually use it. That’s fine right? If it’s $3 a day make it $3 a day. Hell, make it $0.50 an hour of use. I’ll actually use it then.

You know how many times I’ve had to cut my daily coffee to make you companies happy?

Oseerabo 2026-03-02 00:56

Right! Or $21 for the week I need it.

wade_wilson44 2026-03-02 02:10

I drove on autopilot, on the freeway, where the nearest car was about 20 lengths ahead of me. I turned around for a maximum of 4 seconds to talk to my daughter and point to the screen on what the car was doing. Tesla beeped at me twice to pay attention. Now, it should do that, because it’s far safer. But I’m not going to pay 99$/month when I still have to watch every second.

jflbball 2026-03-02 03:23

Huh? How old are you? You could host a website for free in the 90's on a lot of places, including Tripod, Geocities, angelfire. Subdomains and domains were even free if you allowed a popup. You get what you pay for, and tech requires a lot of work. It's been that way and will continue to be.

Hot-Reveal9579 2026-03-02 03:55

No thanks. I’ll wait for another free trial

ichoA1 2026-03-02 04:16

So let me pay by day than month then

mtch43 2026-03-02 04:47

But how much is that in avocado toasts?

Aaroon08 2026-03-02 04:58

The price is 100% the reason I don't have full self driving. That and yet another subscription for something I already own just feels icky

VirtualPercentage737 2026-03-02 13:07

It is the best $100 I spend every month.

MamaStiflera2020 2026-03-02 19:24

We bought self drive for a long across the country drive. While looking at navigation map we got 2 or 3 remaining strikes and self drive got suspended for a week, which totally defeated our purspose. When we called the Tesla, the operator said "well, you still can drive it manually " . So yeah, i rather have my coffee.

Ill-Rutabaga5125 2026-03-03 02:41

I pay $99 but only deduct $3 when I use auto pilot. Sign me up.

314159265389 2026-03-04 14:44

Damn that is a great idea...

PheenixMoonglider 2026-03-04 15:07

This!! They need to bring back max speed. The profiles are inconsistent especially between updates. Hurry will go 18+ over the speed limit on the expressway (definite ticket), while Standard goes 7 over. Meanwhile traffic is typically a consistent 10-15 over which is where I’d like to be. And if the speed limit detected is wrong, you’re really screwed. I end up constantly switching between profiles or constantly disengaging. This is the main reason I won’t be paying after my trial.

AJHenderson 2026-03-04 15:17

I have a local road that chill does 17 over in a 55 fairly regularly because FSD is so convinced the speed limit should be 70 that it ignores the 55mph map and signs. Sloth does force it to 55, but given the normal speed of traffic is 65, going 72 is preferable to 55, even if it's in ticket territory.
