FSD price increase - AGAIN!

[Soul Surfer]

Heyo,
I just read that the news about another propose increase on the FSD to $15k. What gives? It's like a 50% increase in less than a year if this goes through. I get that the early adopters are chuckling, but with the non-transferable reality of this feature, it just makes getting a newer vehicle, that much more expensive.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not a FSD person, but I feel for those who are considering it, while on the cusp of either new user or upgrading their cars. And for the record, I am not trying to incite negativity, other than the pricing.

Tesla to raise price of Full Self-Driving to $15,000

Tesla's Full Self-Driving software's price is increasing to $15,000 after version 10.69.2 is released

15k for a level 2...

It sucks that it not stays with the person purchasing but with the car.

Said this from day 1, should follow the account holder until you leave Tesla. Worst set up ever. Compels you to only your Tesla without being able to upgrade/trade up etc.

And yes, not a FSD fan, I actually like driving, Basic Auto is good enough for highway---better version of cruise control

Tesla has still not delivered the FSD I paid $8,000 for. To date I have not found the “Navigate on Autopilot” feature in my FSD all the useful and it is definitely not worth $8,000.

Standard FOMO pricing. Get it while it’s cheaper, since the price is going up soon.

And yet, STILL no subscription in Canada...

 

[mrexcuse]

I am all for the subscription for this beta test fee. But can’t bring myself to pay for it since it doesn’t deliver. If It gets to the point where I can put a destination in and sleep plus not worry about insurance ramifications then I’d consider it again.

Until I can nap and the car takes me home, and it's Teslas liability if it crashes, I'm not even considering. And I think we are 5 if not 10 years away from this.

$15K, LOL.

You will NEVER get that. It may drive you home, but you will still be on the hook for anything that goes wrong.

That is why they (Tesla), have an ironclad agreement, abdicating them of any and all responsibilities in the event of the worst happening. They ensure to put clauses addressing the driver’s need to remain attentive and engaged. So you can forget about playing games, watching movies or reading the paper, just before you crash into that police car on the side of the highway.

It’ll eventually happen. Just not with this FSD thing. Likely in a car as a service product

Weird that EAP also went up in price. Nothing has changed with those functions in a long time.

I can buy a whole separate car now for the FSD price.

 

[ATPMSD]

I really think Tesla does not want anybody to “purchase” EAP or FSD anymore, what they want is for you to subscribe. This is the same model the big software companies have been using for over a decade. It is better to have a revenue stream, and the ability to raise prices, then to receive a one-time payment for a perpetual license.

I keep seeing this sentiment shared but right now the only place you can subscribe is in the US. The price for EAP and FSD increased in Canada whereas only FSD increased in the US.

Hard to make sense of the decision rationale.

 

[Malaromane]

I *was* saving up to add EAP to my Model 3 but with this new pricing, Tesla can go f#@% themselves.

There's no way that FSD is worth $20K even if you could get it (since not everyone gets into the beta). And even EAP's value is questionable at the new price point.

Same here, prefer driving the car!

It really undermines Elon’s justification for raising the price of FSD. As you said, EAP isn’t getting new features or functionality so the value isn’t changing. It’s software so presumably supply chain constraints have no impact. The only reason seems to be pure margin.
