Tesla will discontinue the outright purchase option for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) package after February 14, 2026, making it available exclusively through a monthly subscription. CEO Elon Musk announced this change via X. The FSD package, currently priced at $8,000 for some models, offers driving assistance features. Tesla notes that FSD requires active driver supervision and its features are subject to regulatory approval, which varies by jurisdiction. Subscription pricing depends on the vehicle's existing Autopilot package.
