Interesting Move from Tesla: The Price of Autonomous Driving Subscription Dropped by Half!

TeslaThe monthly subscription price of ‘s autonomous driving software has been reduced by half. Tesla’s autonomous driving (supervised) subscription is now $99 per month, much less in real terms than the previous standard of $199.

Tesla introduced the $199 monthly upgrade fee in 2021, when the autonomous driving system was still in beta phase. Adding the autonomous driving feature for a Tesla costs about $12,000, so at the current rate it would take 10 years for the subscription to lose its value.

Tesla is doing its best to make its electric vehicles (and its stock) more attractive after a difficult financial quarter. For the first time since 2020, Tesla electric car shipments fell year over year and were significantly lower than the previous quarter.

Autonomous Driving Subscription is Now $99 Instead of $199

Tesla deliveries in the first months of 2024 are down 8% year-on-year and 20% compared to the last quarter of 2023. Analysts expected Tesla to ship 449,080 electric vehicles in the first quarter of 2024, but Tesla could only deliver 386,810 units. Despite all this discount, for example, Model Y prices increased by $ 1,000 at the beginning of this month.

Tesla has not yet shared shipment figures for Cybertruck, which started to be released late last year, but the company is now working on robotaxi.

Since not every country yet allows autonomous driving, it is currently unknown at what price and when this subscription will be available in our country, but the fact that its price has decreased is very important, especially considering the increasing exchange rates in our country.
