Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is subscription only in the US as of 2026: $99 per month, or $49 per month for owners who previously bought Enhanced Autopilot. Both prices are reported on Tesla's own pricing and by Tesla-focused press.

Tesla discontinued the $8,000 one-time purchase on February 14, 2026. Owners who bought FSD outright keep it, but new buyers can no longer purchase it; the subscription is the only entry point. Before that, the one-time price had been cut from $12,000 to $8,000 in April 2024.

The $9.99 monthly charge that appears on many Tesla bills is for Premium Connectivity (live traffic, satellite view, streaming, music), not for FSD. Premium Connectivity is free for the first 8 years on new Teslas, then costs $9.99/month, and it is a common source of confusion because it appears alongside any FSD subscription charge.

Musk said in January 2026 that the $99/month price is a discounted rate for today's capabilities and will rise as the system's autonomy improves. FSD does not transfer to a new owner when you sell your Tesla; the seller keeps it on their account for their next vehicle.

  • $99 per month, subscription only (US, new owners).

    As of February 14, 2026, Tesla discontinued the one-time FSD purchase. New owners can access Full Self-Driving (Supervised) only through the $99 per month subscription in the United States. Owners who had already bought FSD outright keep the software on their account; the change removes the purchase option for new buyers, not existing licenses.

  • $8,000 one-time purchase (former option, discontinued Feb 2026).

    Until February 14, 2026, Tesla sold FSD (Supervised) as a one-time purchase for $8,000 in the United States, a price set by the April 2024 reduction from $12,000. That option is no longer offered to new buyers. Owners who bought it keep the software for the life of the account, subject to Tesla's terms. When it existed, the $8,000 buy versus $99/month subscribe break-even was roughly 6.7 years.

  • $49 per month for owners with Enhanced Autopilot (EAP).

    In late January 2026, Tesla cut the FSD (Supervised) subscription to $49 per month, half the standard $99 rate, for owners who had previously bought the Enhanced Autopilot package. The discount is live in the United States and Canada. It reflects that EAP owners already paid for a middle tier of features.

Common questions

Can you still buy Tesla FSD outright?
No. Tesla discontinued the one-time FSD purchase on February 14, 2026. New owners can only access Full Self-Driving (Supervised) through the subscription: $99 per month, or $49 per month for owners who previously bought Enhanced Autopilot. Owners who had already bought FSD outright keep it on their account. The pricing is attributed to Tesla.
How much is the Tesla FSD subscription?
The FSD (Supervised) subscription is $99 per month in the United States. Owners who previously purchased Enhanced Autopilot pay a reduced $49 per month, half the standard rate, in the US and Canada. Whether it is worth it depends on how often you use the features. FSD (Supervised) adds urban driving, traffic-light recognition, and more complex maneuvers on top of basic Autopilot, and the driver must supervise at all times. DEPLOY does not make buying recommendations.
Is FSD free for Tesla now?
No. FSD (Supervised) is not free. It is subscription only: $99 per month, or $49 per month for owners with Enhanced Autopilot. Tesla has offered temporary FSD trials (typically 30 days) to owners of compatible vehicles, but these are promotional periods, not a permanent free tier.
Why is Tesla charging me $9.99 a month?
The $9.99 monthly charge is for Premium Connectivity, not for FSD. Premium Connectivity includes live traffic visualization, satellite view, in-car streaming, and music. It is free for the first 8 years on new Teslas, then becomes a $9.99/month subscription. If you also subscribe to FSD ($99/month, or $49 with Enhanced Autopilot), you will see both charges on your Tesla account.
Will the Tesla FSD subscription get more expensive?
Possibly. On January 23, 2026, Musk said the $99/month price is a discounted rate for today's capabilities and will rise as the system's autonomy improves. That is a forward-looking claim attributed to Musk, not a scheduled price change. Separately, Tesla cut the former one-time price from $12,000 to $8,000 in April 2024 before discontinuing the purchase option in February 2026.
Does Tesla FSD transfer when you sell the car?
FSD is tied to the Tesla account that purchased it, not to the vehicle. It transfers with the account to the owner's next compatible Tesla. When you sell your Tesla, the FSD does not transfer to the buyer. This is per Tesla's terms of service.
How much did Tesla FSD cost as a one-time purchase?
The one-time purchase was $8,000 in the United States, set by an April 2024 reduction from $12,000. Tesla discontinued that option on February 14, 2026. When it existed, the $8,000 buy versus $99/month subscribe break-even was roughly 6.7 years. New buyers can no longer purchase FSD outright; the subscription is the only option.
