Title: Tesla nixing free FSD transfer deal with purchase option end as it may out multi-tier subscription price for HW3 and AI4 vehicles
Post by: Redaktion on January 14, 2026, 12:22:01
While the free Full Self-Driving (FSD) option transfer has become somewhat of a running promo for Tesla, it will be no more. Tesla could also introduce a multi-tier FSD subscription price model that differs for HW3 vehicles and those on unsupervised FSD.

I wonder if the robotaxis will actually be remote supervised, because these Teslas simply don't have the hardware to function independently. They don't have the hardware that all the other robot drivers have. It's glaring now that they've fallen so far behind the competition.

They have the hardware built into the car, unlike competitors which have contraptions all over the car to get it to drive on its own. Tesla vehicles can also drive independently on roads that aren't pre-mapped, unlike Waymo which sticks to predefined routes. The opposite of what you stated is true.
