Tesla stopped selling Full Self Driving as a one-time purchase on February 14, 2026. Now, most drivers can only get it through a monthly subscription. This change affects how Tesla owners access the advanced driver assistance features.
If you own a Tesla or think about buying one, you probably have questions about what comes next. This guide walks through the facts so you can make a clear choice.
What exactly happened with the Tesla one-time FSD purchase?
Tesla removed the option to pay $8,000 up front for Full Self-Driving in North America. The feature now runs only on subscription. Owners who already paid keep their access, but new buyers face different rules.
How much does an FSD subscription cost in 2026?
The monthly fee in the United States is $99. People who already have Enhanced Autopilot sometimes pay less. Prices may increase later as features expand.
Are rules different in the United States versus other countries?
In the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, the one-time option ended on February 14. Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea have the option to purchase until March 31. Europe and China remain in testing mode while approvals move forward.
