According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has updated its policy so that buyers in the U.S. can no longer purchase Full Self-Driving (FSD) outright when ordering a pre-owned vehicle directly from inventory. Instead, customers are now offered a $99 per month subscription or the opportunity to purchase FSD outright only after vehicle delivery, with the outright option available until February 14th (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This move highlights Tesla's increasing focus on recurring revenue through AI-powered subscription services, positioning its FSD as a central driver of future automotive AI business models.
