Tesla owners who want to retain access to features like Autosteer will now need to pay for the $99-per-month Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription, or fork out $8,000 before February 14.
Tesla has officially discontinued its Autopilot driver-assist feature in the US and Canada, pushing users toward a $99-per-month Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription for features that were previously included as standard on its vehicles.
As a result of the change, first spotted by Electrec, drivers will now lose free access to Autosteer, a feature that keeps the vehicle centered in its lane and helps it navigate curves. Not all of Autopilot’s features are disappearing for users without a subscription. Drivers will still be able to access features such as Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, which maintains the vehicle at a set speed and follows traffic at a safe distance. However, users who want to retain access to Autosteer will need to pay for a $99-per-month FSD subscription.
