CEO Elon Musk announced the news on Wednesday via X. “Tesla will stop selling FSD after February 14th. After that, FSD will only be available as a monthly subscription,” he tweeted.

This gives Tesla owners one month to decide whether to buy the FSD outright and keep it forever.

Tesla launches Model Y with seven seats in the US, but not what you want
The FSD package is currently an option for some Tesla vehicles; If you’re buying an all-wheel drive variant of the Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck, it’ll cost you an extra $8,000. With all variants of the Model S and Model Y, as well as other models including the CyberBeast version of the Cybertruck, it is included in the price.
Currently listed as Full Self-Driving (Supervised), FSD is a set of driving assistance features that will make your car able to “drive itself almost anywhere with minimal driver intervention,” according to Tesla. However, the company notes that “the features currently enabled require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous,” and that some features are “dependent on development and regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions.”
In other words, and despite Musk’s promise that FSD will turn your Tesla into a self-driving car, it hasn’t happened yet. The situation is even worse in Europe, where most FSD facilities are not available due to regulatory barriers, although the company recently began testing FSD in some European countries, including Germany.

Musk has long claimed that FSD will make your Tesla a money maker, as it will become fully autonomous and you will be able to carry other passengers with it when you are not using it. They also broke their own deadlines for this to happen several times in the past, leaving owners of older Tesla vehicles that don’t have the latest HW4 hardware in limbo – despite promises that their cars would be able to support fully autonomous driving.
