On January 8th, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced on social media that the price of Tesla FSD will increase to $12,000, but only in the United States market.
Currently, Tesla FSD has two purchasing options: one-time payment and monthly subscription. The one-time payment price in the current U.S. market is $10,000, while the subscription price is $99/month for vehicles with Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) activated and $199/month for vehicles without EAP. Musk did not disclose plans to increase the subscription version’s price.
Musk stated that FSD Beta 10.9 will be ready within a week, and the more advanced Beta 11 will be released next month.
Since its launch, the US version of FSD has gone through multiple price hikes, with $12,000 being double the original price of $6,000. As the functionality of the US version of FSD continuously improves, it is expected that Tesla will launch more updates for its domestic version of FSD, and prices are likely to align with those in the US.
The domestic version of FSD has only increased in price once, from the initial RMB 56,000 to the current RMB 64,000, due to the slow updates in functionality. According to previous reports by Tesla, only 2% of Tesla owners in China purchased FSD in 2020.
