Tesla is increasing price of Full Self-Driving package to a whopping $10,000

Tesla indicates that it is about to increase the price of its Full Self-Driving package to a whopping $10,000 and yet, that’s a good deal according to Elon Musk.

 

The decision to pre-sell a “Full Self-Driving” package in its vehicles years before it planned on making the technology available through the software has been controversial, to say the least.

It’s a bold move from Tesla that has been criticized for many reasons.

Some say that it’s confusing customers in thinking that Tesla vehicles are currently capable of self-driving, which is not the case.

Others have also criticized Tesla for often changing the price of the package up and down, even though they haven’t delivered the features promised in the package.

Over the last year, CEO Elon Musk has made Tesla’s pricing strategy clearer when it comes to the “Full Self-Driving” package: Tesla is going to increase the price of the package as it introduces new features.

In July, the price of increased by $1,000 to $8,000.

Now CEO Elon Musk says that it will increase by an additional $2,000 on Monday:

 

Musk is linking the price increase to Tesla releasing the Full Self-Driving Beta update this week.

Earlier today, we reported a first look at the Full Self-Driving Beta update, which appears impressive so far, but it has only been released to a limited number of people.

While $10,000 might sound expensive for the software package, Musk warned that the price will keep increasing in the future:

The FSD price will continue to rise as the software gets closer to full self-driving capability with regulatory approval. To that point, the value of FSD is probably somewhere in excess of $100,000.

As more features are released toward the goal of Full Self-Driving, Tesla plans to incrementally increase the price of the package going forward.

Is it fair to pay 10 grand for a feature that is not fully approved by Transportation?

Naku aithe it's shameful ga undi. I don't have confidence that the software works as marketed and you still need to pay attention, and more importantly, we are beta testing this and they charge 8k for a beta.

No, you are still going to be in Jail if the software is at fault.
