Musk recently announced the adjustment of Tesla's full autopilot price through Twitter: "The Tesla FSD price rose to $12,000 (about 76,000 yuan) on January 17." This also means that Tesla will raise the price of the full autopilot kit by another $2,000 (about 12,000 yuan) in the near future to reach $12,000 (about 76,000 yuan).
The $2,000 price increase for the FSD kit marks Tesla's second price adjustment since October 2020 when it adjusts the purchase price of the feature, except that the last time he raised $2,000 (about 51,000 yuan) from the previous $8,000 (about 51,000 yuan) to reach the price of $10,000 (about 63,000 yuan), This time, on the basis of $10,000 (about 63,000 yuan), it will be raised by 2,000 US dollars (about 12,000 yuan) to 12,000 US dollars (about 76,000 yuan).
The reason for the previous price increase was because the Tesla FSD Beta was issued by the First Edition, and the program allowed some drivers with high enough safety scores to contribute to the development of semi-autonomous technology and enjoy certain benefits. Tesla's FSD kit is currently only rated Level 2, according to the Society of Automotive Engineers' standards: The Society of Automotive Engineers lists the capabilities of a Level 2 self-driving car as a person sitting in the driver's seat, and the vehicle can control steering and speed, but the driver needs to be vigilant.
The reason for the price increase is unclear, but Tesla FSD already has Autopilot Beta Navigation, Auto Lane Change, Autopark, Smart Summon, and Traffic and Stop SignControl Beta, as well as Autopilot Two features: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. The Tesla FSD is currently missing only one feature: automatic steering on city streets (although the feature has been in development for years).
Tesla is currently regularly releasing updates to the Fully Autonomous Driving Beta program with a frequency of approximately every two weeks, which contain various fixes to previous versions. In addition, we need to note that Tesla also has the option of a monthly subscription to FSD, which can enjoy fully automatic assisted driving for only $99 per month and can be cancelled at any time.
