What FSD subscription is

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is a monthly Tesla software plan at $99/mo US list (fetched 4 Sep 2026). You pay while it is on; pause or cancel in the app. New money cannot buy FSD outright — subscription is the open path.

Who can still buy or use the EAP rate

Legacy purchase: one-time buy ended 2026-02-14 at a final US list of $8,000. Licenses bought before that stay on eligible cars; you cannot newly purchase today.

EAP owner rate: Enhanced Autopilot owners pay $49/mo for FSD (Supervised) in US/Canada. Confirm the rate in the Tesla app for your account — the discount is account-level.

Referral: personal referral currently includes 3 months of Full Self-Driving for the buyer (toggle in the chooser). See /about/#referrals.

Questions

How much does Tesla FSD cost?

US list on 4 Sep 2026: Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is a monthly subscription at $99/mo. Enhanced Autopilot owners pay $49/mo. The one-time purchase option ended 2026-02-14 at a final list of $8,000. The chooser above turns monthly × months into one all-in number.

Can I still buy FSD outright instead of subscribing?

No for new money. Tesla ended the one-time purchase on 2026-02-14. If you bought before that date, the license is grandfathered on eligible cars. Everyone else uses the $99/mo subscription (or $49/mo with Enhanced Autopilot).

FSD subscription vs purchase: which is cheaper?

Against the old $8,000 purchase, a $99/mo subscription breaks even around 80 months (~6.7 years) if you never cancel. Most owners keep a car shorter than that, so the monthly plan usually wins on cash — and you can pause between road trips.

How much is FSD per month with Enhanced Autopilot?

US list on 4 Sep 2026: $49/mo for owners who previously bought Enhanced Autopilot. Confirm the rate in the Tesla app for your account.

Does a Tesla referral include free FSD?

Yes on the current personal referral: the buyer gets 3 months of Full Self-Driving. Toggle that option in the chooser to see the all-in after the free months. Costs you nothing extra — see the disclosure on /about/#referrals.

Will the FSD subscription price go up?

Elon Musk has said the $99/mo supervised rate will rise as capabilities improve toward unsupervised driving. No new locked-in price or date is in this catalogue. Treat $99 as a floor.
