"Tesla has updated its vehicle configurator in the U.S. to remove its full Autopilot suite from all new Model 3 and Model Y trims. When ordering a new vehicle, the final configuration no longer includes Autosteer, the integral part of the Autopilot package that performs lane centering. This move marks the latest push by Tesla to transform the way buyers access its driver-assistance features, departing from a fully-encompassing tech stack to a nudge towards a $99 per month Full Self-Driving subscription."
"Here's what it meant when Tesla removed Autosteer from the Standard trims of the Model 3 and Model Y: Autopilot includes Traffic Aware Cruise Control (the feature that controls acceleration and braking while responding to surrounding cars) and Autosteer (which helps the car automatically follow lane lines). TACC is still included, but Autosteer is not, which means that it's going to feel a lot like 2012-era Tesla, and steering your car completely on your own is so back, baby."
"Photo by: Tesla For those keeping track, removing Autosteer from Tesla's Autopilot package was a change that the automaker introduced when it made the "affordable" Standard trim available back in October. Model S and Model X currently have FSD bundled into the mandatory "luxe" package, while the cheapest trim of the Cybertruck only includes TACC. Here's where things get confusing."
Tesla removed Autosteer from new Model 3 and Model Y configurators, leaving only Traffic Aware Cruise Control at the final ordering step. Autosteer, which performs lane centering, no longer appears as an included option for Standard trims during the configurator process. CEO Elon Musk indicated Tesla will raise Full Self-Driving pricing as capabilities improve, and Tesla is promoting a $99-per-month FSD subscription. Model S and Model X retain FSD bundled in higher trim packages, while some Cybertruck trims include only TACC. The vehicle comparison matrix and the configurator display inconsistencies that create customer confusion.
