"According to Electrek, the company removed Basic Autopilot as a standard feature from new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in North America. That means in order to get Tesla's lane-keeping Autosteer feature, which was previously free when purchasing a new Tesla vehicle, customers will now have to fork over $99-a-month to subscribe to FSD. Tesla will still sell its vehicles with its Traffic-Aware Cruise Control feature, which sticks to a designated speed limit while maintaining a distance behind cars ahead, as standard."
"A judge ruled in December that Tesla had engaged in deceptive marketing by misleading customers about the capabilities of Autopilot. The California DMV, which brought the complaint, stayed the ruling for 60 days to allow Tesla time to comply by dropping the Autopilot brand name. Tesla made basic Autopilot standard on all new vehicles in April 2019, bundling it with the purchase price rather than as a separate add-on - while keeping the more advanced FSD as an optional upgrade."
Tesla removed Basic Autopilot as a standard feature from new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in North America. Customers must subscribe to the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system at $99 per month to obtain Autosteer lane-keeping capability. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control remains standard. Tesla shifted FSD sales from an optional one-time purchase to monthly or annual subscriptions. The change coincides with regulatory pressure in California after a judge found deceptive marketing regarding Autopilot, prompting a 60-day stay to allow compliance by dropping the Autopilot brand name. Basic Autopilot was first made standard in April 2019.
