"Tesla made a dramatic change to the Online Design Studio to show its plans for Full Self-Driving, a major part of the company's plans moving forward, as CEO Elon Musk has been extremely clear on the direction moving forward. With Tesla taking a stand and removing the ability to purchase Full Self-Driving outright next month, it is already taking steps to initiate that with owners and potential buyers."
"However, with Musk announcing that Tesla would soon remove the outright purchase option, it is clearer than ever that the Subscription plan is where the company is headed. The removal of the outright purchase option has been a polarizing topic among the Tesla community, especially considering that there are many people who are concerned about potential price increases or have been saving to purchase it for $8,000."
Tesla updated its Online Design Studio to present Full Self-Driving as available via Monthly Subscription, One-Time Purchase, or Add Later, emphasizing subscription as the future option. The company plans to remove the outright purchase option next month, steering buyers toward subscription pricing. The change has stirred controversy among owners and potential buyers, with concerns about future price increases and the loss of a one-time $8,000 purchase option. Subscription adoption could add roughly $100 per month to payments for some owners, and Tesla indicates price will rise as functionality improves under Musk's guidance.
