Hexbear's premier community for the discussion of and questions about cars, motorcycles, and other low occupancy transit. Share your thoughts, discuss cars under communism, and ask questions about maintenance.
Anti-car posting is not permited. Train good car bad and all, but it's not what this comm is for.
Isn't this the big selling point of the bazingamobiles?
"I was driving on the highway with spotty internet connection and it failed to send through my monthly payment so the autodriving switched off suddenly and my Tesla lurched off the road and into a ravine, I almost died and had to go to hospital. Still love the truck though!"
Burning to death in my $$ybertruKKK because my door subscription expired
Came here to post "MFW my monthly subscription runs out mid turn and now I'm hurtling off a cliff 
" but you beat me to it.
Does the "self driving" require a constant cell connection?
"Full* self*-drive*"
Fool self drive
moving to the Star Citizen model
(Extremely Legend of the Galactic Heroes voice) If only UlyssesT were here....
Lol didn't people pay a bunch of money for this
I read that its not even level 3 of 5 on autonomy. This shit will get people killed
Yeah it's still on 2 (unless there was some development I'm unaware of). How Tesla hasn't been sued over calling it "full self driving" when it just isn't is beyond me.
I think even ford or others are higher but they aren't marketing themselves as full self driving.
he should be murdered by the FTC for false advertising
STILL LOVE THE CAR! 
Something, something, nazi-car, something...
How long have 'actually' self-driving cars been 5-10 years away now? A car I can get in, plug an arbitrary destination, and go to sleep in? I'm still waiting on the widespread admission that executive thinking and reasoning (still exclusive to humans) is a necessary part of driving. Even self-driving taxis only operate on incredibly limited routes, require constant human intervention, and constant manually updated information, just to function normally.
(..and for how many centuries have trains been the solution to 'a car you don't need to drive'?) 
If you're still buying the Nazimobile then the problem is you.
roughly six years eight months at 99 per month to cost the same amount as the upfront one time purchase.
Conveniently allows Tesla to charge second hand purchasers their pound of flesh too. No mention of those who purchased it outright get the shaft or if it's just purchases after the cut off date, 2.14.26
Are people even keeping these cars longer than 6 years? I feel like rich people who can afford them change cars a lot.
I dunno, to be honest. Is fsd available on all types of teslas? Or is it just the fancier ones that haul stupid ass?
I see a lot of the cheaper Tesla a lot here but I'm not sure that the folks who drive one of those are changing as often. But they also may not have an extra 8k lying around to pay for it up front and now Tesla is losing money so now they can nickel and dime their lower income customers a little bit extra. People are hollering about subscription prevalence but it isn't slowing down the spread of subscription shit. This is just one more to a slowly getting used to subscriptions public.
Shocked Musk resisted the urge to use a 'funny number' for the price
He needed the extra $11 to have a chance to keep the shareholders happy
Somehow my post split into two posts, so adding this back in
article text
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday that the electric vehicle maker will stop selling its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software for a flat rate and instead make it only available as a monthly subscription.
“Tesla will stop selling FSD after Feb 14,” Musk said in an early morning post on his social media platform X. “FSD will only be available as a monthly subscription thereafter.”
Shares of the company fell more than 2% Wednesday.
FSD, which starts at $99 per month, is key to the future of the company as Musk tries to establish Tesla as a leader in autonomous mobility.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tesla launched a robotaxi service with limited availability in Austin, Texas, last year, and the company also offers ride-hailing in San Francisco, though with a driver behind the wheel at all times.
The company is way behind Alphabet’s Waymo in driverless service. In December, Waymo reached more than 450,000 weekly paid rides, according to an investor letter from Tiger Global seen by CNBC.
Waymo operates in Austin, the San Francisco area, Phoenix, Atlanta and Los Angeles and is targeting expansion to several more cities in 2026.
Tesla reported fourth-quarter delivery and production numbers at the beginning of January, wrapping the second-straight annual drop for the EV maker. Fourth-quarter deliveries of 418,227 were about 16% lower than a year ago, and production numbers were down 5.5% from a year earlier.
Tesla reports fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 28.
