Tesla Reduces FSD Subscription to $49/Month for Vehicles With Enhanced Autopilot

In a quiet update to the Tesla mobile app this weekend, the company lowered the subscription price of FSD (Supervised) to $49 per month for owners who have already purchased Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) (differences between Basic Autopilot, EAP, and FSD).

This is a 50% discount off the standard $99/month subscription rate for all other owners.

Who Qualifies

The new pricing applies only to owners who previously bought the Enhanced Autopilot package — a middle-tier option Tesla sold for years (typically for $6,000 USD), before discontinuing it in recent years.

EAP owners already have access to Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, and Autopark. Charging them the full $99/month for FSD meant they would effectively pay twice for features they already owned. The new flat $49/month rate recognizes their initial upfront investment and charges only for the difference between EAP and FSD (primarily city street driving).

Should You Just Buy FSD?

EAP owners can upgrade to FSD for $2,000 USD. That upgrade switches the entire Autopilot stack to FSD v14 and adds capabilities such as city driving and parking at the destination, etc.

Tesla plans to permanently remove the option to purchase FSD outright on February 14, 2026.

The $2,000 option is roughly equal to about 41 months (~3.5 years) of FSD at the new reduced pricing. If Tesla increases prices in the future, as Elon Musk has confirmed, the breakeven point will come sooner. Musk stated that as capabilities grow, so will the price. If you intend to keep your vehicle for more than 3.5 years, purchasing FSD up-front may be the better option.

The discounted rate is now live in both the United States and Canada. Owners can verify their eligibility by checking the "Upgrades" > "Software Upgrades" tab in the Tesla app.
