Tesla has diminished the worth of its Full Self-Driving Bundle by $1,000 for homeowners of the Enhanced Autopilot bundle.

The Full Self-Driving Bundle, also referred to as FSD, is Tesla’s bundle of superior driver-assist options that additionally consists of the promise of ultimately enabling full autonomous driving within the close to future with upcoming software program updates.

Not too long ago, Tesla has been making progress on the event of its full self-driving functionality with a beta release to a limited group of owners.

CEO Elon Musk has been clear that Tesla would maintain rising the worth of the FSD bundle because the automaker would launch extra capabilities to homeowners who’ve purchased it.

In July, the price increased by $1,000 to $8,000, and in October, after the restricted beta launch began rolling out, Tesla increased the price to a whopping $10,000.

Nonetheless, Tesla additionally used to promote lots of the options that at the moment are within the FSD bundle beneath the “Enhanced Autopilot bundle”.

Prior to now, the worth to improve from that bundle, which primarily provides the promise of future full-self-driving for now, has assorted.

In an in a single day replace to its pricing, Tesla has diminished the worth of the improve by $1,000:

On the time of writing, Tesla hasn’t communicated a purpose for the worth change.

We might contact the corporate concerning the change, however as we’ve beforehand reported, Tesla has disbanded its press communication team.

Electrek’s Take

I hope that Tesla will concern refunds to the EAP homeowners who paid an additional $1,000 for it contemplating how Tesla has been pushing the concept the worth will solely go up any more.

These individuals have a fairly good argument that the principle purpose they purchased the bundle, which has but to be totally delivered, is as a result of they thought the worth was going to extend.

Nonetheless, the pricing distinction between EAP and FSD has been fairly arduous to observe. The entire thing is fairly complicated.

Both method, I believe Tesla’s value improve to $10,000 based mostly solely on a beta launch to a restricted group of individuals is a bit untimely.

I’d like Tesla to make the brand new options extra broadly out there earlier than asking for that type of value.
