On February 15, Chinese tech outlet IT House recalled a January post by Elon Musk on the social platform X. At the time, the Tesla chief said that after February 14 the company would stop selling its Full Self-Driving (FSD) package as a one-time purchase and shift to a monthly subscription model.

Reporters checked Tesla’s official website and confirmed that the change has already taken effect in the U.S. market. As of today, FSD is offered exclusively as a subscription priced at $99 per month, with new users receiving a 30-day free trial. Previously, a lifetime FSD package cost $88,000.

There is another important detail for current owners. Tesla’s free FSD transfer program — which allows owners to move their purchased FSD package to another Tesla vehicle — will not run indefinitely. The company will officially end the program on March 31, 2026. Until that date, customers can transfer their previously purchased autonomous driving package to another Tesla at no additional cost.

Meanwhile, in China, IT House notes that an FSD subscription option had not yet appeared on Tesla’s website as of publication. Instead, the company continues to offer two driver-assistance packages: an Intelligent Assisted Driving system priced at the equivalent of about $8,900 and an Enhanced Assisted Driving system priced at roughly $4,400.
