Tesla no longer offers Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Europe as a one-time purchase and instead requires a monthly subscription fee for features such as Autosteer. The hands-free driving assistance package is approved for use in only two European countries, while customers in other countries must rely on a subscription that does not include the full set of promised capabilities. Previously, buyers could pay a lifetime fee for Full Self-Driving Capability or Enhanced Autopilot, including highway hands-free navigation, automatic lane changes, automatic overtaking, and smartphone summon. Basic Autopilot remains free. Tesla has regulatory approval for FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands and Lithuania, and the UK site indicates it is not yet available and depends on development and regulatory approval.
"Tesla is no longer selling its so-called Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature in Europe. The company switched to a subscription model today. The hands-free driving assistance system is approved in two European countries. Tesla is no longer selling its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assistance system as a one-time purchase in Europe. Starting today, European Tesla buyers will have to pay a monthly subscription fee if they want to use features like Autosteer."
"Previously, customers could pay a one-time fee of 7,500 or 6,800 if they wanted to buy the potential for fully independent driving or Full Self-Driving Capability. Now, Tesla is asking for 99 or 99 per month, and has removed the option to pay a smaller fee that offered access to Enhanced Autopilot alone. Until yesterday, European buyers could spend 3,800 or 3,400 to gain lifetime access to Enhanced Autopilot."
"Enhanced Autopilot offered driver-supervised hands-free navigation on the highway, automatic lane changes, automatic overtaking, and the ability to summon the vehicle from the smartphone app without anyone sitting inside. Basic Autopilot, which enables the car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians within its lane, was free before and remains free."
"So far, Tesla has gained regulatory approval for its FSD (Supervised) feature in the Netherlands and Lithuania, leaving customers in all other European countries stuck with a subscription that doesn't offer everything that's written on the box. On its United Kingdom website, the company says that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is not yet available but may be in the future. Its availability depends on development and regulatory approval."
