Elon Musk said Tesla will raise subscription prices for its Full Self-Driving software as it gets better, and it could cost more than $100. The Tesla CEO said in an early Friday X post, "I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD's capabilities improve." "The massive value jump is when you can be on your phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD)," he said.

After Sunday Robotics emerged from stealth mode last week, it revealed a team stocked with Tesla alums. At least 10 former Tesla employees work at the robotics startup, including several longtime employees who were involved in Tesla's humanoid robot and self-driving efforts, according to a LinkedIn analysis. Perry Jia, who worked on Tesla's Autopilot and Optimus programs for nearly six years, announced last week that he'd left the electric-car maker during the summer to work at the startup.
