For the second time in a year, Tesla is raising the price of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) option in its electric vehicles. Elon Musk tweeted last Saturday that the upfront cost of driver assistance software will increase to $15,000 starting September 5. However, the automaker will maintain the current price of $12,000 for orders placed before September 5, but will deliver these vehicles later.
After wide release of FSD Beta 10.69.2, the price of FSD will rise to $15k in North America on September 5th.
Current price will be honored for orders made before Sept 5th, but delivered later.

“Note that you can upgrade your existing car to FSD in 2 minutes through the Tesla app,” Musk added.
He did not specify whether Tesla would increase the cost of its FSD feature subscription plans. Depending on the current Autopilot capabilities in the owner’s vehicle, adding FSD software currently costs up to $199 per month.
Over the years, Tesla has continually raised the cost of its Full Self-Driving feature. When the company first started offering FSD as a separate option from Autopilot, the option cost $5,000 to set up the electric vehicle, or $7,000 after delivery.

At the beginning of 2022, the price of FSD rose from $10,000 to $12,000. Elon Musk announced back in July that Tesla would raise the price of FSD again. At the time, he said the $12,000 software was “ridiculously cheap” and that the price increase would mean the difference between a Tesla “worth a lot of money, or worth almost nothing.”
While releasing Q2 2022 financial results, Tesla also shared some data on the Full Self-Drivin feature. In particular, with the use of FSD Beta, electric vehicles have already covered more than 35 million miles (about 56.3 million km), and the pace is increasing.
