The author reports that the current Tesla FSD V14 software allows for automated navigation from locations like garages, parking lots, and Superchargers to a specified destination without manual input. The system manages the vehicle's movement and parking, requiring only supervision from the driver.
Tesla currently offers FSD as a subscription service priced at $99 per month. While the company reports an uptake rate of 75 percent for new customers, the author notes that users lose access to the feature if they discontinue the monthly payments.
The author suggests that Tesla could implement Automatic Collision Evasion as a standard feature for all vehicles, independent of the full automated driving package. Additionally, the author proposes making FSD the default setting for vehicles, requiring manual deactivation by the driver.
Current promotional offers for new Tesla buyers include three months of free FSD for Model 3 and Model Y purchases, consisting of one standard month and two months via a referral link. Cybertruck buyers receive a discount of $1000, while new Model 3 Premium or Performance buyers are eligible for one year of free Supercharging.
