Tesla Finalizes FSD Shift to Subscriptions: U.S. One‑Time Sales End Feb. 14, Australia/NZ by March 31
Existing buyers keep FSD access as eligibility concentrates on newer Hardware 4 cars.
Overview
- In the U.S., the option to buy Full Self‑Driving outright ends on Feb. 14, with subscriptions offered at a reported $99 per month.
- Australia and New Zealand will drop up‑front purchases after March 31, with subscription‑only access from April 1 priced at AU$149 per month (NZ$159 in New Zealand).
- Tesla Australia says customers who want to buy FSD up front must both order and take delivery by March 31, with the handling of orders delivered after that date still unclear.
- A promotion allowing free transfers of FSD or Enhanced Autopilot to a newly ordered vehicle ends after March 31, requiring order and delivery by that deadline.
- FSD (Supervised) currently requires Hardware 4 in Australia, leaving many HW2/HW3 vehicles without local-road access pending a future software update, and lane‑centering remains standard there unlike recent U.S. changes.
